Background Foreground when editing a cell
posted

I want to set custom foreground and background when editing a cell. Right now have a value that sets the background and foreground through a value converter to different values depending on the value of a specific field. In particular I have a special color combination for when the default value is being used. Unfortunately the colors are not easy to see when changing this value, and do not update to the non-default valued until the cell value is changed.

    Hello,

     

    Thank you for your post. The easiest way to change the background and foreground of the cell when it is in edit mode is to define styles for its editor like e.g. :

     

    <Style TargetType="Editors:XamTextEditor">

                <Style.Triggers>

                    <Trigger Property="IsInEditMode" Value="True">

                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow"/>

                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>

                    </Trigger>

                </Style.Triggers>

            </Style>

     

            <Style TargetType="Editors:XamCurrencyEditor">

                <Style.Triggers>

                    <Trigger Property="IsInEditMode" Value="True">

                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>

                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue"/>

                    </Trigger>

                </Style.Triggers>

            </Style>

     

            <Style TargetType="Editors:XamNumericEditor">

                <Style.Triggers>

                    <Trigger Property="IsInEditMode" Value="True">

                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>

                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>

                    </Trigger>

                </Style.Triggers>

            </Style>
