We discovered the following is not working in RadGrid's ItemDataBound nor in ItemCreated events:
Dim imgbtn As ElasticButton
Dim imgbtn1 As ElasticButton
imgbtn = DirectCast(Item("btn_sequp").Controls(0), ElasticButton)
imgbtn1 = DirectCast(Item("btn_seqdown").Controls(0), ElasticButton)
imgbtn.SecondSpanClass = "d-none"
imgbtn1.SecondSpanClass = "d-none"
So we had to set through CSS like:
.t-text.rgButtonText {display:none;
}
