Mouse Over for Grid columns

[Vikas]

How can i change the mouse over and selected (color after you click on a column)  color for the GridView columns. I am using this to change the default color

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewHeaderCell}" >
            <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Verdana"/>
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value=".2"/>
            <Setter Property="Background"  Value="#FF8CC63F"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF8CC63F"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
        </Style>

        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderRow" >
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF8CC63F" />
        </Style>

I found another thread that has a solution, but it is creating a different template
<ControlTemplate x:Key="GridViewHeaderCellTemplate" TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderCell">

I don't want to change the look of column headers just the back ground, mouse over and when they are clicked, is it not possible to jsut use style triggers to do that.

Thanks

Hello Vikas,

In order to change the colors when a GridViewHeaderCell is in MouseOver and Selected States, you need to change the brushes used in GridView_HeaderBackground_Over and GridView_HeaderBackground_Selected border elements within the GridViewHeaderCellTemplate.

For more information about the different brushes used you can check the Styling the Column Headers documentation article.

I hope this helps.
