How can I access ScrollBar thumb?

[ss]

Hello,

Can you please help me how can I access vertical scrollbar thumb of GridView? 

Thank you.

Hi ss,

Briefly to access either horizontal or vertical scrollbars of RadGridView you should edit the template of the GridViewScrollViewer. There you should find the VerticalScrollBar, edit its template and then you can access its Thumb. You can do the same for horizontal scrollbar.

I have prepared an example for you that demonstrates this approach.

All the best,

Hello Loic,

 
For those who do not use Expression Blend, we offer our Themes as a separate projects and you can get the xaml files for all of them  from the Themes folder of your personal installation. If you need to change the background of the GridViewScrollViewer, copy the style to your project and change the corresponding brush that paints its background.

Sorry but I shoud be evry stupid I don't see a downloadableProject on your link.

Also, I have no issues with GridViewSrollViewer Background, but I have with ScrollBars it's no the same thing. Is it?

Thx

Hi Loic,


Please accept my apology for the omission.
Let me try to explain this case. Within the GridViewScrollViewer's template you have to access either the vertical or horizontal scrollbars and modify the Thumb element there. 
You may find attached sample project that demonstrates this approach.

Actually more than 500 code lines to set a background color, it is not what I name "an Easy Way" ;)
But that works very well!

Thank you very much.

Hello,

The markup is generated from Blend automatically after few clicks - you do not have to write it or copy/paste it. This is how the XAML platform works (both Silverlight and WPF).
