How to apply CellStyle at RadGridView level?

[Debbie]

Hi there

We are using RadGridViews all over our application, and they all need to be styled according to our designs. Our grids are bound to a datasource; some of our grids are automatically generated (sutogeneratecolumns=true) and some have datacolumns defined (because they contain extra elements e.g. checkbox). We've created a CellStyle and would like to apply it "grid-wide" but how do we do this on grids that are autogenerated?

Thanks,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

To apply a CellStyle to an autogenerated first should attach an EventHandler to the DataLoaded event:

this.RadGridView1.DataLoaded += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(RadGridView1_DataLoaded);

Then in the handler you go through the grid columns and apply the style:

void RadGridView1_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var col in RadGridView1.Columns)
    {
        col.CellStyle = (Style)this.Resources["GridViewCellStyle"];
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Hi,

In your above post you showed how to apply style for the columns.
My datatable contains datacolumns of typeof(object) , data can either be a bool , string , or List<string>.
So i need to have a checkbox , combobox or a textblock based on data.
Any help or suggesstions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
