I have tried this method.. without luck..
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Is there a way to get the row Index?
I have even tried
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding AlternationIndex}" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
Unless already done, you have to set the AlternationCount property of DataGrid:
<DataGrid AlternationCount="2"
... />
You should additionally check whether the Foreground property is used for any Control in the DataGridRow. Try setting the Background property to test the alternation stuff.
Finally, this is what I ended up with for generically setting alternate row colors.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGrid}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FFF" />
<Setter Property="AlternationCount" Value="2" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#CCC"></Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="1">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#EEE"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Try setting the alternating background like this:
AlternationCount="2" AlternatingRowBackground="Bisque"
Try this
<DataGrid AlternationCount="2"
AlternatingRowBackground="Salmon" ........
Finally I used combination of Robin Maben and Th3G33k solution, because I want the alternation colour to override with my own, when some condition is met.
Thanks both.
<DataGrid x:Name="gridCustomerOrderItems" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
AlternationCount="2"
IsReadOnly="True" CanUserReorderColumns="True"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<DataGrid.RowStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridRow">
<Style.Triggers>
<!--first alteraniting colour-->
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="1">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#EEE"></Setter>
</Trigger>
<!--then override with my own colour-->
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding InvoiceSet}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"></Setter>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</DataGrid.RowStyle>
