How to change the Row selection color in RadgridView for Winforms

[Beatrice]

Hi,

I have my Radgridview for Winforms (vb.net) with multi-select option.

I have set my code to change the backcolor of the grid based on a criteria.

If CInt(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value) = 0 Or CInt(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value) = 20 Then
    e.RowElement.DrawFill = True
    e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.LightYellow
ElseIf CInt(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value) = 3 Then
     e.RowElement.DrawFill = True
     e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Gold
End If

It works perfect!

But now when I multi-select the rows it doen't show the color of the selection? Is there a way to have the rows selected to have different color? Atleast I need to differentiate the selected rows.

In the attachment I submitted, I have selected row 2,3 and 4. It just shows the border of the rows little darker. Its very harder to distinguish the color of the selection.

So I just want a color for selecting records and if I unselect it, the color should come back to the original color.

Hello Beatrice,

Thank you for writing.

In this case you can set different backcolor for the current and the selected rows:

Private Sub radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(sender As Object, e As RowFormattingEventArgs)
    If e.RowElement.IsSelected OrElse e.RowElement.IsCurrent Then
        e.RowElement.DrawFill = True
        e.RowElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid

        e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Gray
    ElseIf Convert.ToInt32(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value.ToString()) = 0 OrElse Convert.ToInt32(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value.ToString()) = 20 Then
        e.RowElement.DrawFill = True
        e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.LightYellow
    ElseIf Convert.ToInt32(e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells("trd_typ").Value) = 3 Then
        e.RowElement.DrawFill = True

        e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Gold
    Else
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
    End If
End Sub

Please note that you should always reset any changed styles. Detailed information can be found here: Formatting Rows.
