Styling Header Row

[farizvi]

I am trying to change the theme of RadGridView's HeaderRow. I have followed the steps mentioned in the documentation and created a custom style in Blend. However, when I copy that style to my actual Silverlight project, that style is not applied. My style markup is given below

 

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridView_HeaderBackground" Color="#F6E0C1"/><br>    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridView_HeaderOuterBorder" Color="#F6E0C1"/><br>    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridViewHeaderCellDropMarkerPenBrush" Color="White"/><br>    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GridView_HeaderForeground" Color="Black"/><br>    <Style x:Key="MyGridViewHeaderCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderCell">       <br>        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource GridView_HeaderBackground}"/><br>        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource GridView_HeaderOuterBorder}"/><br>        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0 0 0 0"/><br>        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/><br>        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/><br>        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="5 0 3 0"/>       <br>        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource GridView_HeaderForeground}"/><br>    </Style>

Am I missing something?

Hi,

The Style that you provided is has a Key value defined. It will be applied only on those control instances that explicitly refer their Style property to it  (ex. Style="{StaticResource MyGridViewHeaderCellStyle​}"). I believe that you need to define an implicit style - one that only has a TagetType. In this way, it will be applied to all of the instances of the defiend type that fall into its resource scope. Here is a MSDN article that provides some more extensive information on styles.
