RadGrid ignoring 'GroupHeaderItemStyle-ForeColor' Attribute

[Jeremi]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid on one of my ASP pages and I want to change the text color on the group header to something more readable. The default value is quite unreadable, as in the attached example1. I have set the 'GroupHeaderItemStyle-ForeColor="White"'-attribute, but it seems that it is simply ignored at run time. If I set the 'GroupHeaderItemStyle-Font-Bold="true"'-attribute, it is successfully picked up. I have tried setting the 'GroupHeaderItemStyle-CssClass'-attribute to a relevant value as well, but had no success with this as well.

How would I go about achieving this?

The second question I have is how to remove the header columns in the grid for the nested groups as in example 2? I wish to achieve a similar look to the grid in the Telerik example at: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/grouping/grouping/defaultcs.aspx

Thanks for the assistance!
Regards.

Hi Jeremi,

I was able to get fore-color to set from ASPX code itself. Can you try setting from code behind as follows:

C#:

void rgrdSample_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 foreach (GridGroupHeaderItem headerItem in rgrdSample.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.GroupHeader))
 {
   headerItem.DataCell.ForeColor = Color.White;
  }
}

The header columns that appear while grouping is GridGroupSplitterColumn, you can try either setting its visibility to false, or set another skin for your Grid.

C#:

void rgrdSample_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Column is GridGroupSplitterColumn)
  {
    e.Column.Visible = false;
  }
}

If this doesn't help, provide your full code snippet.

Thanks,
Princy

Hi Princy,

Thank you for the feedback. I've been off that project for the last couple of days and will be for a couple more. I'll test and provide feedback as soon as I can. Apologies for the delay.
