Add picture across multiple columns for row

[TJ]

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum and to telerik controls.

Can anyone tell me how I can add a picture that would span across multiple columns (approximately 3 columns) for each row of the radgrid?

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,
D

Hi,

I would suggest you to use a NestedViewTemplate. So that the Image will be shown for each row and will span across the entire Grid columns. You may set HierarchyDefaultExpanded property to true. So that the Image will shown without expanding the Grid rows. You can aslo hide the Expand/Collapse button.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView HierarchyDefaultExpanded="true" >
         <NestedViewTemplate>
             <asp:Image ID="Image1"    runat="server"  ImageUrl="~/Image/Image1.gif" />
       </NestedViewTemplate>

Code to Hide the Expand/Collapse button.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        {
            if (col.UniqueName == "ExpandColumn")
                col.Display = false;
        }

    }

Thanks
