CommandColumn - Where can we set Button's Text

[Majid Darab]

Please take a look at this example : 

Change the appearance of the buttons in GridViewCommandColumn

I want to create buttons with `Delete` text of every buttons.

But when i create a CommandColumn in GridView text of every button is empty.

Where can we set Button's Text?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Majid,

Please make sure that you have subscribed the grid to the CellFormatting event. You can also check my code snippet below: 

public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
{
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radGridView1.DataSource = this.GetData();
        this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

        GridViewCommandColumn col = new GridViewCommandColumn("Command");
        this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(col);

        this.radGridView1.CellFormatting += this.RadGridView1_CellFormatting;
    }

    private void RadGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo is GridViewCommandColumn)
        {
            // This is how we get the RadButtonElement instance from the cell
            RadButtonElement button = (RadButtonElement)e.CellElement.Children[0];
            if (e.CellElement.RowInfo.Cells["Id"].Value != null)
            {
                int id = (int)e.CellElement.RowInfo.Cells["Id"].Value;
                if (id % 2 == 0)
                {
                    button.Text = "Disabled";
                    button.Enabled = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    button.Text = "Enabled";
                    button.Enabled = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private object GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Id", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(DateTime));

        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add(i, "Name " + i, DateTime.Now.AddDays(1));
        }

        return dt;
    }
}

I have also attached a screenshot showing the result.
