DataGrid::CellStyle Property
Gets or sets the style applied to all cells in the DataGrid.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
<object> <object.CellStyle> <Style .../> </object.CellStyle> </object>
Property Value
Type: System.Windows::StyleThe style applied to the cells in the DataGrid. The registered default is nullptr. For more information about what can influence the value, see DependencyProperty.
Apply a Style to update the visual appearance of all the cells in the DataGrid. To define a Style for a cell, specify a TargetType of DataGridCell.
A Style can be applied to a cell at the table, column, or cell level. To apply a Style to all cells in a column, set the DataGridColumn::CellStyle property. This will take precedence over the DataGrid::CellStyle property. To apply a Style to an individual cell, set the Style property directly on the DataGridCell. This will take precedence over all other styles applied to the cell.
The following example uses a trigger to change the Background color of a DataGridCell when the cell is selected.
<DataGrid Name="DG1" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionUnit="Cell" > <DataGrid.CellStyle> <Style TargetType="DataGridCell" > <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="SeaGreen"/> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </DataGrid.CellStyle> </DataGrid>
The following illustration shows the output.

Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
