Extra (unwanted) first column

[PAULO SERGIO CARNEIRO]

Hi everybody!

I have one RadGrid using a DataTable as DataSource.
Everything works fine, except by the fact there is as extra empty column right in the first place in the grid.

Can someone tell me how could I remove this "ghost" column?

Thanks...

Hello Paulo,

The extra empty column that appears before the set columns is the RowIndicatorColumn which will appear if resizing of rows is enabled in the grid. You can hide it as shown below:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("RowIndicator").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(1);
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("RowIndicator").ItemStyle.Font.Size = FontUnit.Point(1);
    }

Hope this helps..
Princy.

Thanks a lot!

It did help !!

Actually I didn't need the Row Resizing, so I removed it and the grid looks fine now!

Be well !!

Hello Princy
Your solution works but when I save the grid settings by GridSettingsPersister, that hidden column appears again. However revisiting the page hides that column because of the statements in pre-render.

I'm facing one more issue Princy. In one of my page I have a TemplateColumn (first column) with a hyperlink that opens a custom edit form. It actually hides when I revisit the page after saving the grid settings by GridSettingsPersister. It does not happen with other pages which use the built in GridEditCommandColumn...

Please help.

Hello Kamal,

I already answered your other forum thread so I would suggest you to continue our conversation there and close this one.
