RadGridView column header text

[Stefano Zambonin]

After populating RadGridView with AutoGenerateColumns = true i try to change the column header text:

RGVBBoxRecords.Columns[idx].HeaderText = headerstr[idx];
or
RGVBBoxRecords.Columns[idx].Header = headerstr[idx];

but nothing changes.

How to do it?

I have the same problem using Radcontrols for WPF v. 2009.2.701.35.

My code uses a dictionary as resource and dynamicresource to bind to it.

            <Controls:RadGridView.Columns>
                <Controls:GridViewDataColumn HeaderText="{DynamicResource WindowMain_RadGridViewCustomers_CompanyName}" UniqueName="CompanyName" />
            </Controls:RadGridView.Columns>

Any solutions to this problem or do i need to reinstall the previous version where the problem doesn't exist?

Hello,

@ Allan:
With our Q2 2009 we introduced new column property Header (of type object)  similar to MS DataGrid and now HeaderText is obsoleted.

@Stefano Zambonin:
You may try to subscribe to the DataLoaded event of the RadGridView and  perform updates to the desired column header like this:

void gridview_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.RadGridView1.Columns[0].Header = "Test1";
        }

Hope this helps.

Exactly what i'm doing:

 

void RGVBBoxRecords_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

  for (int idx = 0; idx < RGVBBoxRecords.Columns.Count; ++idx)

 

  {

 

    if (idx < headerstr.Count)

 

    {

    RGVBBoxRecords.Columns[idx].Header = headerstr[idx];

    }

  }

.......

and in fact watching with debugger i can see that the Header field is setup properly but nothing happens really: on the screen there are the old strings.

That did the trick... :) That should teach me a lesson, but I can't seem to remember what? :p Could it be something with changes since last version?

Thanks alot for the quick response...

Hi Stefano Zambonin,


Unfortunatelly I couldn't reporoduce the described problem with our official 2009Q2 binaries. Can you please tell us which version of our controls are you using?

However a possible workaround is to subscribe to the AutoGeneratingColumn event:

 void RGVBBoxRecords_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
        {
              e.Column.Header = headerstr[counter];
              counter++;
        }

Please find attached a simple application.

Ok, this way works but if possible i would prefer to use the other way (cleaner code).

I'm using 1 july Q9 2009 version.
