Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean

true if a View has input focus; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can use the GridControl.FocusedView property to determine which Grid View is currently focused. This property, however, denotes the grid control’s internal focus only. Said differently, a View can be focused within the grid and can have no input focus at the same time. This takes place when the grid control is not focused. Thus, you need to use the BaseView.IsFocusedView property of a View to determine whether it actually has input focus.

Tip : This property can be used when custom painting a View. For instance, you can draw View elements differently based on whether it has input focus. Refer to the Custom Painting Basics help topic for additional information on painting View elements manually.

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the IsFocusedView member must not be invoked for these Views. The IsFocusedView member can only be used with Views that display real data within the Grid Control. Use the following methods to access these Views with which an end user interacts at runtime.

GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
the sender parameter of View specific events;
GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.
