Customize the selection color?

[immitev]

Is it possible to customize the selection color?

I have specified an alternating grid row color using  ((GridTableElement) rgv.GridElement).AlternatingRowColor = Color.FromArgb(146, 164, 66);

But the default selection color doesn't look good with it...

UPDATE: Ok, I figure it out - I should subscribe to RowFormattingHandler event

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for writing.

There is also another way to modify the selection color for the rows in the RadGridView. You can create your own theme or modify an existing one by using the Visual Style Builder. Please note that there are currently some issues when using VSB with the grid in particular which will be fixed in the upcoming Q3 2008 SP2 release.

Please do not hesitate to write me back if you need a more thorough explanation.

All the best,

I was wondering why there are 4 BackColor properties of the GridRowElement - BackColor, BackColor2, BackColor3, BackColor4. I could not find documentation explaining how they are used..

Hello Ivan,

Basically, these four properties are used in creating gradients and represent the gradients stop colors. You can read further here:
