Custom GridViewCell Style Not Applying Theme

[Johnny Chung]

I have an application that is using the Office2013 Implicit theme. 

I need to highlight specific cells in a RadGridView (by changing the background color) and have done so using a custom Style Selector.

The issue is that when the custom GridViewCell style is applied, it does not inherit the Office2013 theme.

 

// CellStyle

<Style x:Key="WarningCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}">
    <Style.Setters>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LemonChiffon"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
    </Style.Setters>
</Style>

 

Am I targetting the right resources? (TargetType, BasedOn)

Any ideas/suggestions on how to do this otherwise?

Happy to provide more code or screenshots if needed.

Hello,

I believe BasedOn should work if your StaticResource has this style set something like this:

 

<telerik:Theme x:Key="DefaultGlobalTheme">Office2013</telerik:Theme>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}" x:Key="GridViewCellStyle">
        <Setter Property="telerik:StyleManager.Theme" Value="{DynamicResource DefaultGlobalTheme}" />
</Style>

 

Or you could just try and set the theme directly:

<Style x:Key="WarningCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}">
    <Style.Setters>
        <Setter Property="telerik:StyleManager.Theme" Value="Office2013"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LemonChiffon"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
    </Style.Setters>
</Style>

Thank you for the response, however I wasn't able to get this to work.

I believe the StyleManager doesn't work with Implicit Styles so I tried changing my application to use StyleManager, but that doesn't work either - the theme just isn't applied

Hello Johnny,

I tested your scenario but the theme applies properly. Can you check the attached project and let me know if I am missing something?

Hi Martin. Thank you very much for the sample project.

I noticed that the Office2013 font in the sample matches the font in my highlighted cells - which led me to discover that I had another custom style for the gridviewcell applied further down in the application - a stupid mistake on my part.

 

Thank you all for the help, very much appreciated!
