[Solved] Radgrid - HeaderText styling

[ram+telerik S]

I have a Radgrid inside a asp.net user control.  We set the header text in


 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Required Column" >
                <ItemTemplate>
                <telerik:RadTextBox  ID.......></telerik:RadTextBox>
                
                </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

I would like to add a red asterisk (*) next to the "Required Column" indicating that that column is mandatory. Is there a way we can change/style the header text  to have a red asterisk  in design time ?

Also I am not able to set/change the header text in OnItemCreated  or OnItemDataBound events.  Any suggestions ?

Hello,

You can try the following code to add an '*' to the header text of a column:
c#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = new Label();
            lbl.ID = "Label1";
            header["TransactionsID"].Controls.Add(lbl);
            lbl.Text = "*";
            lbl.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.

What is ."TransactionsID" Is it the HeaderText ?

[ram+telerik S]

got it, looks like it is the unique name for the column

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Required Column" UniqueName="myUniqueColumnHeader">


and in ItemCreated Event, it should be

 header["myUniqueColumnHeader"].Controls.Add(lbl);
