[Solved] Header cell image gets reset on mouse over

[Peter Luth]

Hello,

I am using the RowFormatting event to set an image to the GridRowHeaderCellElement. This is working. However when a user hovers the mouse over the header cell, the image gets removed, and it will only get reset if he clicks a row again.

Here is the code I use for RowFormatting:

void RowFormatting_ImageChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RowFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            GridRowHeaderCellElement grhce = e.RowElement.Children[0] as GridRowHeaderCellElement;

            if (grhce != null)
            {
                GridViewEditableEntry aa = e.RowElement.RowInfo.DataBoundItem as GridViewEditableEntry;
                if (aa != null)
                {
                    if (aa.Changed)
                        grhce.Image = myimage1;
                    else if (aa.IsEditable)
                        grhce.Image = myimage2;
                    else if (!aa.IsEditable)
                        grhce.Image = myimage3;
                }
                else
                {
                    grhce.Image = null;
                }
            }
        }

How can I prevent the header cell image to get reset?

Hi Martin,

You can do this by using custom row header cells. You should process the CreateCell event. Please consider the code snippet below:

void radGridView1_CreateCell(object sender, GridViewCreateCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellType == typeof(GridRowHeaderCellElement))
    {
        e.CellElement = new MyHeaderCell(e.Column, e.Row);
    }
}

public class MyHeaderCell : GridRowHeaderCellElement
{
    public MyHeaderCell(GridViewColumn column, GridRowElement row)
        : base(column, row)
    {
    }

    public override void UpdateInfo()
    {
        base.UpdateInfo();
        this.Image = Resources.blue;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write us back if you have questions.
