RadGrid row headers?

[Gordon Doherty]

Hi,

For accessibility compliance, I need to ensure my rows have headers (just like the columns). So the first cell of each datarow is like:
<th scope="row" ...>

Currently, the grid outputs:
<td scope="row" ...>

...and I don't know which property/properties to modify to get the desired change?

Cheers in advance,
Gordopolis

Hi Gordon,

Please go through the following help article and see whether it helps.
Customizing with GridTemplateColumn
Also for more custom and flexible layout of your RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX, you may consider taking advantage of the global item template feature. Here are more details on this subject:

I hope this helps.

I've read the links, but can't find any way to get row headers.

Edit:

I'm trying to get something like this:

Hi Daniel,

If you want to turn columns into grid rows you need to use the approach described into the following documentation article:
Displaying pivot data

Please give it try and let me know if it helps you.

That approach only works with DataTable and I'm using EntityFramework in the Data Layer so I have to work with Lists as DataSources.

The solution I've found is not that simple. I'm using a RadPivotGrid and handling the CellDataBound event to paint a Label into each cell so I can display non numeric strings. It's necesary to use a dictionary to translate the numeric values of the List used as DataSource into non numeric strings.

First, I need a class who encapsulates the original Matrix object and an int called "Key":

public class MatrixValue: OriginalMatrixValue
        {
            public int Key { get; set; }
        }

Then, into the Page_Load:

Dictionary<int, MatrixValue> dictionary = new Dictionary<int, ValorMatrizClave>();
            int i = 0;
            foreach (MatrixValue value in OriginalDataSourceList)
            {
                value.Key= i;
                dictionary.Add(value.Key, value);
                i++;
            }

Into the NeedDataSource:

List<MatrixValue> matrixValueList = OriginalDataSourceList.Select(m => new MatrixValue {
      Key= OriginalDataSourceList.IndexOf(m), Property1 = m.Property1, Property2 = m.Property2
}).ToList();

(sender as RadPivotGrid).DataSource = matrixValueList;

And the CellDataBound handler:

protected void RadPivotGrid1_CellDataBound(object sender, PivotGridCellDataBoundEventArgs e)
        {
    MatrixValue matrixValue = ((MatrixValue)dictionary[Convert.ToInt32(e.Cell.DataItem)]);
          Label lblCell= new Label();
lblCell.ID = e.Cell.ID + "_Label";
lblCell.Text = matrixValue.Property1; //The string property you want to show
e.Cell.Controls.Add(lblCell);
        }

Hi Daniel,

Just wondering how to get this working for a wpf RadGrid? And get the same layout exported to an excel or pdf?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lax
