How to display the row numbers (as sequence) in the Telerik data grid?

[Barani]

I want to implement row numbers in the Telerik data grid. Is there any predefined functions to enable? Or do we have any other method to achieve this. Please guide me how to achieve the above process.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Barani,

The desired result can be achieved by creating a custom column as demonstrated in the Row Number demo from our WPF Controls Examples application.

Here is the code of interest:

    public class RowNumberColumn : Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn
    {
        public override FrameworkElement CreateCellElement(Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewCell cell, object dataItem)
        {
            TextBlock textBlock = cell.Content as TextBlock;

            if (textBlock == null)
            {
                textBlock = new TextBlock();
            }

            textBlock.Text = string.Format("{0}", this.DataControl.Items.IndexOf(dataItem) + 1);

            return textBlock;
        }

        protected override void OnPropertyChanged(System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs args)
        {
            base.OnPropertyChanged(args);

            if (args.PropertyName == "DataControl")
            {
                if (this.DataControl != null && this.DataControl.Items != null)
                {
                    this.DataControl.Items.CollectionChanged += (s, e) =>
                    {
                        if (e.Action == System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Remove)
                        {
                            this.Refresh();
                        }
                    };
                }
            }
        }
    }

Please let me know if this provides the desired result.
