Styling a RadGridView row not possible using Expression Blend

[Mark]

I'm trying to tweak the style of the new Expression Dark skin and I'm following the tutorials about how to do this using expression blend. However the tutorial instructs that I should do the following:

Object -> Edit Additional Styles -> RowStyle -> Edit A Copy

However, when I attempt this the Edit A Copy option is greyed out and unselectable. Does any one have any idea why this is, or how to get around it?

Hi Mark,

it seems this is/was an issue with Expression Blend 4: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/blend-exe-spins-indefinetely-on-quot-edit-a-copy-quot.aspx#1481192

Maybe this helps you,

Hi Mark,

 
We do have some small issues related to the Blend support for RadGridView/WPF. I will recommend you to use the following approach:

1.Find in Assets library a single GridViewRow.
2.Drag it onto the Artboard, right click on it and choose the option Edit Template -> Edit a copy.

You may use the same approach for any other GridView part.

Thanks for your replies. Using the assets library does help, but the way I ended up doing it was to copy the theme files from the Telerik installation folder into my project as resource dictionaries and was then able to change everything I needed.

Once again, thanks for your help!
