How to Deselect a Hightlighted Range

I wanted to know how to do deselect a highlighted range after i select it?

Here is the code i am using:

  If e.Modifiers = Keys.Control AndAlso e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then
            If rgDataGatheringControlContainer.Name = Me.ActiveControl.Name Then
                rgDataGatheringControl.SelectRange(2, 1, 32, 2)
            End If
            nonNumberEntered = True
            Exit Sub
        End If

I have tried to use object.RemoveHighlightRange(range) and object.RemoveAllHighlightRanges() and both do not do what i want.. is there a way to just to deselect all?

Re: How to Deselect a Hightlighted Range

Hi Shane,

You want to hide the focus selection range?
By default the focus selection range cannot be hidden, unless set the SelectionMode to None.

This is focus selection range, by default it cannot be hidden.

When set the SelectionMode to None, it will disappear.
VB:

worksheet.SelectionMode = ReoGridSelectionMode.None

To restore it, set the SelectionMode back to Range:
VB:

worksheet.SelectionMode = ReoGridSelectionMode.Range

This is a highlight range, it's another feature than focus selection range. (It's an hidden feature was designed to support the formula editor in future version)

To add a highlight range:
VB:

'Add highlight range
Dim refRange = worksheet.AddHighlightRange(New ReoGridRange("B2:D3"))

'Change highlight range color
refRange.HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue

But I just found a bug in v0.8.8 with the SelectionMode = None, I will fix it.
