GridViewCheckBox style

[Nick Anderson]

I am trying to style the GridViewCheckBox in my application, but I can't seem to get the GridViewCheckBox style to take effect. I would like to show the CheckBox without a box around it (just the check or no check).

Using Blend, this is what I got for a style:

<ResourceDictionary
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">
    <!-- Resource dictionary entries should be defined here. -->
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCheckBox}">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCheckBox}">
                    <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="13" Height="13">
                        <Grid Margin="0">
                            <Path x:Name="IndeterminatePath" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF8D8D8D" StrokeThickness="1.5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="7" Height="7" Visibility="Collapsed" Data="M14.708333,144.5L20.667,144.5"/>
                            <Path x:Name="CheckedPath" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="#FF8D8D8D" StrokeThickness="1.5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Visibility="Collapsed" Data="M32.376187,77.162509L35.056467,80.095277 40.075451,70.02144"/>
                        </Grid>
                    </Grid>
                    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                        <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
                            <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="CheckedPath" Value="Visible"/>
                        </Trigger>
                        <Trigger Property="IsThreeState" Value="True">
                            <Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="IndeterminatePath" Value="Visible"/>
                        </Trigger>
                    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</ResourceDictionary>

I also see there is a class for the GridViewCheckBoxColumn, but I have been unsuccessful in changing the style template of that either.

How can I style the checkbox?

Thanks.

Hi Nick Anderson,

Attached is a sample project that shows how to modify the GridViewCheckBox,that shows only the tick mark without any borders around it.
Just to mention that when the GridViewCheckBox goes into edit mode,the EditorStyle property of the GridViewCheckBox column defines the appearance of the GridViewCheckBox.
It would also suggest you to see the following thread and if you need any further assistance please let me know.

Sincerely yours,
