HighlightTextBlock - bold search result

[Heiko]

Hi,

I would like to style the search results that are displayed in HighlightTextBlock so that the found text is bold or underlined or similar. Any simple solution for that?

Regards
Heiko

Hello Heiko,

To style the HighlightTextBlock of the RadGridView, you can define a Style, similar to the following one:

<Style TargetType="telerik:HighlightTextBlock">
	<Setter Property="HighlightBrush" Value="Lime"/>
	<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
	<Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/>
</Style>

More information on customizing the HighlightTextBlock can also be found in the following two articles - Styling Search Panel and Coloring Only Text Background.
Please, try out these and let me know if they were of help.

Hello Vicky,

thanks for the reply. Your solution formats the whole text in all cells in bold. What I would like is if I search for "find" I get a result like "Find me". Maybe a new property named "HighlightFontWeight" would be a good idea. I will make a suggestion in your feedback portal.

Best regards
Heiko

Hi Heiko,

Yes, you are right - the current implementation applies all properties set to the HighlightTextBlock to the whole text (except for the HighlightBrush).
A suggested action in such case is exactly to log an item in the feedback portal, so feel free to do it.

If there is anything else I could assist you with, do not hesitate to contact me.
