GridDataBoundGrid style and custom cells

[Fred]

Sorry, it was previously posted in the ASP.NET forum, but I meant to post it here.. :(

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

Hi Fred, Refer this KB How do I insert an unbound check box column in a GridDataBoundGrid? To add a push button column, use the QueryCellInfo handler as used in the sample. int PushbuttonColIndex = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.NameToColIndex("Pushbutton"); if(e.RowIndex > 0 && e.ColIndex == PushbuttonColIndex) { e.Style.CellType = "PushButton"; e.Style.Description = "Edit"; e.Style.CellAppearance = GridCellAppearance.Raised; } Best regards, Stanley
