[Solved] RadGridView Header Color On Filter

[Ricky]

I am trying to achieve RadGridView Headers to be red on filtering (I have accomplished this successfully in the code-behind). Unfortunately, the red foreground color doesn't apply when the column is sorted, and I am at a lost as to how to accomplish this with the code-behind.

Is there a better way to change the RadGridView Header foreground color that applies to filtered headers for both unsorted and sorted columns?

Hello Vanya,

Thank you very much for your reply!

I am currently using the approach described on the bottom of that forum post you linked. While all of these solutions allow for the column header's color to change based on filtering, the color returns to its default upon sorting a filtered column.

To be clear: The column header color turns red when filtered. If a column is filtered then sorted, the color of the column header returns to the default color (as if it was never filtered). This effect is undesirable due to possible confusion to users.

How can I change the column header's foreground color to red when it is filtered & sorted?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ricky,

 

A possible approach in this case is to alter the appearance of GridViewHeaderCell's template within its corresponding states related to the sorting-Ascending/Descending/Normal. You have to apply the same style in code-behind when you perform filtering. You may read more about this in our online documentation, please follow this link.
