Grouped column names

[Al]

Hi,

My grid is databound using NeedDataSource and I localize my column names in the Pre-Render event. When I enable ShowGroupPanel to allow users to drag columns for grouping, the name that appears in the group box and in the grouping row titles is not the localized name. I have searched the column properties but I can't see anything obvious for this - what do I need to set in order to get the names displaying correctly?

Hi Al,

You can use the following approach to achieve this requirement:

protected void RadGrid1_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
    {
        string newHeaderText;
        switch (col.UniqueName)
        {
            case "ShipCountry": newHeaderText = "Altered"; break;
            case "Freight": newHeaderText = "Modified"; break;
            default: newHeaderText = "Success"; break;
        }
        col.HeaderText = newHeaderText;
    }
}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks, that sorted out the names in the group-by box as well as on the grid's context menu.
