Hi,

You can check our online documentation on how to use a CellStyleSelector here. The "Style Selectors -> Cells" WPF demo would also be helpful for you.

Hi,

 I have taken a look at the documentation and the demos (Silverlight) but in all cases your CellStyleSelector is based on a business object with a specific property in the column to which the style needs to be applied. In my case my business object as an array of values which I want to display using the same CellStyleSelector. I build the columns in the code behind. So to use your method my CellStyleSelector must be aware of the specific column in question. Any pointers?

 

Regards

Renier

Hi Renier,

You can find the column associated with the cell passed as the container argument. The code to access it would be similar to this one:
GridViewCell cell = container as GridViewCell;
var currentColumn = cell.Column as GridViewDataColumn;

My suggestion is to work with the bound data item and CellStyleSelection and not with the visual elements directly. As RadGridView is a virtualized control, its elements are reused as they are brought in and out the view area. You can also check our online documentation explaining how the UI virtualization works.

I found an easier approach using a single ValueConverter (not aware of the DataContext)

I think this is usually better than the heavy StyleSelector approach, you can also reuse the ValueConverter for different columns more easily.

 

Set the GridColumns CellStyle to

<Style x:Key="IsSentCellStyle" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}">
        <Style.Setters>
            <Setter Property="Background"
                    Value="{Binding IsSent, Converter={controls:FalseToRedBrushConverter}}"/>
        </Style.Setters>
    </Style>
