Remove | ('pipe' character) that is displayed with Command row in Grid

[Paul J]

So when you set CommandItemDisplay to true, it adds a table row for the command export buttons. well, it also throws in a "pipe" character |, before the buttons. How do I remove this pipe?

Hello Paul,

I tried following code in order to hide the pipe charactor in the command item.

aspx:

    <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="False" CommandItemDisplay="Top" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
    <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToExcelButton="true" />

c#:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridCommandItem)
        {
            TableCell parentCell = e.Item.FindControl("ExportToExcelButton").Parent as TableCell;
            foreach (Control ctrl in parentCell.Controls)
            {
                if (ctrl is LiteralControl)
                {
                    LiteralControl literal = ctrl as LiteralControl;
                    literal.Text = literal.Text.Replace("|", " ");
                }
            }
        }
    }

Regards,

Shinu.

@Shinu, thanks. that code worked.

I had searched the forum up and down for any posts related to 'pipe' and the pipe character '|', but didn't find anything. It wasn't until after I had submitted this post, and a few hours later, that I randomly found a previous posting related to this issue that also provided the same code as you just did.

So my apologies for bringing up a topic previously already addressed and solutioned.

but thanks!
