Boolean Values Shown as Strings

[Mark]

Hello,

By default, when you bind a column to a boolean value, it gets rendered as a checkbox.  Is there any built-in support to render "True" or "False" instead, or do I need to use a Value Converter?  (I just want to make sure that I have not missed some simple setting somewhere.)

Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,

 

You may predefine the CellTemplate of a GridViewDataColumn, where you can place a TextBlock bound to the particular boolean property of the underlying business object, please refer to the markup below:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsActive}">
   <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
           <TextBlock Text="{Binding IsActive, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
       </DataTemplate>
   </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

In case your columns are auto-generated, just handle the AutoGeneratingColumn event of RadGridVIew in an appropriate manner.


If you have any additional questions please let us know.

 

All the best,
Vanya Pavlova

Hi Vanya,

That approach works perfectly too - thanks! 

Mark.
