GridView filter symbol

[shirley wang]

Dear People,

In GridView if one column is filtered, the filter symbol will be filled with the color orange. How can i change the fillcolor to red?

Hello Shirley,

You can do that by editing the template of the header cell. In it you will find a FilteringDropDown control. Editing its template will give you a ToggleButton which is the one you need to colorize and a Popup which contains the filtering UI. Once you get there look for a LinearGradientBrush with the following key GridView_FilterIconBackground_Filtered and change it to Red. This will do the trick. 

Also I am sending you a sample app which does just that. I hope you will find it useful.

All the best,

Hello Kalin,

Thank you very very much. That solved a lot of problem of mine. 2 questions:

2.  I have Telerik source Code because my firma buyed the lizence. If i need, where can find such xaml code.

Thank you.

Hello Kalin,

I tried the code in my program. That does not work. It seems like the code only work with silverlight 4. But we must use silverlight 3.
Errormessage: Invalid XAML.

Hi Shirley,

There really is no difference in the Silverlight 3 and Silverlight 4 code apart from the namespaces used. In any case I have remade the sample targeting Silverlight 3 environment.

Hello shirley wang,

I am attaching the XAML for the Office Blue theme. You can find what you need inside it.
