RadGrid GroupBy accessing data

[Ben]

I am trying to create an onclick event in the text of the header.  I need data that is in the actual rows that are expanded out of a closed group so i can send it to the javascript function.  I have not been able to find any way to access this data.

Does anyone have insight as to how to do this?

Hi Ben,

I am afraid it is difficult to figure out the exact requirement. Can you please elaborate on your specific scenario and provide us sample screenshots or video demonstrating the desired behavior?

Additionally, you can check out the improved client-side functionality of RadGrid grouping:

Let me try again.

I have a grid that groups by say "EmployeeName".  I have an ItemDataBound event that fires.  This event fires regardless of whether it is binding a grouping header of a specific data line. So my ItemDataBound looks like:


So the function belowworks great for the GridDataItem objects because I can pass the "EmployeeID" to this javascript function.  However, when I try to do something similar
in the GridGroupHeaderItem section I cannot access any data because it is just a header.

Does this help?

protected void InternalTrainingGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

       {

           String ei = "";

           if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

           {

               GridDataItem dataBoundItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

                

               var x = dataBoundItem["IsManager"].Text;

               if (Boolean.Parse(dataBoundItem["IsManager"].Text))

               {

                   dataBoundItem["Institution"].Attributes.Add("onclick", "FocusTraining('" + dataBoundItem["EmployeeID"].Text + "')");

                   ei = dataBoundItem["EmployeeID"].Text;

               }

           }

           else if (e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)

           {

               GridGroupHeaderItem item = (GridGroupHeaderItem)e.Item;

               if (ei != "")

               {

                   item.DataCell.Text += "<span class='FocusTraining' onclick='FocusTraining(\"" + ei + "\")'>Click Here To See Direct Reports</span>";

                   ei = "";

               }

           }

       }
