[Solved] Convert/Expand Default Command Bar to CommandItemTemplate

[Jon Kennerly]

The default command template on the RadGrid works well for me with the Sunset skin. However, I do need to add to it. I'm looking for code that gets me the default Sunset skinned Command Bar as a CommandItemTemplate. Below is my grid with the command settings I need. Attached is a screen shot.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" GridLines="None"
    Width="100%" Skin="Sunset"
    AutoGenerateColumns="false" AllowPaging="true" AllowSorting="True"
    MasterTableView-ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="true"
    MasterTableView-CommandItemSettings-ShowExportToCsvButton="true"
    MasterTableView-CommandItemSettings-ShowExportToExcelButton="true"
    MasterTableView-CommandItemSettings-ShowExportToWordButton="true"
    MasterTableView-CommandItemSettings-ShowRefreshButton="false"
    ShowStatusBar="true" ShowFooter="true"
    OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
    OnDetailTableDataBind="RadGrid1_DetailTableDataBind">
...
</telerik:RadGrid>

Hi Jon,

In order to show the command item, you should set CommandItemDisplay property of GridTableView. Please refer to the following help article and let me know if other questions or problems arise:

This doesn't specifically answer my question. I'm looking for the markup that will produce the same look and feel of the default command bar as per the 'Sunset' skin, including icons and background gradient. That styling works for me, but I need to add some additional textual elements as well.

See the attached image in the original post please.

Thank again.

Hi Jon,

Please refer to this help article for more information on how to modify an existing RadGrid skin. You may also consider utilizing the Visual Style Builder for ASP.NET tool to modify existing skins.
