Hi,

We have a radGrid with one pre-defined checkbox column. To this grid we bind a dynamically generated datatable. Based on a certain logic we have to hide some of the columns in the grid. We are using the following code piece

Sub Page-Prerender
grdlist.datasource=databale
grdlist.databind

 

For Each col As Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumn In grdList.Columns

 

 

If col.UniqueName = "Field to Check" Then

 

col.Display =

False

 

 

Exit For

 

 

End If

 

 

Next
end sub

However the Grid seems to have only one column even in the page prerender hence we dont get to access the column at all. Which event must be used to hide a column?

Issue #2

BTW i also see the checkbox column always grayed even though i have given "REadonly" as "false". What we need is to give a user functionality to click the check boxes and click delete / assign.

1. How to enable the checkboxes in the grid
2. How to get the checked items.

Hi,

I guess the rest of the columns in the your Grid are AutoGenerated. If so you can access the autogenerated columns in the ColumnCreated event and hide the required columns.

GridCheckBoxColumn will render CheckBox as disabled in normal mode and it will be enabled only in edit mode. One suggestion will be to use a GridTemplateColumn with a CheckBox in its ItemTemplate.
Column types

Thanks
Shinu.

Hi,

You can access the CheckBox value for a GridCheckBox Column in the ItemDataBound event as shown below.

ASPX:
<telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn UniqueName="CheckCol" DataField="CheckCol"  HeaderText="CheckCol" ></telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn> 

CS:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem) 
        { 
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item; 
            CheckBox chkbx = (CheckBox)item["CheckCol"].Controls[0]; 
            if (chkbx.Checked) 
            { 
                string strtxt = item["columnUniqueName"].Text; 
            } 
        } 
    } 


Princy.
