[Solved] Backcolor of nestedViewTemplate items

[Soren Michelsen]

I have a grid with a nestedViewTemplate that contains a asp:panel with a number of things in it.

The rows in my grid has alternating backColors, white, gray, white, gray, and so on...

What I would like, is to change the backcolor of my panel in the nestedViewTemplate, so that it matches the expanded row that it "lives in".

Anyone?

Hello Jeppe Jespersen,

You can try out the following code to set the background color of the panel placed inside a NestedViewTemplate based on the parent row in the grid:
c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridNestedViewItem)
        {
            GridNestedViewItem nestedview = (GridNestedViewItem)e.Item;
            Panel pnl = (Panel)nestedview.FindControl("Panel1");
            if(nestedview.ParentItem.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem)
                pnl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;
            else
                pnl.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Empty;
        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Well.... i had to use the PreRender event, but that's besides the point.

Most importantly, your example showed me the way. Perfect!!!

Thanks!
