Grid row color

[sankardeep v]

Hi ,
           I am using telerik rad grid in my  Application .The main motive for using the radgrid is to implement the drag and drop row functionality , which is working great . My issue is i have given different colors to the rows on the grids  item data bound event based on some conditions , so when i select a row the color i have given to the row is over ridden by the default color of grid(when we select a row). That breaks my design because the new color doesn't completely overlaps the row it ,   i will attach a screen shot so that u can see( it looks very odd) . in screen shot the row color red which i have given is not completely over lapped by the default color of row select .

Either it must completely over lap or the color should not change . please advise

Hello Sankardeep,

It seems that your screenshot is missing, but probably this will help you:

Note the difference between "color" (which usually is used for text color) and background color.

Kind regards,

Hi,
And also in my case the row color will be changing according to a condition .
So we cant set it as fixed . u can see my condition below .

Protected Sub TaskGridView_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles TaskGridView.ItemDataBound
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
            Dim Item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
            Dim RowColor As TableCell = Item("Color")          'this comes from db , row color will depend on this value
            If RowColor.Text <> "" Then
                Select Case RowColor.Text                   
                    Case "blue"
                        Item.BackColor = Color.Blue
                        Exit Select
                    Case "yellow"
                        Item.BackColor = Color.Yellow
                        Exit Select
                    Case "red"
                        Item.BackColor = Color.Red
                        Exit Select
                    Case "orange"
                        Item.BackColor = Color.Orange
                        Exit Select
                    Case "green"
                        Item.BackColor = Color.Green
                        Exit Select
                End Select
            End If
        End If
End Sub

Hello Sankardeep,

The code library demo is for the Office2007 skin. You are using the Windows7 skin. Did you modify the example, according to the explanations provided in the screenshots?
