Styles support for DataGridColumns

Currently, Datagrid Columns do not have a Style property. This makes setting the style for multiple data grid columns cumbersome since the styles must be set on each column. If DataGridColumn could extend NavigableElement or have a bindable style property then the following XAML could be used to set the column styles on an entire table.

<Style TargetType="telerikGrid:DataGridColumn">
        <Setter Property="HeaderStyle">
            <telerikGrid:DataGridColumnHeaderStyle TextFontSize="11" TextFontAttributes="Bold" BorderThickness="1" BorderColor="LightGray"/>
        </Setter>
        <Setter Property="CellContentStyle">
            <telerikGrid:DataGridTextCellStyle FontSize="10"/>
        </Setter>
 </Style>

Hi Chris,

Thank you for sending the suggestion.

We discussed it and the option to extend NavigableElement wouldn't be applicable for DataGrid columns - in short, NavigableElement contains other properties/methods that are not suitable for column object.

On the other hand, I agree that providing a way to set the styles to the DataGrid columns at one place would be a valuable feature, so I've updated the status of the feedback request to "Unplanned". We're going to keep an eye on the request and will track the demand.

I've updated your points for your involvement.

I remain at your disposal for any additional questions that might pop up.

Regards,
Yana
