gridclientselectcolumn headertext

[Bill]

Is there a way to get the headertext to be visible in the header of a GridClientSelectColumn?
I have a customer who insists that "nobody is going to know what it does" if there isn't any text in the header...

Hello Bill,

You can try the following code snippet in ItemDataBound event to set the HeaderText for GridClientSelectColumn.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridClientSelectColumn UniqueName="GridClientSelectColumn"></telerik:GridClientSelectColumn>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
            CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)headerItem["GridClientSelectColumn"].Controls[0];
            chkBox.Text = "Header Text";
        }
    }

Thanks,
Princy.

Hello Sachidanand,

Try the following code.
C#:

protected void grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
{
 GridHeaderItem headerItem = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
 CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)headerItem["GridClientSelectColumn"].Controls[0];
 chkBox.Visible = false;
}
}

Hi Antonio,

Generally, you can achieve any appearance requirement using CSS. Please let me know which RenderMode and Skin do you use for RadGrid so I can send you a sample runnable web site demonstrating the desired functionality.
