[Solved] RadGridView and RowStyleSelections

[Ricky]

I am developing an application that uses RadGridViews throughout with telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" applied to them. I am now developing a grid that uses RowStyleSelections to customize rows font color depending on special conditions
(I used http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/gridview-rowstyleselector.html to make this change).

     <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
                    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
                    <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
                </Style>
            </special:EventLogStyleSelector.HighPriority>
            <special:EventLogStyleSelector.NotHighPriority>
                <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
                    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
                </Style>

Unfortunately, some of the rows styles changed in an undesired way. Now when rows are selected, they have the default style of being light orange instead of the light blue from the Windows7 style.

Is there anyway to combine this custom style with the Windows7 style or mimic it?

Hello Ricky,

 

The styles used in our themes are theme specific. You have defined an implict styles based on the default Office_Black theme. If you want to apply these styles based on any theme different than the default one you should change the styles as shown below:

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow" telerik:StyleManager.BasedOn="Windows7">
                   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
                   <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
               </Style>
           </special:EventLogStyleSelector.HighPriority>
           <special:EventLogStyleSelector.NotHighPriority>
               <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow" telerik:StyleManager.BasedOn="Windows7">
                   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
  </Style>

Then the style will be applied relatively to Windows7 theme. You may do the same for any other Telerik theme.

All the best,
