Embeding tab control in a grid cell

[Alfred D'Souza]

Hi,
I would like to embed a custom asp.net tabcontrol in a cell of the grid. Can any one suggest me how i can achieve that in Synchfusion asp.net grid or asp.net grouping grid.

Thanks in advance
Alfred

Hi Alfred,

You can use ''ItemTemplates'' for any required cells of any columns to be a ''Custom Tab Control'' to acheive this behavior.

The best approach is to apply ''Templates through code'' for the Columns.

Please look in the following KB, which should guide you on creating templates programatically.

http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/grid/Default.aspx?ToDo=view&questId=373

It is also possible to apply this template Control to some of the cell based on some conditions. Please have a
look at the following forum , where we discuss about adding a ''ComboBox'' programatically to some of the columns, similarly
you will have to add ''TabControl'' Instead.

Hi
Thanks for your quick response.

I tried adding the tab user control but i could not see anything in the cell. But if i add combo box i can see the combo box in the cell.

Can you please help me out?

I have attached the sample files of my code. I have Tabcontrol.ascx which has some controls(which any way is not actuallt a Tab).

Hi Alfred,

I could see the issue when using usercontrol, I haven''t tried checking the same in ''GridView''. Could you update me if you were able to work with the same in GridView?

However, I have acheived the similar behavior by using muliple controls as templates inside the cs file, please see the attached sample, for more details.

I am not sure if the above sample will help you in your scenario. Let me know if you need more info

Hi ShivaKumar

We need a grid control for our asp.net web application which should have the following features.
1. Look and feel
2. Paging and sorting.
3. Hierarchical display.
4. Embending User controls in a cell.(say Tab control)

I could do the first 3 points but i cannot do the 4th point. Can you please suggest me if Groupinggidcontrol or Grid supports all the above features. Based on this we need to decide whether to buy syncfusion products.

Please reply me if the above points are possible in Synchfusion grid

I would appreciate your early response to this.

Thnaks

Hi Alfred,

To provide the usercontrol inside the grid do as follows

In your sample inside GridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo event specify the following code, instead of the current code, this will show the usercontrol inside the first name column.

[C#]

GridColumnDescriptor colDesc = this.GridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.GetColumnDescriptor("FirstName");
Control ctrl = null;
//Loading the usercontrol to control
ctrl= LoadControl("TabControl.ascx");
//Assigning the control as a template control.
TemplateTabControl templateTab = new TemplateTabControl(ctrl);
colDesc.ItemTemplate = templateTab;


I will update this forum, with a sample as soon as possible, with more details.

Please feel free to let us know if you need more info
