Icon in Header Row

[Chet Musialowski]

Hello,

I'd like to put an image in the header row cell above the "current row indicator" column (see attached image).

I was able to do this while running the RadControls for WindForms demo application and using the RadControl Spy tool but need help in accessing the correct element in my code.

Thanks,
Chet

Hello Chet,

Thank you for writing. 

You can change the desired cell image by using the ViewCellFormatting event of RadGridView. The type of the cell that you want to customize is GridTableHeaderCellElement. Here is a code snippet:

void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    GridTableHeaderCellElement headerCell = e.CellElement as GridTableHeaderCellElement;
    if (headerCell != null)
    {
        headerCell.Image = Resources.img;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ImageProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

I hope that you find this information helpful. 
 
All the best,
