Use Button / Image in GridGroupingControl ?

[Vinay Donthi]

How do I display a button or image in one of the columns of GridGroupingControl (Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridGroupingControl). I am trying to handle the click event of this new control/s.

Please could someone tell me how to go about doing this.

Thanks,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,

to display a image you can set the cell type for the column to be "Image".

Example:

this.groupingGrid1.TableDescriptor.Columns["Column Name"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "Image";

If you do want to display a pushbutton you could instead set the cell type to "PushButton". However, in order to display text in a pushbutton you will also need to override TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo and assign e.Inner.Style.Description = e.Inner.Style.Text.

If you want a more customized cell type, e.g. similar to a Ellipsisbutton as shown in "Grid\Samples\CellButtons" example, you can create a custom cell type and register it with the grid. I can create a sample for that if this is the kind of solution you are interested in.

Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks,

Stefan

Yes. I did create the Image Appearance of the Cell and set CellType="Image" However, My column is a True/False column, so I set CellValueType is System.Boolean. Now it displays blank in my Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridGroupingControl
How can I display my own Image depending on the value of the cell (For ex: a "Checked" image for TRUE value and an "Unchecked" image for the FALSE value.
Please help ASAP. My company bought your software a month ago.
Thanks a lot.

You can handle the TableControlCellDrawn event and draw a bitmap over top of the checkbox cell.
