    I am using the VisualListItemFormatting event to achieve an alternating item background color effect like so:

    Private _rowIndex As Integer = 0
        Private Sub cmb_VisualListItemFormatting(sender As Object, args As VisualItemFormattingEventArgs) Handles cmb.VisualListItemFormatting
            If _rowIndex Mod 2 = 0 Then
                args.VisualItem.SetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Color.FromArgb(224, 226, 255))
                args.VisualItem.SetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, GradientStyles.Solid)
            End If
     
            _rowIndex = _rowIndex + 1
        End Sub

    However, this appears to affect the mouse over background color. Here's the default mouseover on a row not impacted by the formatting above (note the entire background is highlighted):

    And here's the mouseover on a row impacted by the formatting (note that the background is not highlighted - only a border appears):

    How can I make these consistent? Preferably all of the items would have the entire background color changed. OR, is there a better way to achieve alternating item colors that would not cause this issue?

    Hello,

    Your question has already been answered in the support thread you've opened. Please, see our answer there for more information.

    We kindly ask you to use just one support channel to contact us. Posting the same questions numerous times slows down our response time because we will need to review and address two or more tickets instead of one. Moreover threads are handled according to license and time of posting, so if it is an urgent problem, we suggest you use a support ticket, which would be handled before a forum thread.

    Thank you for your understanding. 

    All the best,
    Stefan
