[Solved] Change Appearence of Hyperlink

[Mike Kacos]

Hi,

    I have a GridHyperLinkColumn which I set dynamically in the ItemDataBound event.  In some cases (based on a boolean value in the underlying business object) the Hyperlinks navigateURL will not be set at all.  On these cases I'd like the value to not appear as a hyperlink (not in blue or underlined).  Do I need to change to a different column type?  What would the code look like for that?

Thanks,
-Mike

Hello Mike,

I suggest you to use the RadGrid ItemDataBound event to modify the hyperlink's appearance, e.g. set some custom CSS class or inline styles.

The hyperlink is the first control in the respective table cell accessible via

(e.Item as GridDataItem)["MyColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0]

in ItemDataBound.

Thanks Dimo, but I think I'm missing something.  There doesn't appear to be a CSS or Style attribute of the Controls collection for me to set.  Can you provide an actual example of setting the style in ItemDataBound?

Thanks,

Nevermind, I found a different solution, based on your post.  I cleared out the Controls collection, then just added a standard Label. 

Thanks for your help!
