GridView's default font issue in Office2010Black theme solved

[Jürgen]

Hello,

I encountered the following issue (and found a solution) with GridView when using the Office2010Black theme:

When the font of the parent form (RadForm) was set to let's say Segoe UI; 9,75pt; style=Bold and this form contained a RadGridView, then the font of the GridView root element even got this font settings and thus all texts of the grid view were displayed in the font of the parent window with the following visual result:

Reason:

In the RootRadElement of the RadGridView the Font property wasn't set to a specific text repository.

Solution:

The font property of the RootRadElement of the RadGridView has to be set to a specific text repository.

Hi Jurgen,

When there are no explicit settings the properties values are inherited from their parent. This is the default behavior. Your solution is correct and explicitly setting the font will have the desired effect. Thank you for sharing your solution with the community.
