BGColor of Textbox in ItemTemplate of DataGrid

[wallaceoc80]

I have a DataGrid that uses Textboxes to display data from a database. The reason I use textboxes is because the contents are long file names without spaces that cause problems for my column widths.

I have set up the DataGrid to have a different background color for alternating rows. To try and make my TextBoxes fit in I have set the background color of them to the the color of the DataGrid.

However, this means that the TextBoxes only have the correct background color every second row. Is there any way that I can set it up so that the background color of the Textboxes also alternat every second row?

Thanks for the help,

Wallace

Wallace: not sure how background color of textbox is inteferring with alternating grid colors which are set on the Itembound event -- and 'fitting' -- provide a bit of code on this and we'll take a look (in the meanwhile, someone may right away recognize what is going on).

It isn't interfering. I have set the DataGrid to a style that has alternating background colour every line. Each line contains a textbox and what I want is for the textbox to have the same background colour as the DataGrid. This means that I need the Textbox's backgournd colour to alternate every line.

try adding

style="background-color: transparent;"

to every textbox that you add.
