Get Expand/Collapse Column in Child Grid

[Frank]

I have a master grid that opens to show  rows in a child grid. The master grid has alternating colors for rows. I want the child rows to all have the same color as their parent row. This I have accomplished, but the first  column (contains the expand/collapse button in parent row) is not colored appropriatly.

How do I get access to that column's cell to change it's background color?

I have attached two image files...one with parent collapsed and one with parent expanded.

Thank you,
Frank Prevatt

Hello Frank,

You can hook to RadGrid's ItemCreated event, get reference to the GridNestedViewItem and set the appropriate cell's background color. Similar to the following:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridNestedViewItem)
    {
        (e.Item as GridNestedViewItem).Cells[0].BackColor = Color.Red;
    }
}
