How to Create 4 Grouped Columns in 2 Rows using RadGrid?

[Pooya]

I'd need to create 4 columns at runtime and they should be grouped in one header.

For example, imagine I have 4 columns of AM, PM, EVE and Full and they should all be under one header (Monday):

------------------------
      Monday
AM PM EVE Full
------------------------
1 1 1 3
2 1 1 4
1 1 1 3

I just made up the numbers to demonstrate there should be 4 columns appearing

How could I achieve this?

Many thanks,

Hello Pooya,

Check the following code library to implement this functionality.
span cells in grid over multiple positions.

Hi,

Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly enough.

The Column Rows should be just appear as normal (4 columns); AM (Column 1), PM (Column 2), EVE (Column 3), FULL (Column 4)
The Column header should appear as 1 header text (Monday) over 4 texts (AM (Column 1), PM (Column 2), EVE (Column 3), FULL (Column 4) as if the 4 columns are grouped..

As above demonstration, only the header texts should be merged to appear as one.

I just realized that's called Merging Columns!

My requirement is like this: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/grid/merge-header-columns.aspx but the link to the Telerik GridTemplateColumn is missing.

Thanks,

I found this code for creating the GridTemplateColumn declaratively from here: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/grid/grdcustomizewithgridtemplatecolumn.html

Now, I'd need to create the template columns programmatically as it will be determined at runtime which columns should be shown (Full, AM, PM or EVE), how would that be possible?

Creating HeaderTemplates and ItemTemplates at runtime?

Hello Pooya,

Please examine the Creating template columns programmatically section of the Programmatic creation help topic to see how the desired functionality can be implemented.

I hope this helps.
