Alternating rows color of the RadGridView without using RowFormatting events

[Ricardo]

Dear All,

I wanted to alternate the rows in my RadGridView, but the way I searched was using RowFormatting events, which I didn't want to use.

Is that possible?

Best wishes.

hi there (bom dia)

 

you can select in the property builder.

 

but the best way is by the formatting? why not using it?

 

i add a problem with the scroll but this code fix the problem just need to change the colors with yours.

 

private void radGridView1_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement.IsSelected)
    {
        e.RowElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
        e.RowElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PaleGreen;
        e.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
    }
    else
    {
        if (e.RowElement.IsOdd)
        {
            e.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
            e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(230, 230, 250);
        }
        else
        {
            e.RowElement.DrawFill = true;
            e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.White;

            e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);

Hello, guys,   

Indeed the RowwFormatting or CellFormatting events are the appropriate solution for customizing the rows/cells in RadGridView. Additional information is available in the following help articles:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/rows/formatting-rows
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/cells/formatting-cells

However, if you want to enable alternating row color, it can be done by setting two properties: set the EnableAlternatingRowColor property to true and then specify the desired color to the TableElement.AlternatingRowColor: 

this.radGridView1.EnableAlternatingRowColor = true;
this.radGridView1.TableElement.AlternatingRowColor = Color.Yellow;

I hope this information helps.

Hello, my friend.

I'm glad you could answer my question. But I have about five or six hundred radgridviews in my project

If I add this event one by one, it's a huge job.

So I need other solutions

Hello, my friend.

Thank you for your answer. It works very well.

But this can only control the color of the alternate row in the RadGridView, and I can control the color of the alternate row if I need another row, as in the following code (DataGridView)

GV. RowsDefaultCellStyle. BackColor = Color. White

GV. AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle. BackColor = Color Bisque

What should I do?

Best wishes to you.

Hello, Ricardo,    

If you need to customize the color of the grid rows, the easiest solution would be to use the CellFormatting/ RowFormatting event:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/cells/formatting-cells
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/rows/formatting-rows

Depending on the condition for applying the color, you can use one of the following approaches as well:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/cells/conditional-formatting-cells
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/rows/conditional-formatting-rows
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/cells/formating-examples/style-property
