[Solved] Any way to force grid to use \Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Object.ascx as start point for rendering cells?

[Andrej]

Hello fellows Telerikers,
I would like to render each cell (no matter which type it is) in Grid with additional info.
I thought natural way to be to add this logic to ~\Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\Object.ascx
I tried it, and seems that grid is not using Object.ascx for rendering Display views (but it does use other templates from DisplayTemplates).
Is there any way I could specify that grid should use Object.ascx?
Or maybe i could create similar file (lets say GridObject.cshtml), that would be start point for rendering all cells.

p.s. I'm using server side binding.

Hello Andrej,

The Grid component performs Html.DisplayFor for each column field. This will show (if any) the display template for real type of the field. To show the Object.ascx template you will have to perform Html.DisplayForModel.

You can control the display template per field by using UIHint attribute as described on the link bellow.
