[Solved] Theme not been applied for RadGridView

[Rohit]

Hello,

We have set the application level theme by using the following statement

StyleManager

 

.ApplicationTheme = ThemeManager.FromName("Summer");

Now we want to change the theme for RadGridView on one usercontrol to office_black, please suggest how can we override the application level theme just for one control.
We have tried to use StyleManager.SetTheme(radGridView1, new Office_BlackTheme()) but could not succeed.

Another question is how can we change the background color of header row of RadGridView control.

Regards
Rohit Shrivastava

Hello Rohit,

To change the theme of a RadGridView in Silverlight you will need to do the following:

1. Add reference to the theme DLL file:
   Telerik.Windows.Themes.Office_Black.dll
2. Register the following namespaces:
   xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls" 
   xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView" 
3. Set the theme:
   <telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="RadGridView1" telerik:Theming.Theme="Office_Black"/>

I hope this will work for you.

Proposed solution does not work if StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = ThemeManager.FromName("Summer"); is set application wide. I mean to say if we set the ApplicationTheme then I am not able to apply office black on rad grid in my application.

Hi Rohit,

I did a small investigation on my end, and I found out this is a bug in the control. There is a built-in optimization that incorrectly prevents the default theme from applying (Office_Black is the default theme).

We will get this fixed for our service pack that will go live later this week. Thanks for the report! I have updated your Telerik points.

All the best,
