No "No data" text

[Tomáš]

Hello there!

I notise a strange thing about GridView. When I have empty grid with no data binded, it shows ,,No data to display,, text and that's fine for me. But when I add some columns in design mode, text disappears.

My point is - is it some possible way to have grid with defined columns, no data a and ,,No data to display,, text at once? Or is it way how to force this text to show?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tomáš,

Yes, this is possible. All you need is to set the Text property of the GridElement to the desired text. You should also handle the Rows.CollectionChanged event to trigger when a row is added. Here is a sample:

this.radGridView1.GridElement.Text = "No data to display";
this.radGridView1.Rows.CollectionChanged += new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(Rows_CollectionChanged);

void Rows_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Action == NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Add)
    {
        this.radGridView1.GridElement.Text = "";
    }
}

Should you have any other questions, we will be glad to help.

Kind regards,
