Change GridView row style for hover/select

[MiroslavStantic]

Hello,

I'm setting the background color of rows in relation to data. Selecting/hovering over rows causes background color to change. This is especially problematic when there is only one row in a grid. There is no way for user to unselect the row and see the data-dependent background color. I would like to leave only the border to indicate selection (or a similar solution that allows for background color to be seen).

I know I need to supply my own style, but I don't know how to do that exactly.

Hi Miroslav,

 
You may take a look at the following online help article "Override the Default RadGridView Styles".
Please try the approach demonstrated above and let me know if you need any further assistance.

This article explains how to modify the Template:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/gridview-styling-a-row.html

It states the following:

You have two options:

• To create an empty style and set it up on your own.
• To copy the default style of the control and modify it.

This topic will show you how to perform the second one.

Where is an article on how to do the first one? I would like to avoid bringing in the bulky Template, but need to style the Selected and Hover styles.

thanks.

Hello Voss Grose,

 

When you choose the first option, Expression Blend will generate an empty style for GridViewRow, which you need to set up by your side. Generally this option is useful when you need to create custom row layout.
In order to change the colors when a GridViewRow is in MouseOver and Selected States, you need to change the brushes used in Background_Over and Background_Selected Border elements within its default template as it was demonstrated in the previously referenced help article.

All the best,
