selected gridviewrow style does not override the default styling behaviour

[anurag]

Hi,
 I am trying to override the default selected style for radgridview but it still show me up with the dark orange style selection of the radgridview.

<Window x:Class="HightLighted.MainWindow"

        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">

    <Grid>

        <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding}" Background="Red" Foreground="White" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="24,36,0,0" Name="radGridView1" VerticalAlignment="Top">

            <telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

                <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewRow}">

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

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

                    <Style.Triggers>

                        <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">

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

                            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="black"/>

                        </Trigger>

                        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">

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

                            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="black"/>

                        </Trigger>

                    </Style.Triggers>

                </Style>

            </telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="EmployeeID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding EmployeeID}"/>

            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

        </telerik:RadGridView>

    </Grid>

</Window>

Hello Anurag,


In order to change the behavior of a selected GridViewRow is to edit its template. With a simple style you can override basic properties that a GridViewRow exposes, but not to change its infrastructure. Briefly if you want to change the color of a GridViewRow when it is Selected in its template you should find the Border element named Background_Selected and change the color. In similar way you can change the colors in any other state, in our online documentation you can find a very useful information about Styling a Row.


Attached is an example that demonstrates this approach.
