Simple header colspan

[Fit2Page]

I am trying to build a Simple (one level) header colspan in which one header should span two columns.

I should I configure MultiColumnHeader to do this?

Hi Marc,

Please check out the following live example which demonstrates how to use multi column header. I would recommend you to use this approach instead merging a header cells.

All examples I can find (also the one you proposed) are with multi-row.

What I want is a simple one row header with a colspan.

Can you please give example for that?

Hello Marc,

I am afraid we does not support merging grid cells. The reason is that some of the grid features might not work correctly. For instance, sorting, filtering etc.

Hello,

You can use the approach from the forum and also there is a code library but you should note that we do not support cells merging. Generally you can access the header item by using the GetItems method of the MasterTable view and use ColumnSpan.

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridHeaderItem header = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Header)[0] as GridHeaderItem;
    header["FirstColumnUniqueName"].ColumnSpan = 2;
    header["SecondColumnUniqueName"].Visible = false;
}

Nevertheless, as I already mentioned many of the built-in features might not work correctly when using this approach.
