I have followed the following example, where I have replaced the default view only GridViewCheckBoxTemplate with my own, in the resource dictionary:

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/silverlight/controls/radgridview/styles-and-templates/columns-styling-checkboxcolumn.html

This works well, because it automatically fixed all of our grids, without me having to do anything else. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do the same for the Check Box in edit mode. No matter what I try, it always ends up just being the standard CheckBox.

I have been through all of the documentation and every forum that I can find and nothing is getting me closer to this goal: I would like to find the place where the Telerik GridViewCheckBoxColumn says that it is going to use CheckBox as it's cell edit template and give the name of a new style I create, which is based on CheckBox but looks like my GridViewCheckBoxTemplate does. This way everyone who uses GridViewCheckBoxColumn will automatically get this.

I have been through every piece of documentation and forum thread I can find and nothing is helping me figure out how to deal with the edit mode look from GridViewCheckBoxColumn. Does anyone have an example I can follow? I am fairly new to templating and styling, so the more specific the better.

Here is the code for the control on my screen:

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn MinWidth="200"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding Label}"
Header="Medical"
IsReadOnly="True" />
<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn MinWidth="80"
AutoSelectOnEdit="True"
CellStyle="{StaticResource CenterCheckBox}"
DataMemberBinding="{Binding Answer}"
EditTriggers="CellClick"
Header="Check If Yes"
IsReadOnly="{Binding MedicalSelected.CannotCheckBox}" />
</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

And here is the code from my GridViewCheckBoxTemplate:

What I really would like to do is find the place where the Telerik controls says that it is going to use CheckBox when in edit mode and give it a different Styled CheckBox that I can match the look to the template GridViewCheckBoxStyle above. This would be ideal fix because it would mean anywhere a GridViewCheckBoxColumn was used, it would automatically use these new templates / styles instead.

Ok, I looked up some other posts and information based on your response and was able to figure out what I needed to do. I thought you were saying I needed to do something with EditorStyle in a template, but you just meant a property on the grid column in the xaml.

It would be cool if I we had a way to set that Editor Style in the GridViewCheckBoxColumn template though, so that it was automatically used in all cases, as opposed to each grid needing to have this EditorStyle property set individually. If you know how to do that, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Right now, this is what I have in my xaml:

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn MinWidth="80"
                                                                                    AutoSelectOnEdit="True"
                                                                                    CellStyle="{StaticResource CenterCheckBox}"
                                                                                    DataMemberBinding="{Binding Answer}"
                                                                                    EditorStyle="{StaticResource LargerCheckBox}"
                                                                                    EditTriggers="CellClick"
                                                                                    Header="Check If Yes"
                                                                                    IsReadOnly="{Binding ConductSelected.CannotCheckBox}" />

I am looking to make it so that all GridViewCheckBoxColumns automatically use that EditorStyle by default.
