Changing the row background through bindings

[Jose Simas]

Hi,

In my GridView I need to change the background of certain rows depending on one property of the object bound to that row. I found the forum thread below which explains how to do it but as soon as I change the references on the examples posted to the latest version of the GridView it does not compile. Would you please update the example or point me to another solution?

Best Regards,

This is actually quite easy to do but I lost a couple of hours looking for the solution so I thought I would post here the answer.

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Name="radGridView1">

    <telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

        <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridView:GridViewRow}">

            <Style.Triggers>

                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding MyFlag}" Value="True">

                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>

                    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>

                </DataTrigger>

            </Style.Triggers>

        </Style>

    </telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

</telerik:RadGridView>

Hello Jose Simas,

You can also use Conditional Styles and Templates for RadGridView-WPF/SL.
Other than that using DataTriggers is probably the most straightforward way to go.

All the best,
