[Solved] Column dividers

[Stuart Hemming]

When using a skin like WebBlue, setting the GridLines property does nothing to display the column dividers in the header. How do I make it some there is a visible divider for a user to grab, rather than just relying on them waiting for the cursor to change shape?

Hi Stuart,

The GridLines ASP.NET property uses an obsolete HTML attribute (rules) to control the appearance of tables. However, such obsolete attributes are easily overridden by CSS styles (as in the RadGrid skin), that's why the borders in your case do not appear as expected. I advise you to override the embedded skin with a CSS rule, in order to make the header borders appear:

Q1 2009 and later

div.RadGrid_Default  .rgRow td,
div.RadGrid_Default  .rgAltRow td,
div.RadGrid_Default  .rgHeader,
div.RadGrid_Default  th.rgResizeCol,
div.RadGrid_Default  .rgFilterRow td
{
    border-left:1px solid red;
}


Q3 2008 and previous

div.RadGrid_WebBlue  .GridRow_WebBlue td,
div.RadGrid_WebBlue  .GridAltRow_WebBlue td,
div.RadGrid_WebBlue  .GridHeader_WebBlue,
div.RadGrid_WebBlue  .ResizeHeader_WebBlue,
div.RadGrid_WebBlue  .GridFilterRow_WebBlue td
{
    border-left:1px solid red;
}
