[Solved] Selected Item Brush for Filter ComboBox

[David]

I would like the name of the brushes associated with the filter combo boxes. Specifically those for the selected item backgrounds.

Thanks.

Hello David,

Thank you for using RadControls for Windows 8!

There are two ways to style the ComboBox in the Filtering Flyout:

1. You can explicitly define a custom style in the resources of the RadDataGrid. I have attached a sample application that uses the default style of that element - you can paste it in your code and customize it with your own brushes. Note that you have to add an instance of the PaletteInitializer class to your page resources before you can use the predefined Telerik brushes.

2. You can globally change the style of all ComboBoxes in your application by defining custom resource in the App.xaml file, for example:

   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxItemPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Green"/>

   In the attached project you can see the names of the brushes that style the ComboBox (e.g. the selection brush is TelerikSelectedBrush).

I hope this helps. Let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Thank you very much. With the zip file you attached, I was able to find the answer.

In case anyone needs to know, the brush is this:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikSelectedBrush" Color="{StaticResource MyColor}"/>
