Your reply didn't answer the exact question, which is how to change the cellcontrol foreground color. The foreground color property is not exposed in the cell control content presenter.

Hello,

Here is an example of retemplating the CellControl with Foreground style:

Style

<Style x:Key="cellStyle" TargetType="ig:CellControl">

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

</Style>

Column

<ig:XamGrid.Columns>

    <ig:TextColumn Key="ProductID" AllowToolTips="Always" CellStyle="{StaticResource cellStyle}"/>

...

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Sam

I had the same problem and abandoned setting the CellStyle of the active row, as was previously suggested in other postings. There were some strange side effects, such as the Alternate Row  background color getting lost until you mouse over it. What I did was set the following xaml on the grid

                <igGrid:XamGrid.SelectionSettings>

                   <igGrid:SelectionSettings  RowSelection="Single" CellClickAction="SelectRow" CellSelection="None"/>

                </igGrid:XamGrid.SelectionSettings>

Then, I overrode the CellControl style with the following.

  <Style TargetType="ig:CellControl">

        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="11" />

        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />

        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CellItemNormalBackgroundBrush}"/>

        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource CellItemNormalBorderBrush}"/>

        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,1,0"/>

        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>

        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="5"/>

        <Setter Property="Template">

            <Setter.Value>

                <ControlTemplate TargetType="ig:CellControl">

                    <Grid>

                        <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

                            <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">

                                <VisualState x:Name="Normal" />

                                <VisualState x:Name="MouseOver">

                                </VisualState>

                        <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" x:Name="Root"/>

                        <ContentPresenter   VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/>

                    </Grid>

                </ControlTemplate>

            </Setter.Value>

        </Setter>

    </Style>

Hope this helps someone, I certainly toiled at this for long enough.
