    Hi,
    I am new in Telerik Rad controls. I want to apply Metro theme to all my Rad and non-Rad controls. I found some examples for applying theme to Rad controls and those worked for me. How can I apply theme to non-Rad controls especially Datagrid. I know you support some standard controls like Textbox where in I can explicitly apply the themes. However, i'm concerned for Datagrid.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

     We have themes however only for simple controls - not for DataGrid. You can use RadGridView instead.

    Thanks for the response.
    Datagrid is one of the controls, there are many other OOB which I'm struggling with where Telerik doesn't have any alternate.
    Can you please guide me or provide me with some example so that I can apply Metro theme to non-Rad controls?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Sameer,

     

    Telerik themes can be applied to the following native Silverlight controls:


    1.System.Windows.Button
    2.System.Windows.CheckBox
    3.System.Windows.ListBox
    4.System.Windows.RadioButton
    5.System.Windows.ScrollViewer
    6.System.Windows.PasswordBox
    7.System.Windows.RepeatButton
    8.System.Windows.TextBox


    Since you have a reference to Metro theme in your project you may apply it using the following syntax:


    <Button Content="Button" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro"................./>

    Thanks for the clarification.

    What if I want to apply Metro theme to other non-Rad controls not mentioned in your list above e.g. Auto-Complete Textbox?

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Sameer,

     

    Telerik themes are designed to work mainly with RadControls/Silverlight. They can be applied to a limited set of native Silverlight controls, which are internally used by our controls. We could not have theme support for the full list of native controls and we do not provide such support for AutoCompleteTextBox.

    Ah!
    So can the Metro theme be re-factored and I can use its' styles, brushes & templates and apply them to my controls?

    Thanks you for all your help.
