CommandItemSettings Question

[Mark]

I'm creating my grid programmatically and wondering how I can add a custom button in addition to the export to Excel and CSV buttons already there. Here's a snippet of my code:

rgReport.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowExportToCsvButton = (bool)resultsDT.Rows[0]["ShowExportToCsvButton"];
rgReport.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowExportToExcelButton = (bool)resultsDT.Rows[0]["ShowExportToExcelButton"];
rgReport.MasterTableView.CommandItemSettings.ShowAddNewRecordButton = false;

Again, I want to add a custom button, but not sure how to go about doing that programmatically. I know I can use the CommandItemTemplate, but I'm not sure if I have to recreate the export functionality or if I can simply add another button to the already existing CommandItemSettings.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Mark,

Both ways will be easy to implement:

1) CommandItemTemplate

<CommandItemTemplate>
    <table class="rcCommandTable" width="100%">
        <td>
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgExpCSV" CommandName="ExportToCSV" />
            <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgExpPDF" CommandName="ExportToPdf" />
        </td>
        <td style="float: right">
            <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgAdd" CommandName="InitInsert" />
        </td>
    </table>
</CommandItemTemplate>

2) Programmatic button

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
    {
        var parentCell = e.Item.FindControl("InitInsertButton").Parent;
        LinkButton btn = new LinkButton();
        btn.ID = "NewButton1";
        btn.Text = "PDF EXPORT";
        btn.CommandName = "ExportToPdf";
        parentCell.Controls.Add(btn);
    }
}
