How to access header cell in multi column header?

[yuki]

Please see the attached picture. I have a Grid with multi column headers. How do I access header cells where red arrows and green arrow are pointing at respectively?

Accessing header cells is happening in RadGrid1_OnPreRender().

BTW, how to visually indicate filtering for grid with multi column header ? I tried this code in: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/knowledge-base/grid-visually-indicate-filtered-columns-in-excel-like-filtering

It works fine with common grid, but for grid with multi colum headers, it has bugs and cannot show properly.

Thank you!

Try this

protected void RadGrid1_OnPreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HasMultiHeaders)
    {
        foreach (GridColumnGroup group in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ColumnGroups)
        {
            foreach (GridHeaderItem headerItem in group.HeaderCells)
            {
                // Access the header cell and perform any required operations.
                string headerText = headerItem.Text;
                // ...
            }
        }
    }
}

You may need to handle the filtering logic and UI customization manually.

Hi, Neha, thanks for providing the answer. However, I tried your code and cannot find group.HeaderCells, are you sure GridColumnGroup has this attribute?
