[Solved] Grouping Header Text change

[Milan Gurung]

Hi,

How can I change the grouping field text during runtime? To clarify the scenario, let's say the grid looks like this

ColA  ColB

1 2

3 4

2 5

....

From the program column names are changed and it looks like:

Column A     Column B

1 2

3 4

2 5

This is fine. The trouble comes when "Column A" is dragged for grouping. Grouping is done perfectly. The only concern I have is it is diplaying Grouping Field name as "ColA" rather than "Column A"

Can it be changed programmatically?

Any hint is deeply appreciated.

Thanks lot.

Hello Milan,

You can access the groupheader row and thereby change the text to some custom text. This is explained in detail in the following help document:
Customizing GridGroupHeaderItem

Hi Princy,

Thanks for the reply but I was looking for a way to change the text of the grouping header text which gets displayed on the top of the grid - on the grouping panel itself.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Milan,

I tried the following code snippet change the grouping header text in the Group panel.

CS:

  protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridGroupPanel panel = (GridGroupPanel)RadGrid2.GroupPanel;
        if (panel.GroupPanelItems.Count > 0)
        {
            Literal literal = (Literal)panel.GroupPanelItems[0].Controls[0];
            if(literal.Text.Contains("ProductName"))
                literal.Text = "CustomText";
        }
    }

Thanks

Many thanks for the solution. I changed column name instead in the dataset itself.
