HeaderTemplate in GridColumnSettings

[Jerry]

Hi, i have a question regarding having a HeaderTemplate field on the controller.

Currently i am trying to have a user preference saved grid with the leftmost column having checkboxes and with the header having a check box option to select all the rows. As shown on the example here "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/headerfootertemplates"

However i dont know how i can implement this correctly using my style. The code is as follows:

                new GridColumnSettings
                {
                    Member = "TimesheetId",
                    Title="checkAllRecords",
                    Width="35px",                    
                    ClientTemplate="<input type='checkbox' id='checkedTimesheet' name='checkedTimesheet' value='<#= TimesheetId #>' />",
                    
//////////////////////////// This is what i am trying to input //////////////////////////////////////
                    HeaderTemplate = "<input type='checkbox' title='check all records' id = 'checkAllRecords'>",
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

                    HtmlAttributes = {{ "style", "text-align:center;" }, {"class", "timeTooltip"}}
                    //FooterHtmlAttributes="sdff"
                },

Any help would be appreciated on how to add HeaderTemplates to GridColumnSettings.


Thanks

Hello Jerry,

Setting server side templates is not supported from the controller as there is no way to output HTML from there. MVC does not allow access to the view from the controller.

All the best,

Hi daniel,

I also have the same requirement to add the columns runtime from controller having footer template.

Does telerik mvc grid supports this feature now?

Also can we have frozen columns property so we can set some columns for freeze.
As we have around 20 columns.

Please reply.
