Style changes in Sharepoint web part

[Matthew]

Greetings,

I'm using the RadGrid control as part of a Sharepoint web part. I need to be able to change the font and color fopr some items. I can't seem to grasp the concept of overriding any css styles. As an example I need to change the HeaderStyle font to "Trebuchet MS" but can't seem to figure that part out. I also need to change the alternating itemstyle backcolor to "#f6f6f6", but I only get actual color names in the intellisense. So I'm assuming that I need to override that somehow.

The web part is built programatically.

If anyone can help me that'd be great.

Thanks,

-Matt

Hello Matthew,

You can set programmatically a Trebuchet MS font family to RadGrid headers like this:

C#

RadGrid1.HeaderStyle.Font.Name = "Trebuchet MS";


As for the background color, the BackColor property does not accept HEX colors at runtime, but you can use

C#

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AlternatingItemStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#f6f6f6");


or supply the decimal equivalent of F6F6F6:

C#

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AlternatingItemStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(246, 246, 246);


In my opinion, the way is to use a CSS class:

C#

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AlternatingItemStyle.CssClass = "MyAltClass"

CSS

.MyAltClass
{
      background: #f6f6f6;
}
