[Gernot]

Hello,
i create a RadGrid from Code. All Columns are auto generated.
 
1. how can i change the button types of auto generatet "edit/delete" columns to "ImageButton"?

2. Is it posible to position the command buttons on the right site of the DataBound Columns?

Many thanks for your great support ;-)

Hi,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

   protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Column is GridEditCommandColumn)
        {
            GridEditCommandColumn editcol = (GridEditCommandColumn)e.Column;
            editcol.ButtonType = Telerik.WebControls.GridButtonColumnType.PushButton;
            editcol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;

        }
       if(e.Column is GridButtonColumn)
       {
             GridButtonColumn deletecol = (GridButtonColumn)e.Column;
             if (deletecol.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn")
             {
                 deletecol.ButtonType = Telerik.WebControls.GridButtonColumnType.PushButton;
                 deletecol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;
             }
       }

   }

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,
thank you for your help.

Is it not posible to set any property of the radgrid to archive this?

Hi,
the example you wrote did not work.
Maybe you have an older version of radcontrols!

This worked for me but the command columns are still on the left side:

           if (e.Column is Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditCommandColumn)

            {

                Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditCommandColumn editcol = (Telerik.Web.UI.GridEditCommandColumn)e.Column;

                editcol.ButtonType = Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;

                editcol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = System.Web.UI.WebControls.HorizontalAlign.Right;



            }

            if (e.Column is Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumn)

            {

                Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumn deletecol = (Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumn)e.Column;

                if (deletecol.UniqueName == "AutoGeneratedDeleteColumn")

                {

                    deletecol.ButtonType = Telerik.Web.UI.GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;

                    deletecol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = System.Web.UI.WebControls.HorizontalAlign.Right;

                }

            }  

Cheers

Hi Alaeddin,

If I understand you correctly, you want the Edit column to be displayed last in the Grid? You can achieve this by swapping it with the last one using the PreRender event handler of the Grid. Here is a snippet:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.SwapColumns(2, 9);
}

The second parameter is the index of your last column (note that column indexes start at 2 as explained here).

I have attached a sample for reference.

Hello Pavel,
this did not work for me because my gridview is generated from code.
My autogenerated gridview has only 2 columns in the "PreRender" event.

In your example the gridview is on the page.

:-(

Many Thanks

Hi Alaeddin,

The approach for a programmaticaly created Grid is basically the same. Please find the attached project for reference.

All the best,
