[Solved] Column attributes

[rtk]

Hey.

I'm building my grid programmatic, and in my itembound method i need to do some lookups on spesific columns based on the Id.
So when i create the grid i need to specify which column is a lookup column.

I was hoping i could use attributes, but columns don't have this property.

public static void DefineColumn(string strFile, RadGrid hraGrid)
{
   hraGrid.ItemDataBound += new GridItemEventHandler(default_ItemDataBound);

   GridBoundColumn myCol = new GridBoundColumn();
   hraGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(myCol);

   myCol.attribute["Type"] = "TextLookup";

   myCol.DataField = ;
   myCol.UniqueName = strBuf;
   myCol.SortExpression = strBuf;

   GridBoundColumn myCol2 = new GridBoundColumn();
   hraGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(myCol);

   myCol2.DataField = ;
   myCol2.UniqueName = strBuf;
   myCol2.SortExpression = strBuf;
}

itembound method

foreach (GridColumn col in e.Item.OwnerTableView.RenderColumns)
{
    if (col.type == "TextLookup")
    {
      item[0].Text = (string)getText(iTextID);
    }
}

Hi brajoh,

You can store the lookup column's UniqueName in a new variable and use it later for your purposes.
