How can I show GridView title (caption)?

[Oleksandr Vashchenko]

In fact the question is in the thread name. :) I couldn't find any information about how to do it. The only thing I found is that Grid Caption Text is not what I'm looking for.

Hello Oleksandr Vashchenko,

Could you please share with us your idea of a RadGridView caption? Generally, RadGridView does not have a Caption property and if you need to have a text field over RadGridView, you can achieve this by locating a RadLabel on top of the grid.

If there was a caption, then I could adjust gridview position more easily - because there would be no need to adjust label position. Finally, it's logical - grid's title is property of the grid.

Hi,

I live in Mexico and my English is not very good.

I am trying several tools to see which implements in software development. As i can put a title to each child grid, as shown in the attached.

Thank you.

Hello Adolfo,

Presently, this is not possible with out tool, so we will consider it as feature request.

Hi all,

Can any one help me to add a caption/title for RadGridView.?

[Svett]

Hi Abin,

You can simply position a RadLabel near by the top edge of the grid control, which you can use as a caption of your RadGridView instance. You can vote for the feature request here.

All the best,

Was this feature ever added? The link to the feature request is no longer valid, and I can't find a Caption property on the RadGridView, so I'm guessing not. But It would really be nice to have! For instance, when exporting the grid to PDF, the caption would be part of the grid instead of having to manually generate it.

Hi Jon,

This is still not implemented. Please note that it can be easily implemented with a group box hosting the grid, or a panel and a label.

The request was transferred to our Feedback Portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your comment to it here:  ADD. RadGridView - add caption.

I hope this will be useful.

I find the need for this as I'm using RadSplitContainer and docking the GridView.  When I do this, I cannot utilize a label.

I would think this would be standard...is there any chance we can get this?

[Dimitar]

Hello Steven,

This feature is still not implemented. For your case you can use the following approach as a workaround:

var label = new RadLabelElement();
label.Text = "Grid Title";
label.StretchVertically = false;
label.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;
radGridView1.GridViewElement.Children.Add(label);
radGridView1.GridViewElement.Children[0].Margin = new Padding(0, 20, 0, 0);

I hope this will be useful.

Hi Dimitar,

Thank you for the fast reply!!! Unfortunalty this did not work and wondering if it's something to do with VB or that I have a grouping pane?  Below is the code I used, I put it in the form load event for now.

            Dim label As New RadLabelElement With {
                .Text = "AR Cash Receipts",
                .StretchVertically = False,
                .Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft
            }
            RgvARCashReceipts.GridViewElement.Children.Add(label)
            RgvARCashReceipts.GridViewElement.Children(0).Margin = New Padding(0, 20, 0, 0)

Hello Steven,

I am not sure why this is not working in your case, consider posting a ticket where you can attach the project. I have attached a VB test project that shows this as well. 

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Hi Dimitar,

I removed RadGroup (Parent Container of the GridView) which I was using for the caption and now it works.  Thank you!

[Dimitar]

Hi Steven,

I am glad that this works well now. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

I used the follwing as suggested by you the WPF application

 var label = new RadLabelElement();
            label.Text = "Grid Title";
            label.StretchVertically = false;
            label.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;
            this.ItemsGrid.GridViewElement.Children.Add(label);
            this.ItemsGrid.GridViewElement.Children[0].Margin = new Padding(0, 20, 0, 0);

But I guess this is only for WinForms. Can you tell me how this can be achieved for WPF?
