[Solved] 508 Compliant for RadGrid

[Chi Ming]

Hello, 


I know that the radgrid is 508 compliant, but the filtering columns on the radgird might be not 508 compliant. Is that correct? if so, how can I resolve this issue.  I tested it in IE browser using Web Accessibility toolbar from paciello group. They resulted there are no label inputs for the radgrid.

Thanks,

Hello Chi,

Thank you for contacting us.

Indeed the filtering inputs do not have associated with them labels. To pass the accessibility validation you can insert labels into the filtering cells by using following code snippet:

void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        GridFilteringItem filteringItem = e.Item as GridFilteringItem;
        if (filteringItem != null)
        {
            TextBox tb = filteringItem["ID"].Controls[0] as TextBox;

            Label l = new Label();
            l.Text = "Filter by ID";
            l.AssociatedControlID = tb.ID;


            filteringItem["ID"].Controls.AddAt(0,l);

        }
    }

Where the “ID” is the unique name of the column. Additionally I am sending you a simple example which demonstrates that approach. Please check it out and let me know if it helps you.

Looking forward for your reply.
