Hierarchical Grid Alternate color

[pierre-jean]

Hello
I have a grid with alternate colors that I set as follows
                    gvRiders.TableElement.BackColor = My.Settings.lvColor1
                    gvRiders.TableElement.AlternatingRowColor = My.Settings.lvColor2
The colors are correct on the "main" grid, but They are not propagated to the sub-grids (I have two levels of hierarchy in the grid),The sub-grids are displaying alternate colors, but not the same as the main grid, it seems to be teh default colors.
How do I set the backcolor and alternaterowcolor of the sub-grids ?

thanks in advance

Hello Pierre-Jean,

Thank you for writing.

The color of the TableElement you have specified will be applied only to the MasterTemplate's TableElement. In order to apply the same color to the rest of the templates, you should use the following code in your CellFormatting event handler:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ViewTemplate != radGridView1.MasterTemplate)
    {
        e.CellElement.TableElement.AlternatingRowColor = radGridView1.TableElement.AlternatingRowColor;
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks a lot
it works perfectly, I just added the backcolor so that the "normal" row and the alternate row have the same color as the Mastertemplates
thanks again
