Unfocused selected cell background color

[Piotr]

Hi, 
how can I change background color of cell that is selected and unfocused? It is too bright.
Thanks

Hi Piotr,


Thank you for contacting us.

GridViewCell does not expose SelectedUnfocused state. 

Are you referring to the SelectedUnfocused state of GridViewRow?

My problem is as follows:
I am selecting few rows on grid view, then I'm changing some other controls (so the focus is lost), and the background of selected rows is too bright almost distinguishable. 
When I change color of row (by trigger on focus) then a small "border" color is changed, and background color of cell is changed but only a little bit (attachment). The background color of cell is the thing I would like to change.

Maybe there is something like InactiveSelectionHighlightBrushKey in static resources that I could override? There was something like this while using microsoft wpf controls.

Hi Piotr,


Thank you for getting back to us. 

The defined Blue Background appears in this way, because the element that hosts the selected unfocused state is over it. Actually this Blue Border is the Background of the row, not of the cell.  
You may reset the selected unfocused state by setting EnableLostFocusSelectedState property of RadGridView to False. 

If you want to keep it and modify its colors, you may alter the entire control template of GridViewRow and change the resources used in this state:

<VisualState x:Name="SelectedUnfocused">
                          <Storyboard>
                              <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration="0" Storyboard.TargetName="Background_Over"
                                      Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Visibility)">
                                  <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
                                      <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                                          <Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
                                      </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
                                  </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
                              </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                              <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Background_Over"
                                      Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush">
                                  <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0"
                                          Value="{StaticResource ItemOuterBorder_SelectedUnfocused}" />
                              </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                              <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundInner_Over"
                                      Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background">
                                  <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0"
                                          Value="{StaticResource ItemBackground_SelectedUnfocused}" />
                              </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                              <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundInner_Over"
                                      Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush">
                                  <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0"
                                          Value="{StaticResource ItemInnerBorder_SelectedUnfocused}" />
                              </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
                          </Storyboard>
                      </VisualState>
