Is there a way to block the report control from changing a selected row's background color when a user clicks on the row?

Basically I want the report control to look as if no row can be selected.

Thank you.

try

GetPaintManager()->m_clrHighlight = 0xFFFFFF

That is close to what I need. Unfortunately the group record items are one color and the child record items are using a ledger (alternating) color scheme.

You solution changes the color for each record item to the same color. Is there a way to get the record item background color prior to drawing the highlight?

I tried for the OnReportItemLClick for the Report Control but it gets called after the highlight is drawn.

Thank you.

I made a custom CXTPReportRecordItemText derived class that stores the background color. And I implemented an overridden Draw function that simply calls the control's GetPaintManager and sets the appropriate background color before calling the original CXTPReportRecordItemText::Draw function. That correctly kept the background color from changing.

Unfortunately the selected items text color changes to white and now that the background color is correct I can see a focus box being drawn around the item. Both of which I need to eliminate in order to make it look like the row is not being selected.

Any other ideas? Thanks again.

You can override

virtual void CXTPReportPaintManager::DrawFocusedRow(CDC* pDC, CRect rcRow);

and do nothing in it.

Perfect! Thank you!

Now that I've been digging around in this code for a couple weeks I'm starting to see the big picture on how it all works.
