[Solved] Grid Appearance...

[Mark]

Hi,
Few questions here!... (VB)
I have a grid that is used to display tasks. These tasks have a date/time that may or may not be 'overdue' (past current time)..
What i would like to do is..
1) Show rows with red background colour for overdue rows
2) Not have a 'description' column, but show the description as tooltip when hover over row
3) auto-size the columns to column content

Are these possible ? (i'm sure they are, just need help !)

Also, i have used (below), but how do i change the column header etc.. I seem to have 0 columns in collection

Many Thanks In Advance
Mark

Protected Sub grdTasks_NeedDataSource(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) Handles grdTasks.NeedDataSource

grdTasks.DataSource = GetDataTable(query)

End Sub

Hi Mark,

Try setting the HeaderText for a GridColumn using the ColumnUniqueName property as shown below.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
            header["Name"].Text = "CustomHeader";
        }
   }

ASPX:

<rad:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name"   UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name" ></rad:GridBoundColumn>

Go through the following help document links.
