[Solved] How can I set a Grid header

[Dewang Shah]

Hi,

I need to display a header for the whole grid - not the columns, I know I can do that. The RadGrid class has a property called "ShowHeader" but there is no property to set the header text that I want to display.

Just to make it clear, I am looking to set some text _above_ the column headers as header text for the whole grid. Like a title, if you will.

Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks,
Dewang

Hello Dewang,

You could use the Caption property:

<MasterTableView Caption="something" ...>

Hi,

Thanks for that.

Is there any way to set footer text as well? I have tried the Summary property but that does not work.

Cheers

Hello Dewang,

I'm afraid the Summary property isn't suitable for this scenario. It provides a summary of the table's purpose and structure for user agents rendering to non-visual media such as speech and Braille.

It is possible to use the CommandItem for that purpose:

<MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Bottom" ...

<CommandItemTemplate>
   Something
</CommandItemTemplate>

I'm currently populating a hierarchical radgrid with two SqlDataSources (one for my MasterTableView and the other for my
DetailsView). I have the values of my DataKeyNames MasterKeyFIeld, DataKeyFiled all matching. Initially the page works as
expected. In addition, I have a few dropdownlists on the page that I would like to re-arrange the data on my grid by soon after
the user clicks a button. Once the user chooses the desired options from the dropdownlists and clicks the button, through codebehind
I'm changing the SelectCommand of the sqlDataSource and doing a RadGrid1.DataBind() on both DataSources.
my code in my vb page looks something like this:

SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "Command"
RadGrid1.DataBind()
SqlDataSource2.SelectCommand = "Command"
RadGrid1.DataBind()

After the button click, The MasterTableView applies the new SqldataSource that I set in codebehind(SqlDataSource1), however, my DetailsView still contains the information from my initial SqlDataSource2 Select Statement. I need that Data to be populated as well.
Any help/suggestions i would really appreciate, thank you

Hello German,

Please try to set the hierarchy load mode to Client:

<MasterTableView HierarchyLoadMode="Client" ...
