GridViewCheckBoxColumn displays True/False instead of check box when deriving GridViewRowInfo

[Tom]

I have an issue with RadControls for WinForms Q3 2012 where calling Rows.Add with an instance of a type inheriting from GridViewRowInfo causes the value in a GridViewCheckBoxColumn to display True/False instead of a check box. The following illustrates the issue:

using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace TestApp {
    partial class MainForm : RadForm {
        public MainForm() {
            InitializeComponent();
            ItemGrid.Rows.Add(new CustomRowInfo(ItemGrid, "Item #1", true));
            ItemGrid.Rows.Add(new CustomRowInfo(ItemGrid, "Item #2", false));
        }

        private class CustomRowInfo : GridViewRowInfo {
            public CustomRowInfo(RadGridView owner, string text, bool enabled)
                : base(owner.MasterView) {
                Cells[0].Value = text;
                Cells[1].Value = enabled;
            }

            public string Text {
                get { return Cells[0].Value.ToString(); }
                set { Cells[0].Value = value; }
            }

            public bool Enabled {
                get { return (bool) Cells[1].Value; }
                set { Cells[1].Value = value; }
            }
        }
    }
}

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hello Tom,

You should add a GridViewCheckBoxColumn to enable check box for each cell. You can read more about that in the online documentation. After I read your code snippet, I recommend changing the base class of your custom row to be GridViewDataRowInfo, which represents a logical row that keeps data in RadGridView.

Kind regards, Svett

Fantastic, thank you very much!
