Showheader always

[Wang]

Hello,

I want to show grid header always,even there is no datasource or records,here is the code I tried,but the header did't show:

<telerik:RadGrid RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"  AllowFilteringByColumn="True" CellSpacing="0" ShowHeader="true">
         <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowHeader="true" ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="true">
                        <Columns>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="BrandName" HeaderText="Brand Name" UniqueName="BrandName">
                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Model" HeaderText="Model" UniqueName="Model">
                            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                            </Columns>
             </MasterTableView>
         </telerik:RadGrid>

 

what should I do?

Hello,

Could you specify how is the grid populated? I tested the code below on my end and the headers show as expected when 0 records are loaded:

<telerik:RadGrid RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" CellSpacing="0" ShowHeader="true">
            <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowHeader="true" ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="true">
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="BrandName" HeaderText="Brand Name" UniqueName="BrandName">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Model" HeaderText="Model" UniqueName="Model">
                    </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.DataSource = GetDataTable("SELECT Top 0 * FROM Customers");
}

Thank you very much,

In my project,when page loaded,the grid do not load datasource or databind,when user set the condition of query(like keywords or some else),and click query button on the radtoolbar,I would set the datasource and  databind(); can I use RadGrid1_NeedDataSource event in this case?

Hi,

Yes you can use NeedDaatSource in this case you just need to call RadGrid1.Rebind() on button click.The Rebind() method will force the grid to fire NeedDataSource event and populate the control.
