Hello jean michel,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Here is what has happened :
The background has really changed however since the header cells had solid black background  and covered the header row , the pink color could not be seen.

In the  attached example I have added a small style to make the header cells Transparent, so that the color of the header row could be visible.

The same style can be used to set any other color ( except  transparent ) to the header cells.

Hope  this helps.

Hi jean michel,

Please excuse me for the late answer. i have finally found what was causing the trouble. In SL3 there is no support for global styles and this was the reason for the header cell style to not apply.

I have added a key for the style and set it explicitly in the column .

Please find the working application attached.

Using the above works great, however when a grouping is assigned to the grid the 'Grouping' Column header still has the default black colour applied. Is there an extra option required to style this column?

Thanks.

Hello jean michel,

The project attached  is for SL3 ( telerik 309 version ) . It has the full header cell style and template  extracted - with the border set to yellow ( for illustration purposes) .
* there are two borders in the header cell - inner and outer both set to yellow.

After you modify this style according to your needs, you may set it as a HeaderStyle of the column .

Hi, I am trying to do something similar.

I am trying to give my gridview header a gray background,(achieved) with white text.

My question is how do i set the text colour of the header columns? I've tried

<

 

 

Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />

 

 


But i think my textblock styles are somehow overriding it.

Thanks

I have kind of answered this myself, I used

 

 

 

<Grid.Resources>

 

 

 

 

<Style TargetType="TextBlock" >

 

 

 

 

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />

 

 

 

 

</Style>

 

 

 

 

</Grid.Resources>

However i now have to find away to do this with a tabcontrol.
Thanks

Hello Emma,


Do you mean you need to style the header of the RadTabControl , or there is some issue when the grid is placed in a Tab control

Hello Pavel,

I am a designer working in Blend with an issue simular to those discussed in this thread. I opened the project "

headerbackgroundchange-sl-modified" but when I ran it, I still saw the same issue I am having. I was already able to change the areas that are pink in the sample project, but I can't figure out what to change in order to effect the black group column header.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ted

Hello Ted,

 
Actually this is the RowIndicator of a GridViewHeaderRow, in its template you can find the PART_IndicatorPresenter and there you can modify the brushes you need.
Attached is a sample project that demonstrates this approach.
