[Solved] Custom Cell/Row Background/Foreground Color

[Michele]

Hi Telerik,

I have this code in MyGrid RowLoaded event:

if (e.Row Is GridViewRow && !(e.Row Is GridViewRow))
{
        Employee employee = e.DataElement As Employee;
        If ( employee.Name == "Michele")
        {
                ((GridViewRow)e.Row.BackGround = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
                ((GridViewRow)e.Row.Foreground = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
        }    
}

The BackGround Row's property work, but Foreground property don't....... Why?

How Can I do this? And How Can I customize color's cells in the Grid's RowLoaded Event?

Thank's
Michele

Hi Michele,

The reason you are not getting foreground color is because the cells which contain the text are part of the columns. Therefore you will need to set the foreground on the GridViewCell rather than on GridViewRow.

The easiest way of doing that is in XAML

<Style x:Key="GridViewCellStyle" TargetType="grid:GridViewCell">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Style>

and the assigning this style in code using DataLoaded event

void RadGridView1_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var col in RadGridView1.Columns)
    {
        col.CellStyle = (Style)this.Resources["GridViewCellStyle"];
    }
}

This should do the trick.
