Change cell BackColor but retain its hover color

[Tamás]

Hi,

I changed the BackColor property of a CellElement using the CellFormatting event, but it seems very awkward compared to the other cells in the row when that row is hovered or selected:
the other cells in the row change their colors because of the hovering, whereas the cell whose BackColor I adjusted remains the same.

How can I help this poor cell to behave like its fellows?

Thanks,
Tamás

Hello Tamás,

Thank you for writing.

To avoid changing the visual settings you have to check if the cell in CellFormating event is from Current or Selected row. Please review the code-block below as example:
 

private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ColumnIndex == 2 && e.CellElement is GridDataCellElement)
    {

        GridDataCellElement cell = e.CellElement as GridDataCellElement;
        if (cell.RowInfo != this.radGridView1.CurrentRow && !cell.IsSelected &&
            cell.Value.ToString() == "4")
        {
            cell.DrawFill = true;
            cell.BackColor = Color.Red;
            cell.ForeColor = Color.White;
        }
        else
        {
            cell.DrawFill = false;
            cell.BackColor = Color.White;
            cell.ForeColor = Color.Black;
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps.
