Custom grid header.

[BobDev]

Hi,

I do not think this is possible, so in that case consider this an enhancement request (or any tips would be appreciated).

I would like to have a customer header in the grid. In your terminology a template for a row to displayed above the column headers (like a grid toolbar).

The items I would want to put in that header template are (so any in-built help would be appreciated):
1. A total row count. Would be nice if that number was easily available (#= RowCount #).
2. A refresh button. So also a simple way to call a refresh on the grid and the data source would be good.
3. Custom buttons (e.g. Copy rows, export rows). Would be nice if I had easy access to an array of selected rows which could be sent to the custom functions.
4. A filter input field that either matched against all values in the grid (local data) or was passed as an argument to the data source and refreshed.

This is all stuff I need to for hundreds of grids, so I'd prefer if was possible to provide as a template to the grid rather than having to render as controls next to the grid.

This is probably applicable as a footer template as well.

Hello guys,

You can utilize the grid's toolbar template for this purpose.

Thank you, can you provide sample code to show the row count and export to excel if possible.

Hello again Chakri,

Export to Excel implementation using buttons in the grid toolbar you can find in this code library thread.

To output the row count, you can calculate the total number of rows in the grid data source, and inject this value in the toolbar or assign it to your variable which to be evaluated in the toolbar.

Hope these directions are helpful.
