All my details tables are expanded by default. I'd like to set the background color of every detail row to match the background color of its respective parent row. I assume it would be something along these lines:

Sub RadGrid1_ItemCreated(...)
   if itemcreated is a detail row
        determine if parent row is item or alternatingitem
        set detail row's background style to match item/alternating style         
   end if
End Sub

Is this possible? If so, could you please provide a sample code?

Thanks!

I am creating and populating some comboboxes in code for a page using 2008 SP1.

Everything seems to work fine except that it will automatically set the selected item to the first item in the list (selectedindex = 0)

If I set the selectedindex to -1 it will revert to 0. Adding an empty item to the combobox will then show the empty text but it seems a bit clunky.

Is this behaviour of automatically selecting the first combobox item (and therefore not showing the emptymessage either) correct?

code extract below :-

RadComboBox cmb = new RadComboBox();

//Set the ID
cmb.ID = "cmb_" + row.MyID;
cmb.SelectedIndex = -1;

//Add the control to the listitem container
item.Controls.Add(cmb);

//Get the possible values
string[] values = Value.Split('|');

//Custom or fixed list?
cmb.AllowCustomText = Custom;
if (Custom)
    cmb.EmptyMessage = "Select a value or enter your own";
else
    cmb.EmptyMessage = "Select a value";

//Will show empty message if I add a blank item to the combo first
//RadComboBoxItem emptyItem = new RadComboBoxItem(String.Empty);
//cmb.Items.Add(emptyItem);
//emptyItem.Selected = true;

foreach (string value in values)
{
    RadComboBoxItem cmbItem = new RadComboBoxItem(value);
    if (cmbItem.Text == row.Value)
        cmbItem.Selected = true;
    cmb.Items.Add(cmbItem);
}

//If no item matched and cmbItem.Selected = true is not hit, it will still
//have selectedindex = 0 and show the first item, not the empty message
