[Solved] Setting background color on summary tasks

[Anne Lyon]

I need to be able to set the background color for summary tasks in my Gantt Diagram. The below code sets the color on the child-tasks fine, see attached screenshot, but how do I change the color for the summary tasks (green ones)?
,

<telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:EventContainer">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow" />
    </Style>
</telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>

Hi Anne Lyon,

In order to change the background color of the summary tasks you have to change the SummaryContainer style.

<Style TargetType="telerik:SummaryContainer">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</Style>

You can find more information on styling and templating the RadGanttView in this article.

Hopefully this helps. Feel free to contact us in case you have any problems or concerns.

Thanks,

That changed the color of the bar of summary bars, but the "start-end tags" on the bars are now strangely enough orange. See the attached screenshot.

Actually, if I add the tag : <Style TargetType="telerik:SummaryContainer"> without setting any properties, all the summary bars change color to orange.

How can I set the background color for the whole summary bar including the triangle tags?

Found the answer myself, If I let the SummaryContainer inherit from the SummaryContainerStyle then I get the expected result:

<telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:SummaryContainer" BasedOn="{StaticResource SummaryContainerStyle}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="HotPink" />
    </Style>
</telerik:RadGanttView.Resources>
