[Solved] Alternating row color for GridViewComboBox items

[Alex]

I have a GridViewComboBox column that I have a custom layout for as shown below.   

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemTemplate>
   <DataTemplate>
      <StackPanel>
         <TextBlock Text="{Binding ProjectCode}" />
         <TextBlock Text="{Binding ProjectDescription}" FontSize="10"/>
      </StackPanel>
   </DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemTemplate>

I would like to use an alternating background color for each item.  Is there a way to specify alternating row color for the ComboBox items?  Either in XAML or codebehind?

Thanks.

Hello Alex Durrant,

Such feature is not supported internally. We do not have row background alternation API.

As a workaround I may suggest to provide some property (boolean or integer , or even brush)  in the object used as a source collection for the combo.

Then in the item template you can bind the background to that property ( either directly, or via IValueConverter).

All the best,
