Formatting Group Footer Text

[Peterson Mwangi]

Hi fellow coders,

Am using the radGrid to display grouped data. I also have aggregated data for the group (sum) on some columns. I would want to format the totals at the group footer to my own liking, e.g. make font bold, use different background color, etc. How do I go about formatting the group footer text?

Please see attached image for some visual explanation.

Thanks.

Have you tried setting the FooterStyle setting of your RadGrid? I assume that would take care of your formatting needs.

I hope that helps.

Hi Cori,

Thanks for your response. I have tried this:

<FooterStyle Font-Bold="true" />

but it doesn't seem to work.

I am having the same problem.  The FooterStyle directives only seem to have an effect on the overall grid footer, not the group footers. 

Is there any way to style the group footer?  I have tried it declaratively and programatically, to no avail (yet).

Hello,

Try the following code snippet to make the font bold in GroupFooter.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
      if (e.Item is GridGroupFooterItem)
       {
           GridGroupFooterItem groupFooter = (GridGroupFooterItem)e.Item;
           groupFooter.Style.Add("font-weight", "bold");
       }
  }

Thanks,
Princy.
