[Solved] Grid header text -- Losing sort

[Adam Lindsay]

I am using the following code to change the header on a grid:

protected

 

void RouteInquiryGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 

{

 

if ((e.Item is GridHeaderItem))

 

{

 

GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;

 

 

if (SessionHelper.Instance.WeightUOM.Id == WeightUOM.English.Id)

 

{

header[

"ContainerWeightQty"].Text = "Weight" + WeightUOM.GetAsString(WeightUOM.English.Id);

 

}

 

else

 

{

header[

"ContainerWeightQty"].Text = "Weight" + WeightUOM.GetAsString(WeightUOM.Metric.Id);

 

}

}

}

This works great and the header text is changed.  However, when I do this I lose the ability to sort on the column.  Is there an easy way to get the sort active again.

Thanks,

- Adam

Hi Adam,

Try setting the Text property of HeaderItem LinkButton as shown in the example.

CS:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
            LinkButton literalControl = (LinkButton)headerItem["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
            literalControl.Text = "Custom text";
        }
    }
