Description

_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Selecting-a-disabled-DataGridCheckBoxCol/10582680)._

\[severity:I’m unable to use this version\]
Here is a minimum reproducible environment. [https://github.com/GNUGradyn/WPFCheckboxMRE](https://github.com/GNUGradyn/WPFCheckboxMRE)

As you can see in the main window XAML, all 5 columns have all of their checkboxes unconditionally disabled

```


```

However, if you select one of these cells, the cells checkbox becomes enabled again until you click back out of it.

This effectively makes it impossible to disable a checkbox. I am working in .NET framework 4.8 and using wpf

As a workaround you can use a DataGridTemplateColumn containing a normal Checkbox. This is a pain but better then not being able to disable the checkbox
