Background colour of grid header not working..

[FISCAL]

Hi,

why following code is not changing the header background color?
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="true" BackColor="#FF9900"/>

Many thanks

Hi M G,

By default the RadGrid header gets image from grid sprites and repeated it horizontally:

.RadGrid_Default .rgHeader, .RadGrid_Default th.rgResizeCol {
background:url("/Example/WebResource.axd?d=JSFPqlAaSqKUrTohMTfXqfrIw9LabHGFla0WzaxpulNQNTS10LWEADkRp2ZNLBYWeN8PKbUPdsOH-rYqycVtbQ2&t=634050632760000000") repeat-x scroll 0 -2300px #EAEAEA;
border-color:-moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color #828282;
border-style:none none solid;
border-width:0 0 1px;
}

To achieve the desired functionality you need to remove the background image from the header items. For example you could try setting the external css class to the MasterTableView.HeaderStyle-CssClass which remove the image:

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" AllowAutomaticDeletes="true" AutoGenerateEditColumn="true" ID="RadGrid1" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
 <MasterTableView EditMode="InPlace" HeaderStyle-CssClass="test">
...

<style type="text/css">
 .test
 {
    background-image: none !important;
 }
</style>

Additionally I am sending you a simple example which demonstrates the desired functionality.
