Covered ranges in databound grid

Hi Anand,

The GDBGMultiHeader broswer sample shows you how to have multiple row and / or column headers in your GridDataBoundGrid as well as additional unbound rows or columns. It has a couple of fixed rows at the top of the grid that show a variety of controls such as comboboxes, dropdownlists, checkboxes and buttons. It is also an unbound checkbox column which, is on the left side of the grid that affects the display of the values which, are in that row.

Hi Haneef,
Thanks a lot for the sample. Things are working fine for me except that the extra row header is coming as second row header. I want it to be above the datasource column headers i.e at the zeroth row.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Anand,

By default, Extra header row placed below the column header row. One way you can change the appearance of the row by using the CoveredRange and column's HeaderText. First you can try setting the column header text of all column to String.Empty and add covered ranges in the column header to make your required look. And you can set the cellvalue of the extra row by using the column name in a datasource. Below is a code snippet that show this task.

foreach(GridBoundColumn column in this.grid.Binder.InternalColumns)
{
column.HeaderText = String.Empty;
}
this.grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(0,1,0,3)); // first three cell act as one cell.
this.grid.Model.CoveredRanges.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(0,4,0,5));

int i =1;
foreach(GridBoundColumn column in this.grid.Binder.InternalColumns)
{
this.grid.Model[1,i].Text = column.MappingName;
i++;
}

Best regards,
Haneef
