ok, application wide i have set windows 7 as the theme. is it true that the windows 7 theme on the radgridview has the cell background white with the foreground white as well? Say it aint true and I have messed up.....

I have had no luck getting the foreground of the cell to any color but white. I found the below information and it still did not help:

 

 

 

<StackPanel.Resources>

 

 

 

 

  <Style x:Key="GridViewCellStyle"

 

 

 

    TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">

 

 

 

 

    <Setter Property="Foreground"

 

 

 

      Value="DarkSlateGray" />

 

 

 

 

  </Style>

 

 

 

 

</StackPanel.Resources>

 


adn then on the dataloaded event:

 

 

private void rgvEngines_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

 

{

 

 

 

  foreach (var col in rgvEngines.Columns)

 

 

  {

 

    col.CellStyle = (

 

Style)this.Resources["GridViewCellStyle"];

 

 

  }

}


The code is being executed.

Any help?

Hi Richard,

 
Generally in case you need to create this style based on a theme, you need to follow the sample below which is Windows7 specific for GridViewCell:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <Grid.Resources>
            <Style x:Key="GridViewCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" telerik:StyleManager.BasedOn="Windows7">
                <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
            </Style>
        </Grid.Resources>
        <telerik:RadGridView   telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" x:Name="radGridView" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Header="First Name"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Header="Last Name"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Age}" Header="Age"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Married}" Header="Is Married"/>
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>
    </Grid>


We may only suggest what is going on in your project. What are you trying to achieve? The default foreground in Windows7 theme is not white colored, so it could be great if you can throw some light upon this case.
Once you share a little bit more info about the desired final result we may provide you with an appropriate solution.

I set the theme in mainpage.xaml.cs:

public MainPage()
{

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Windows7Theme();
InitializeComponent();
this.loginContainer.Child = new LoginStatus();
WebContext.Current.Authentication.LoggedOut += new System.EventHandler<AuthenticationEventArgs>(UserLoggedOut);
WebContext.Current.Authentication.LoggedIn += new System.EventHandler<AuthenticationEventArgs>(UserLoggedIn);
}

no other erference to foreground or a theme.

Hello,

 
Unfortunately we may only guess what might be causing this white-colored Foreground. Can you please send us in a new support ticket a runnable project where we can see what is happening? Thus we would be able to provide you with an approrpiate solution.
