Breaking Changes with RadGridView re: Themes

[Kathleen]

Note:  This problem just suddenly went away, must have been a cached issue.

We upgraded to the Beta today and have found some unexpected side effects.

We were using the WIndows7 theme.  This continues to work in Development, but our test site displays the grid with no selection, only a small indicator on the selected cell and the row is not highlighted anyway.  Is there something new we might need to include in our distribution?

Also, in our configuration screen, we allow users to override alternating color and background color,and we show a sample preview grid that looks something like the code below.  Changing the AlternateBackground color no longer works, it flickers then returns to the grid background color.

<!-- sample grid -->

 

 

 

<telerikGrid:RadGridView Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="5"

 

 

 

 

x:Name="sampleGrid" HorizontalAlignment="Left"

 

 

 

 

AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserInsertRows="False"

 

 

 

 

ShowGroupPanel="False" GridLinesVisibility="Horizontal" Width="400" CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

 

 

 

 

telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" AlternationCount="2"

 

 

 

 

IsFilteringAllowed="False" ItemsSource="{Binding SampleGridItems}"

 

 

 

 

FontFamily="{Binding ElementName=cmbFontFamily, Path=SelectedItem}"

 

 

 

 

FontSize="{Binding ElementName=cmbFontSize, Path=SelectedValue}"

 

 

 

 

Foreground="{Binding ElementName=fontColorPicker, Path=SelectedColor, Converter={StaticResource colorToBrushConverter}}"

 

 

 

 

Background="{Binding ElementName=gridBackGroundColor, Path=SelectedColor, Converter={StaticResource colorToBrushConverter}}"

 

 

 

 

AlternateRowBackground="{Binding ElementName=gridAlternateRowBackground, Path=SelectedColor, Converter={StaticResource colorToBrushConverter}}" IsTabStop="False">

 

 

 

 

 

<telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>

 

 

 

 

 

<telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Header="{Binding Source={StaticResource ServiceResources},Path=ResourceStrings.NameHeader}"/>

 

 

 

 

 

<telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Address}" Header="{Binding Source={StaticResource ServiceResources},Path=ResourceStrings.AddressHeader}"/>

 

 

 

 

 

</telerikGrid:RadGridView.Columns>

 

 

 

 

 

</telerikGrid:RadGridView>

Hello Kathleen,

I have made some tests in hopes of reproducing the errors you are refering to but to no avail. Every single property you modified in the sample code is working as expected. Are you also redefining the template of the row? If such is the case could you also send that template so I can investigate this.

That being said we will continue looking for reasons which might be causing the issues you are having and fix them should there be any need for that.

All the best,
Kalin Milanov

Sorry for the trouble, the problem just went away, without any real reason.

May have been a local cached file issue.
