Gridview Chart Title

[Amy]

Hi there,

I would like to create a title for my RadGridView that looks similar to the default RadChart title.  How can I do this?

Thanks,
Amy

Hi Amy,

 

RadGridView has its own GridViewHeaderRow which is similar to the RadChart's Title. Within its header you may find separate headers for each column. If you want to remove the headers for all columns from the GridViewHeaderRow  you should edit its template in Expression Blend. There you will find the PART_DataCellsPresenter which is responsible for displaying GridViewHeaderCells. Just delete this presenter and replace it with a single TextBlock with some custom text. 



If you need any further assistance do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Vanya,

Thank you for your reply.  However, I do not have Expression Blend.  Could you please provide an example to get me started?  I've attached an image to show what I am trying to accomplish.

Hi Amy,

 

You may achieve the desired result by predefining the template of RadGridView. 
Please find attached sample project that demonstrates how this can be achieved.

Thank you for the example Vanya.

The LinearGradientBrush was what I needed to achieve my goal.
