How do the typical grid cells determine cell border color information.

[David]

I've created a custom GridViewColumn, along with a custom CellElement, inheriting from GridCommandCellElement, and by default, the GridCommandCellElement does not have DrawBorder set to true.  When I set it to true, it draws a border that is a different color than, say, a GridViewTextBoxElement within the same grid.  How does the GridViewTextBoxElement know to draw it's own border as the light blue color it is currently drawing it with, as opposed to the black color my custom element is being drawn with, and how can I fetch that value?

Thanks, 

David

Hello David,

The custom cell does not have any borders because you forgot to set the ThemeEffectiveType for the cell, just add this property to the CustomCell and you will have a border by default without having to set DrawBorder to true

protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
{
    get
    {
        return typeof(GridDataCellElement);
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,
