[Solved] Row selected foreground color

[Clint Singer]

Hi,

I am working on making the RadGridView fairly dark (ie. near black) which means I need to set the cell foreground (for the text) to a lighter color (near white).  I also want to continue using the "Gold" row selection color (I am using full row selection).  Unfortunately the light colored text doesn't show up well over the gold selected background color. 

Is there someway that I can change the color for the foreground text?  From what I can tell the foreground text was designed to be a static color.  I am even willing to update the text color in the code behind on the mouse enter event for the row.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi Clint Singer,

There are two ways you can go about and do the desired effect.
One is to wrap the template of the row in a ContentControl, give it a name and change the foreground property in the Selected / MouseOver visual states.
The other way is to do it in code with no template editing required, though it is slower and there is no way of handling the MouseOver state which I believe is a no go for you.

I have also attached a sample illustrating both ways (the code behind is commented) and I leave the final decision to you, though I recommend using the first approach.

I hope you will find the sample useful.

Kind regards,
