set color of entire row with column value as parameter

[NS]

Hi,

How can i set the background of a row to a color based on the value of one of its columns?

I have written a convert that changes the statusid to a brush but i don't know how to apply it to the row

I tried this but that didn't work

<Grid.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type Telerik:GridViewRow}">
                <Setter Property="Background">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding Path=StatusId, Converter={StaticResource ConvertDocumentColor}}"></SolidColorBrush>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </Grid.Resources>

Regards,

Bram

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for trying our product !

I believe that the following syntax should work for your case: 

<Grid.Resources>

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

<Setter Property="Background">

<Setter.Value>

<SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding Path=Data.StatusId, Converter={StaticResource ConvertDocumentColor}}"></SolidColorBrush>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

</Grid.Resources>  The single thing added is the  "Data."  before "StatusID". Adding "Data" to the binding path gives you access to the actual datarow. You may alternatively use the Data[X] syntax, where X is the index of the column.

Ok it handles my convert but i doesn't set the color to what is returned.

What does the background expect?

My converter

 public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {

            Brush returnValue;
            string controlType = "";
            if (value != null)
                controlType = value.ToString();

            switch (controlType)
            {
                case "E":
                    returnValue = Brushes.Red;
                    break;
                case "D":
                    returnValue = Brushes.Green;
                    break;
                default:
                    returnValue = Brushes.White;
                    break;

            }

            return returnValue;
        }

Problem solved

I had to use system.windows.media.brush instead of system.drawing.brush
