[Solved] How to change the GridRowView template?

[Weiqi]

i want to add a bold line at the bottom of the row and want to change the template of GridRowView, but i don't want to break the original features.
so, how to make the template to achieve my requirement?

Thanks

Hi Weiqi,

Actually there is no need to edit the template of the row. You can define only a style for it and set its the BorderThickness to a value of your choice. The tricky part here is to set both the BorderBrush of the row and the HorizontalGridLineBrush to the same color to the same color to get the desired result.

Attacked I am sending you a sample to get you started. I hope you will find it useful.

Hi Milanov,

Thanks for your reply. But my requirement is bold grid row line evey 5(or else) rows. So my idea is to create a GridRowView template with bold line and apply it  for specific rows.

Hello Minwei,

If you want to change the style of every (let's say 5th row) there is a way to do that without editing the template by utilizing the alternate row style. Simply add a x:Key to the style I have sent you and use this resource for the AlternateRowStyle property. Then set the AlternationCount property of the grid to the value of your choice (4 in this case). 

Attached I am sending you an updated sample with this approach. 

Alternatively if you have more complex logic for underlining the rows you can implement it in C# and then use RowStyleSelector or RowTemplateSelector to apply the style or template as needed. You can use this example as reference.

If you still want to use a custom template for the row - I havre provided that in the XAML too.

Let me know how this goes.
