non-css Expand column

[matt]

telerik,

when a RadGrid-equipped page has its CSS disabled, there is a problem w/ the Expand/Collaspe column icons (+/-). currently on a no-CSS page, they render as a small, empty Button. this is not helpful to a user.

instead, the icons should render as a button w/ the text "Expand" or "Collaspe". this way the user knows they can do something w/ it as a UI element.

i am using a custom-skinned RadGrid w/ the latest version of RadControls AJAX.


thanks!
matt

Hello Matt,

If you want to support RadGrid with CSS turned off, it is recommended that you set the ImagesPath property, so that all SpriteButtons ( http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/css-sprites.html ) are switched to ImageButtons.

When setting ImagesPath, you should make sure that all images required for RadGrid buttons exist in the specified location and have valid names:

Alternatively, you can control the ButtonType of the hierarchy expand/collapse buttons programmatically:


        protected void RadGrid1_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Column is GridExpandColumn)
            {
                (e.Column as GridExpandColumn).ButtonType = GridExpandColumnType.LinkButton;
            }
        }
