Dynamically change GridColumnGroup text

[GDPR_erased]

I have a simple radgrid that has one GridColumnGroup that displays above 4 bound columns.
------------------------------
<ColumnGroups>
<telerik:GridColumnGroup HeaderText="Reporting Period" Name="ReportingPeriod"/>
</ColumnGroups>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Numerator" HeaderText="Numerator" UniqueName="Numerator"  ColumnGroupName="ReportingPeriod" />

That is all, there is no "grouping", etc. It is purely for display.

Is there a way to  change the HeaderText of the GridColumnGroup dynamically? I cannot seem to be able to access it on itemdatabound, or any other way. I want to change the text to a "value", but there is no way to reference it? (to the reporting period dates dynamically)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bill,

Please try the following code snippet to set the GridColumnGroup HeaderText :

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ColumnGroups[0].HeaderText = "Header Text";
}

Thanks,

Thanks for the information. I had tried that before on the itemdatabound (which is where I need it):

grdReadiness.MasterTableView.ColumnGroups.FindGroupByName("ReportingPeriod").HeaderText = ""

And, it finds the groupheader just fine (stepping thru it), but here is the problem.. The page come up, but the groupcolumn header text is not changed!! Now, as soon as I click on a column to sort, (or page) it changes!
It is like it is not there the first time on the page initial load.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Bill,

You can try to set the Text in the PreRender event as follows:

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ColumnGroups.FindGroupByName("ReportingPeriod").HeaderText = "";
 RadGrid1.Rebind();
}

When using ItemDataBound event also, I was able to get it to work. Can you provide your code snippet so as to help you with the requirement.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ColumnGroups.FindGroupByName("ReportingPeriod").HeaderText = "";
}

Thanks,
