Adding data to GridGroupHeaderItem Controls

[Andy]

Hello,

I have a Grid that is grouped by a field then I have added Controls to the Header on the Grid.ItemDataBound event. I then want to dynamically set the values of some of these controls. This works well on the ItemDataBound event but it doesn't always get fired, I need to use the ItemCreated event also. The problem there is I am using the following code to get the Grouped By field so I can get the values from the database:

string strtxt = header.DataCell.Text;
        string[] arr = strtxt.Split(':');
        string strGroupByField = arr[1].ToString();
        strGroupByField = Regex.Replace(strGroupByField, @"<(.|\n)*?>", string.Empty);

Unfortunately, this fails when triggered from the ItemDataBound event, I would imagine because it hasn't quite got all the data yet.

Is there a way to force the Grid to use fire the ItemDataBound event everytime?

Thanks!

Andy

Hello Andy,

One possible option would be to use the PReRender event handler for the control, and get all the groupheaders in the control (RadGRid1.MasterTableView.GetItems). It is both fired at all times, and contains all the relevant data.

Kind regards,
