Change color of selected row in gridview

[DaveT]

Hello All,

Currently I am using a rad gridview and the themeName of the gridview is Control Default. When the user selects a row, it turns into orange color.

May I ask how do I change the color of the selected row to green? I have tried exploring the options when I click on "Edit UI Elements" of the gridview but I do not seem to find an option that allows me to do this.

Could anyone please advise me?

Thank you.

Hello DaveT,

You can change the visual appearance of the current row in two ways. You can use Visual Style Builder tool to customize the style of the current row. You can read more about the tool in this documentation article. Also you can subscribe for RowFormatting event, where you can change the desired row's properties. You can use the following code snippet as sample:

void radGridView_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.RowElement.RowInfo.IsCurrent)
    {
        e.RowElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
        e.RowElement.BackColor = Color.Green;
    }
    else
    {
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.RowElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

You can read more about row formatting in this documentation article.

All the best,
