change the color of gridrow on mouse hover

[Ravi Prakash]

Hi telerik team,


I am trying to use the RAD grid view for winform. What i need is to change the color as the user moves the mouse over the rows.
I.e. A row should change its color when user hovers the mouse and as the user leaves the mouse from this row, it should again change color. This is very critical for me so any help will be appreciated.

Please reply ASAP

Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi

Since you don't yet have a Telerik response, I will chime in. You should be getting this feature automatically with your theme. As the mouse moves into a row it will modify the border slightly and change the backcolor of the row. When the mouse enters a new row or leaves the grid, the unselected rows return to the normal color.

Which theme are you using?

Hi Ravi Prakash,

This is the default behavior of RadGridView. However, you can disable it by setting the EnableHotTracking property to false. You can handle the RowFormatting event, when you want to customize the behavior. Please check the following KB article and our online help for more details. Another option is to use our new Visual Style Builder and modify any of our existing themes. I hope this helps.

@Steve: Thanks for your time and reply.

Best wishes,

Hi Jack,

thanks for ur reply.

My problem is i have created the custom theme,but i'm unable to set the mouse hover color for the row of the radgridview through Visual Style Builder.
I have tried by giving the backcolor[using/created the gradient repository] to the GridDataRowElement.Hottracking[Element States dock window] ,but mousehover is appearing in the preview of VSB but when the theme is applied it is not applicable to my application gridview.

Please reply to my issue

@Thanks Steven
