Extra column header multi-col span

[Anne Chinn]

I would like to be able to have an additional column header that spans multiple columns so that the multiple columns are under a column heading.  I saw another post about how to use the GridTemplateColumn/HeaderTemplate/ItemTemplate to achieve this, but I don't see how this will work when I have field values that are of type GridCheckBoxColumn and still be able to get an automatic editmode to come up.

Thanks,

Anne

Hello Anne,

Check out the code below which I implemented to achieve a similar scenario. Here, I replace the CheckBoxColumn with a TemplateColumn and disable the checkbox in normal mode of the grid so that it behaves as a checkbox column.
aspx:

  <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn3">
       <HeaderTemplate>
        <table cellspacing="1"  cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">
        <tr>
        <td width="50%"><b>Products</b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td width="50%">
          ProductName
        </td>
        <td colspan="2" align="right">
         SoldOut
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
       </HeaderTemplate>
       <ItemTemplate>
        <table  cellspacing="1"  cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">
        <tr>
        <td width="50%">
           <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("FirstName") %>' ></asp:Label>
        </td>
        <td width="50%">
        <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" Checked='<%#Eval("Check") %>' runat="server" />
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
       </ItemTemplate>
       <EditItemTemplate>
         <table cellspacing="1"  cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">
         <tr>
         <td width="50%">
            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" Text='<%#Eval("FirstName") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
         </td>
         <td width="50%">
           <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox" runat="server" />
         </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
      </EditItemTemplate>
   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

cs:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            CheckBox check = (CheckBox)item.FindControl("CheckBox1");
            check.Enabled = false;

        }
    }

Thanks
Princy.
