Changing back color of GridTextBoxColumn while editing in RadGridView control

[Cheryl]

Hello 

I need to change  back color of GridTextBoxColumn while editing in RadGridView control.

My application have two themes BLACK and WHITE.

For BLACK theme textcolor is white editing GridTextBoxColumn  the backcolor is white and textcolor is same so I'm unable see the typed text.

So far I have tried below approach

 GridViewDataRowInfo row = new GridViewDataRowInfo(this.dataGridView1.MasterView);
                row.Cells[0].Value = "";
                row.Cells[1].Value = "";
                row.Cells[0].Style.CustomizeFill = true;
                row.Cells[0].Style.DrawFill = true;
                row.Cells[0].Style.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("41,44,41");
                dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);

 

Where-

row.Cells[0] is GridTextBoxColumn

row.Cells[1] is GridCommandColumn 

but the changes are not affecting white editing text.

Please help.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello Cheryl,

Thank you for writing.

To change the background color of cell in edit mode you can subscribe to RadGridView's CellEditorInitialized event and set the BackColor of RadTextBoxEditor's RadTextBoxItem and FillPrimitive children.

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBoxEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadTextBoxEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        (editor.EditorElement.Children[0] as RadTextBoxItem).BackColor = Color.FromArgb(41, 44, 41);
        (editor.EditorElement.Children[1] as FillPrimitive).BackColor = Color.FromArgb(41, 44, 41);
    }
}

I hope this information helps.
