[Solved] DataGrid onDataItemBound unable to change ButtonColumn Text

[Chris]

Hi,

I have datagrid with GridButtonColumn.  I would like to change the text on ItemDataBound.  However, it doesn't work.

                <telerik:RadGrid ID="dgDFR" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Skin="Windows" OnItemDataBound="dgDFR_ItemDataBound">
                    <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="None" CurrentResetPageIndexAction="SetPageIndexToFirst" Width="900px"
                        Dir="LTR" Frame="Border" TableLayout="Auto" DataKeyNames="ID" AlternatingItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
                        <NoRecordsTemplate>There is no data product for you at this time.</NoRecordsTemplate>
                        <Columns>
                                <telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="Action" HeaderText="Action"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>
                        </Columns>
                    </MasterTableView>
                </telerik:RadGrid>

        protected void dgDFR_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
                if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
                {
                    GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                        GridButtonColumn gbtnCol = item.OwnerTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("Action") as GridButtonColumn;
                            gbtnCol.Text = "Resume";
                            gbtnCol.DataTextFormatString = "Resume";
                }
        }

Please let me know what the problem is with my code provided above.

Hi Chris,

Try accessing the button for the GridButtonColumn in the ItemCreated event and set the text for the button as shown below.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid2_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)item["Action"].Controls[0];
            lnkbtn.Text = "Resume";
        }
   }

Thanks
Shinu.
