StyleManage.SetTheme and MS DataGrid

[Ben Hayat]

This post is also related to StyleManager. When I set the StyleManager.SetTheme against MS DataGrid, nothing happens. Would it be possible to make the Grid Theme, more along the theme of Telerik?

Thanks!

Hello Ben,

We currently support only built-in controls (like button, checkbox, radio button) by our theming mechanism. We did not have any plans to support toolkit controls. However if you are willing to style the MS DataGrid with our themes we will be glad to reward you with some telerik points.

Stefan, if I decide to restyle MS DataGrid, I'll get in touch with you. I might just switch over to Telerik GridView!. Thank you for the reply!

Hi Ben,

Just small clarification - our theming mechanism support all type of controls. It is that we have styles only for the simple controls (like Button, CheckBox, etc..).
I'm sure that you will switch to RadGridView once Q3 is released :)

Thanks Hristo;

Using MS DataGrid is a short term solution and I am planning to change them all to Telerik Grid as of Q3.
