GridTableView and HeaderStyle

[Chris Haas]

Hello Telerik Folks,

I'm using a Telerik Grid with a Master/Detail setup.  Everything works great except if I set any property of the HeaderStyle on the Child detail GridTableView, it does not render the "rgHeader" base class in the <th> of the column headers.  Without rgHeader, I loose the nice background image and colors I have set in my Skin.  This does not happen when I set the same properties on the Master table.

My workaround is to create a Css class with all the settings I need and set the HeaderStyle-CssClass="rgHeader myClassName".  This is not ideal as the next guy in my company may not figure this out.

I can't imagine this is the desired functionality.  I was using the Q1 2010 version of Telerik.Web.UI and then upgraded to the latest version "2011.1.413.40" but still got the same result.  Please advise.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris Haas,

If you set CssClass to the HeaderStyle outside the MasterTableView, the RadGrid Control will add it to all headers, e.g.:

Copy Code

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" ...>
    <HeaderStyle CssClass="yourClassName" />
    <MasterTableView>
        <Columns>
              .......
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

On the other hand if you set CssClass inside the column markup, this will replace the class of header for this column. This is done so it is possible to easily clear a default setting for specific column. If you want to keep the default styles, just set CssClass="rgHeader yourClassName", e.g.:

Copy Code

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" ...>
    <MasterTableView>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                <HeaderStyle CssClass="rgHeader yourClassName" />
                ......
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>
