Styling Indent Cells

RadGridView exposes different indent cells and indicator presenters depending on its current state - being grouped, in a hierarchy, or displaying the corresponding footers. Figure 1 outlines the visual structure of those elements for a grouped RadGridView with the ShowColumnFooters and ShowGroupFooters properties set to True.

Indent Cells

RadGridView exposes four different indent cell types:

• GridViewIndentCell: It is part of the GridViewRow.

• GridViewHeaderIndentCell: It is part of the GridViewHeaderRow.

• GridViewFooterIndentCell: It is part of the GridViewFooterRow.

• GridViewGroupFooterIndentCell: It is part of the GridViewGroupFooterRow.

Similarly to other RadGridView elements, you may alter their appearance by modifying their default styles or by directly editing their control templates. Example 1 demonstrates how to create styles that target those elements.

XAML

	<Application.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewIndentCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
        </Style>

        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewHeaderIndentCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue" />
        </Style>
        
        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewFooterIndentCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
        </Style>

        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewGroupFooterIndentCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow" />
        </Style>
    </Application.Resources>

Indicator Presenters

RadGridView exposes five indicator presenters, each of them belonging to the corresponding row:

• GridViewRow

• GridViewHeaderRow

• GridViewGroupRow

• GridViewGroupFooterRow

• GridViewFooterRow

You may customize each of them by editing the control template of the respective row and modifying the Border element named PART_IndicatorPresenter.
