CheckBox in RadGridView Q1 2010

[shirley wang]

Dear Telerik developers,

I have a gridview in my application which contains several checkbox columns. Why
do they have such a grey color. It seems that they are all in inactive state. Is there
anything i can do to make them prettier? Thank you !

Hello Shirley Wang,

You can set a template of the cell, add a CheckBox in it and style it to fit your design.
Let me know if you need any assistance with this.

Thank you for the answer. I'ver tried. But if i use template, i can not get this column to be filtered as an usual GridViewDataColumn. Actually a radio button is better for this situation if i can get the column, which use template to be filtered.

Hi shirley wang,

There is no problem to have a custom template or style on a GridViewDataColumn. For example, you could try something like this:

1.<!-- GridViewDataColumn allows us to sort/group/filter -->
2.<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsGoalKeeper}" IsReadOnly="True">
3.    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
4.        <DataTemplate>
5.            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsGoalKeeper, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
6.        </DataTemplate>
7.    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
8.</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
