[Solved] AlternateRowStyle for Themes?

[Terry]

Hi:

I've read in this forum that some of the standard themes have alternating row colors.  But they don't for me.  I'm defining the theme in app.xaml.cs:

 

 

            Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.ApplicationTheme
                = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Office_SilverTheme();

I've tried setting the gridview's UseAlternateRowStyle="True" to no avail.

I've also tried the example I've seen in this forum to set the color directly, but I get a "Invalid attribute value radGridView:GridViewRow for property TargetType" error.  My code is:

<UserControl
    x:Class="KPIControl.ReportGrid"
    xmlns:radGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    >
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <radGridView:RadGridView x:Name="gvReport" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
            ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" ScrollMode="Deferred"

        >

            <radGridView:RadGridView.Resources>
                <Style x:Name="GridViewAlternateRowStyle" TargetType="radGridView:GridViewRow">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
                </Style>
            </radGridView:RadGridView.Resources>
            <radGridView:RadGridView.RowAppearance>
                <radGridView:RowAppearanceSettings AlternateRowStyle="{StaticResource GridViewAlternateRowStyle}" />
            </radGridView:RadGridView.RowAppearance>

Any help would be appreciated.  If there is a way to turn alternate lines on in the themes, I would prefer that as users will get a consistent look regardless of the theme they select.

Thanks in advance,

Terry

Hi Terry,

All of our themes support row alternation for RadGridView. You can turn row alternation on by simply setting the UseAlternateRowStyle="True". When you do that the grid will automatically use the theme specific alternate row style and apply it.

I noticed you are experimenting with the Office_Silver theme and I am attaching you a sample application which uses row alternation and the silver theme.

Best wishes,
