GridDataBoundGrid style and custom cells

[Fred]

Hi,

We''re trying to use a Syncfusions grid here where the data is bound from a DataTable retrieved from the database.

To do this I used a GridDataBoundGrid (GDBG) which worked instanly. I added 2 custom columns that weren''t from the database, these columns are meant to be use for data manipulation. These two new columns have a specific use for every row:

The first column, a checkbox, used to select rows I want to delete in a batch.

The second column is a button used to launch a dialog to edit the current row.

I''ve tried to do something like this:

grid(x,y).Description = "Edit"
grid(x,y).CellAppearance = Raised
grid(x,y).CellType = "Pushbutton"

But it just won''t work. I''ve seen it work with the GridControl control, but I can''t get it to work with DGBD.

Maybe I should use another grid control?

Thanks

You cannot directly set cell specific properties on individual cells in a GridDataBoundGrid. Chect out this KB article for information on how you do it.
