Hi,
How do I set the background color of the ControlPanel of the RadGridView ?

Hello Barry,

To achieve this you can subscribe to the Loaded event of RadGridView and get the ItemsControl representing the control panel. Then you can set its Background property. Here is an example in code:

private void GridView_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
	var controlPanel = this.gridView.ChildrenOfType<ItemsControl>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "PART_ControlPanelItemsControl");
	controlPanel.Background = Brushes.OrangeRed;
}

Read about the ChildrenOfType<T>()  method in the Visual Tree Helpers article.

Thanks...it worked !

How about the part (row) that says "Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column" ?

Hello Barry,

That's right, you can set the background of the group panel via the GroupPanelBackground property of RadGridView.
