[Solved] RadTreeViewItem Foreground property is changing all children also

[Happy]

I'm dynamically creating my tree nodes at the client. I create a RadTreeViewItem and add it to the tree. As I traverse my structure, adding the items, if any item represents overridden data, I'm trying to draw those items of the hierarchy in a different color to help users find those tree nodes that have overridden data.

Whenever I set the foreground property of a treeviewitem to my new color, all it's children all the way down it's hierarchy are also changed to the same color. I only want to change the color of that specific treeviewitem. I'm walking the hierarchy up from there and also changing all the parent's to the new color.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello Happy,

This is correct behavior - the parent treeview item is containing its child items that is why its size is so big.

What you can do is to set white background to the child items which will overlay the background set from its parent item.

I'm setting the foreground property, NOT the background.

Hello Happy,

Sorry - my bad!

The Foreground property is inheritable - if you set it on a parent element it propagates into its children. that is why it happens in the treeview also. You just need to set each node Foreground color in this case.
