After setting a different cell-Background, rows are not "highlighted" after selecting them!?

[Michael]

Hello!

In my GridView, I'm alternating the background-color from transparent to some color for "columns-blocks". This is working.

Now, when I select a row, I want the whole row be higlighted in the typical orange color. After selecting another color, the "columns-blocks" should alternate again for the disselected row.

To better understand what I mean, a attached a screenshot.

Kind regards

Michael

Hello Michael,

Thank you for writing.

The desired appearance can be achieved by using the CellFormatting event of RadGridView. Here is a small
application demonstrating that:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        radGridView1.Columns.Add("Column " + i);
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        radGridView1.Rows.Add(i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i, i);
    }

    radGridView1.CellFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);
}

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (!e.CellElement.RowInfo.IsCurrent &&
        (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "Column 1" ||
         e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "Column 2" ||
         e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "Column 3" ||
         e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "Column 8"))
    {
        e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
        e.CellElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I hope that you find this information useful. Let us know if you have any other questions.
