[Solved] Removing Header Text from Button Column

[Raventhorn]

My company does not want to have header text on a button column since each button is going to display "Edit" or "Remove". Is there a way to hide this text yet keep the column displayed?

HI,

You may set the HeaderText to Empty as shown below.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn HeaderText="" UniqueName="ButtonCol" Text="Click"  ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

Thanks

Hello Shannon,

I'm not sure that I understand you properly. Why you don't just leave the HeaderText property empty?

A possible approach is to hide the header text on ItemCreated:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        (e.Item as GridHeaderItem)["myColumn"].Text = " ";
}

or PreRender:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridHeaderItem item = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)[0] as GridHeaderItem;
    item["myColumn"].Text = " ";
}

When I did it in the designer it did not show the column but it does now when I did it by hand. Weird.
