Adding Text to GridClientSelectColumn

[Don]

How do I add text to the generated text boxes for this column. The check boxes show up fine and work as expected, I just want text next to them. This includes the header. I set the header text property but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Here is the definition for the column.

                        <telerik:GridClientSelectColumn DataTextField="Id" HeaderText="Select All"
                            HeaderAbbr="Select All" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"
                            HeaderTooltip="Select/Deselect All" Text="Select" />

Hello Don,

I achieved same functionality by using the code snippet.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)

{

GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;

LiteralControl lControl = new LiteralControl();

lControl.Text = "Header";

headerItem["SelectMe"].Controls.Add(lControl); // Add text to Header

}

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

{

GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

LiteralControl lControl = new LiteralControl();

lControl.Text = "Select";

item["SelectMe"].Controls.Add(lControl); // Add text to each item

}

}

And here is the ASPX:

<telerik:GridClientSelectColumn DataTextField="Id" HeaderText="Select All" HeaderAbbr="Select All"
    HeaderButtonType="LinkButton" HeaderTooltip="Select/Deselect All" Text="Select"
    UniqueName="SelectMe">
</telerik:GridClientSelectColumn>

-Shinu.
