Highlight row and column when cell is hovered

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I want to highlight Row & Columns whose Cell is hovered in WPF DataGrid.
I have selection Unit of DataGrid Set to Cell.
I have not used RowStyle & ColumnStyle just using CellStyle, I have set the RowBackground to transparent.

How to accomplish this without using the RowStyle?

Thanks!

All the cells in row and column? or just the headers?

Tarun I know the link is good But it doesn't match my requirements as I have mentioned

I have checked this link yesterday only but It uses RowStyle to highlight & also It needs the Selection Unit to be Set to FullRow Rather than Cell and I have Selection Unit as cell.

Varsha,
The example which Prerak given is excellent. You cannot expect the exact solution always. It is easy to make your requirement work using the given example. That guy also given the idea of using the Attached Property. You should leverage the property to achieve your requirement.

I know that. I also said that it is a nice link & I am not looking for the exact answer either.

Good Answer, Prerak!
