Gridline Colors/Configuration

[Marco]

 

Sorry if this is a bad question but I want to configure the grid lines in the RadGridView. This Post https://www.telerik.com/forums/change-color-of-the-grid---radgridview says I have to use Visual Style Builder and edit the theme.... Do I really have to dig into this massive thing?! Thats a total overload...? All I want is to configure the grid lines?

Hi Marco,

This is valid only if you want to change the hot tracking (MouseOver) styles. The styles for the MouseOver state should be changed in theme and there are no events that allow you to change this in the code. For other cases, you can just use the formatting events: Formatting Cells.

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi Dimitar

That was helpful. I could at least remove the "inner" borders. Is there a way to remove the row-header borders too?

Hello Marco,

Change the event to ViewCellFormatting which is fired for non-data cells. Here is an example as well:

private void RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row is GridViewDataRowInfo)
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawBorder = false;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawBorderProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }

}

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
