defining and using styles in code behind

[al]

i have created a derived class from telerik:RadGridView. i need to styling the cells based on the data. so that i have created a styling class and use it as cellstyleselector for columns. i need to sett column cell style for each column and i used the below code but it does not work. do you have any idea of why it does not works?

public class WPFGridConv:RadGridView
{
public WPFGridConv()
    {
        this.ShowGroupPanel = false;
        this.Loaded += WPFGridConv_Loaded;
        this.AutoGeneratingColumn += WPFGridConv_AutoGeneratingColumn;
        this.ValidationType = GridViewValidationType.None;
        this.ValidatesOnDataErrors= GridViewValidationMode.InViewMode;

    }

    private void WPFGridConv_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
    {
        CreateHeader();
    }


    public void WPFGridConv_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        CreateHeader();

    }

    private void CreateHeader()
    {

        foreach (Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn column in this.Columns)
        {

                column.CellStyleSelector= new GridStyleSelector();

        }
    }
}

public class GridStyleSelector : StyleSelector
{

    public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
    {
        if (container is GridViewCell)
        {
            GridViewCell cell = container as GridViewCell;
            string columnId = cell.Column.Tag.ToString();
            WPFGridConv grid = cell.ParentOfType<WPFGridConv>();
            List<InputClass.GridColumnInfoClass> columnsInfoList = grid.workingGridClass.ListOfColumnsInfo;
            InputClass.GridColumnInfoClass columnInfo = columnsInfoList.Find(x => x.id == columnId);
            Type columnType = columnInfo.typeOfColumn;
            if ((cell.Value==null||string.IsNullOrEmpty(cell.Value.ToString())) && columnInfo.IsValueNecessary)
            {
                return NeedeValueStyle;
            }
            else

                    else
                        return CorrectValueStyle;

Hello,

The styles you defined are correctly defined and are indeed applied, however, because of RadGridView's gridlines, the BorderThickness and BorderBrush properties of the cell are not respected. You can test this by setting the Background or Foreground properties instead to see if the styles are applied.

Thus, you will need to edit the control template of the element in order to achieve the desired result. Here's a forum thread discussing a similar scenario.

I hope you find this helpful.
