Styling DataFormDataField

The DataFormDataField is the base class for the elements that represent the fields in a RadDataForm. Other types of fields are: DataFormComboBoxField, DataFormCheckBoxField and DataFormDateField.

Styling the fields

In order to style the fields in a RadDataForm, you can create a style targeting DataFormDataField and set it to the DataFieldStyle property of the RadDataForm.

Example 1: Creating a style targeting DataFormDataField

XAML

	<Window.Resources>
        <!-- If you are using the NoXaml binaries, you should base the style on the default one like so:-->
        <!--<Style x:Key="DataFormDataFieldStyle" TargetType="telerik:DataFormDataField" BasedOn="{StaticResource DataFormDataFieldStyle}">-->

        <Style x:Key="DataFormDataFieldStyle" TargetType="telerik:DataFormDataField">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
        </Style>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadDataForm AutoGenerateFields="True" DataFieldStyle="{StaticResource DataFormDataFieldStyle}" />
    </Grid>
