Grid Settings Enhancements for Visual and Interaction Control

Please consider adding new grid-level properties to control visual styling and editing behavior more intuitively:

 

  • HeaderThemeColor
  • ShowGridLines
  • EditModeDisplay (e.g., None, ValueOnly, All, Auto)

These options would provide teams with greater flexibility to align grids with branding, accessibility, and user interaction standards.

Why This Is Valuable

Grids are the centerpiece of most enterprise applications — and users rely on visual consistency and responsive interaction. Today’s grids need to:

 

  • Match branding and accessibility guidelines (dark/light, color accessibility).
  • Visually separate data (e.g., grid lines on for financial reports, off for dashboards).
  • Clearly communicate edit state (inline, batch, or value-only editing).

These settings would empower developers to deliver purpose-built grids without deep CSS overrides or workarounds.

Hello Ken,

We evaluated this feature request and here is our stance:

  • HeaderThemeColor functionality can be implemented through the column HeaderClass parameter.
  • ShowGridLines can be implemented through the Grid Class parameter.
  • EditModeDisplay seems to imply the Grid explaining to the user what the current edit mode is. Communicating UX tips or requirements should be the task of the application. The Grid component doesn't have a suitable predefined place to convey such information, so it depends on your preferences.

Here is an example for the first two bullets:  https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/cJOolPOC20V0ZyJe26

Overall, we tend to refrain from adding parameters that are related to purely visual customizations, except in components that inherently have a need for those (such as the Button's ThemeColor, because buttons may have very different purposes). Instead, developers should use customized themes or templates.

Regards,
Dimo
