RadGridView RowStyle is not working

[Ivan Kopcanski]

Hi,

    I have inherited RadGridView control with applied row style:

<telerik:RadGridView  

   xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

    x:Class="DCMS.FrontEnd.SL.CustomControls.RadGrid" ...>

    

    

    FontFamily="Arial Unicode MS"

    Style="{StaticResource ListScreenGridViewData}"

    RowStyle="{StaticResource ListScreenGridViewRow2}"

    HeaderRowStyle="{StaticResource GridViewHeaderRowStyle}"

    AutoGenerateColumns="False" 

    SelectionMode="Extended" 

    Sorting="gvData_Sorting" ShowGroupPanel="False" 

    SelectionChanged="gvData_SelectionChanged" 

    CellValidating="gvData_CellValidating"

    CellEditEnded="gvData_CellEditEnded"> ...</telerik:RadGridView>

------------------------------ The following style is in the merged dictionary ----------------------------------

 <Style x:Key="ListScreenGridViewRow2" TargetType="gridNamespace:GridViewRow">

        <Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>

        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>

        <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="24"/>

        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="11"/>

        <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>

        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>

        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>

        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF000000"/>

    </Style>

Working this way the row style is applied correctly. But when I put this control in the UserControl:

<UserControl 

    xmlns:custom="clr-namespace:DCMS.FrontEnd.SL.CustomControls"  

    x:Class=".DCMS.FrontEnd.SL.CustomControls.Grid" ...>

    <StackPanel x:Name="spData" 

                Orientation="Vertical" SizeChanged="spData_SizeChanged">

        <custom:RadGrid   

                                    Style="{StaticResource ListScreenGridViewData}"

                                    RowStyle="{StaticResource ListScreenGridViewRow2}"

                                    HeaderRowStyle="{StaticResource GridViewHeaderRowStyle}"

                                    Grid.Column="0"

                                    Grid.Row="0"

                                    x:Name="gvData"

                                    FontFamily="Arial Unicode MS"

                                    AutoGenerateColumns="False"

                                    Sorting="gvData_Sorting"

                                    ShowGroupPanel="False"

                                    SelectionChanged="gvData_SelectionChanged" />

...

</UserControl>

I can't make the inherited RadGridView in user control to use referenced RowStyle when I use it in UserControl.

Can you please point out the mistake I'm making, if you see something that I don't?

Your row style would have to be defined in either the Resources section of the UserControl, or in a ResourceDictionary in order for your RadGridView to be able to reference it:

Try adding this before your StackPanel:

    <UserControl.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="ListScreenGridViewRow2" TargetType="gridNamespace:GridViewRow">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
            <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="24"/>
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="11"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
            <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF000000"/>
        </Style>
    </UserControl.Resources>

You're actually better off puting it in a ResourceDictionary though, so that you can apply it to RadGridViews that are in UserControls across your app.

Hi,

The problem is resolved, the merged dictionary was not visible.
