GridViewTemplate displaying an Icon

[OD]

Hello,

I have a radGridView using some childTemplates. I managed to display the title for each tabs (using the template.Caption), but I wanted to know if there is a possibility to display an icon instead of the text.

Also I wanted to have the tabs position on the left (rgvGridVIew1.MasterTemplate.ChildViewTabsPosition = TabPositions.Left), but the caption is then diplayed vertically. Is there a way to show the caption horizontally ?

 See attached image.

Thanks

I finally managed to find out a solution.

in the RadGridView ViewCellFormatting event :

Dim cellElement As GridDetailViewCellElement = TryCast(e.CellElement, GridDetailViewCellElement)
If cellElement IsNot Nothing Then

    Dim el As RadPageViewStripElement = TryCast(cellElement.PageViewElement, RadPageViewStripElement)
    If el IsNot Nothing Then

        For Each pageViewItem In cellElement.PageViewElement.Items
            If pageViewItem.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible Then
                'Affecting icon
                Select Case pageViewItem.Text
                    Case "PageView1"
                        pageViewItem.Image = My.Resources.icon1
                    Case "PageView2"
                        pageViewItem.Image = My.Resources.icon2
                    Case "PageView3"
                        pageViewItem.Image = My.Resources.icon3
                End Select
                'Deleting PageView text
                pageViewItem.Text = ""
            End If
        Next

    End If

End If

Hello Jean-Marc,

Thank you for writing.  

I am glad that you have a suitable solution for assigning an image to the child template's captions. The ViewCellFormatting event is the appropriate way for customizing the child template.

The GridView >> Cells >> Formatting Examples section in the online documentation contains useful code snippets how to customize the grid cells. The following help article demonstrates a approach how to access the GridDetailViewCellElement that holds the child template and apply some styles: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/cells/formating-examples/child-tabs

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.


Regards,
Dess
