How to change custom icons for default edit toolbar items?
You can change the Default editing toolbar items icon by overriding the content attribute using SVG icons. The dependent class for the edit toolbar items can be used to change the custom icons. The following code example illustrates how to change the toolbar icons.
<style>
/*Changes the add button icons*/
.e-grid .e-addnew:before {
content: "\e609"; /*Change custom icons for the built in icons*/
}
/*Changes the edit button icons*/
.e-grid .e-edit:before {
content: "\e600";
}
/*Changes the delete button icons*/
.e-grid .e-delete:before {
content: "\e680" !important;
}
/*Changes the save button icons*/
.e-grid .e-save:before {
content: "\e646";
}
/*Change the cancel icons*/
.e-grid .e-cancel: before {
content: "\e60a";
}
</style>
Also, you can add the text with icons by using the “create” client side events in Grid.
<script>
function create() {
$("#" + this._id + "_add").append("Add");
$("#" + this._id + "_edit").append("Edit");
$("#" + this._id + "_delete").append("Delete");
$("#" + this._id + "_update").append("Update");
$("#" + this._id + "_cancel").append("Cancel");
}
</script>

<div id="Grid" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#Grid").ejGrid({
// The datasource "window.gridData" is referred from jsondata.min.js.
