change default selected cell colour

[Chris]

Is there a quick way to change the default selected cell colour from that light brown to whatever other colour I wish?

Hello Chris,


Thank you for contacting us. 

You may predefine the template of GridViewCell and manipulate the visual element with x:Name Background_Selected, as proposed below:

<Border x:Name="Background_Selected" Margin="1 1 2 2" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="1"
                        BorderBrush="{StaticResource ItemOuterBorder_Selected}"
                        Grid.Column="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Visibility="Collapsed">
    <Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="{StaticResource ItemInnerBorder_Selected}"
                        Background="{StaticResource ItemBackground_Selected}" />
</Border>

*the mark-up above is against the default Office_Black theme. 

You could also check our online documentation for further reference.

Thank you for the response. I have read the articles, but where do I put the border element? within the radgridview element?

Hello Chris,


Thank you for getting back to us. 

Background_Selected element is part of the template of GridViewCell, located within Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.xaml. 

I'm attaching you small sample demo, which illustrates how to modify this element against Office_Black theme. Microsoft Expression Blend image preview is included, as well. 

Please take a look at this demo and let me know how I can assist you further.
