Multiple GridViews on one page with different GridViewRow templates and selection

[Thomas]

Hi Telerik Team,

We're using the latest GridView components, VS2015 C#, MVVM project and we're trying to use the info from your Custom Row Layout demo to customize the look of our rows.
This worked pretty well so far but now we're facing the problem having more than one RadGridView on one page.

Currently we're setting the GridViewRow template like in your demo.
But then every GridView on this page uses this template thus both grids look like our custom template.
Is there a way to specify different GridViewRow templates to two grids on one page?

And the second question is: How to create a selection highlight for a templated GridViewRow?

Currently the row shows up like we want it but selection highlight doesn't work anymore.
Maybe you've a demo how to achive this.
Even in your custom layout demo row selection doesn't seem to work.

I hope you can help me with both problems.

Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the detailed explanation of the setup you are using.

I will address your inquiries one by one. 

The style in the referred example is defined as an implicit one. This means that it will be applied to all instances of the given element. In order to apply it only to the needed ones, you need to make the Style an explicit one. This can be achieved by adding an X:Key to it. Then, you can apply this Style to the needed instance of RadGridView through its RowStyle property. You can take a look at this blog post for a more detailed look over the topic.

As to the selection highlighting in the demo, it is intentionally removed from the template of the row. I will paste the default template of GridViewRow for the default Office_Black theme below for reference.

<ControlTemplate x:Key="GridViewRowTemplate" TargetType="grid:GridViewRow">

As you can see, the Selected VisualState controls the visibility of the Background_Selected Border. You can adopt a similar approach in the customized template of the row.

Hopefully, this makes thins clearer. Let me know in case additional assistance is needed.

Hi Stefan,

thank you for your reply.

We found a solution for setting the custom row layout for two different grids. Thank you for that.

But we still have a problem with the selection of a custom row layout. We currently use the DLLs with XAML but as far as I understand it, it's not possible to use "BasedOn" the default template and overwrite the layout with our own. It seems this is only possible with the implicit NoXAML DLLs. Is this right? Currently we use the material theme. Would it be possible to get a small demo on how to implement the selection? Or maybe some mor details on how to use it the right way.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Generally, the usage of implicit styles with NoXAML binaries is the recommended approach when such customization of the default visual appearance of the components is applied. The theme files for each theme are located in the Themes.Implicit folder in your installation folder. So, within the Material folder you should be able to find the Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.xaml theme file in which you can search for the GridViewRow ControlTemplate. Can you please check this out and let me know in case further assistance is needed?
