How do I add a button to a bound Grid Grouping control row

[Josh King]

I would like to add a column to the end of each row that a user can click on to get more detail. I'm not sure how to add that column or object to the extra column.

Thanks,
Josh

Thanks. I am trying to add the button column to the child table. I'm getting an out of range error when running this code:

((GridTableDescriptor)this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Relations[0].ChildTableDescriptor).Columns.Add("Detail");

Is there a different path to the child table that works?

Hi Josh,

You can try this code.

this.grid.GetTableDescriptor("ChildTableName").UnboundFields.Add("ExtraColumnName");

That is working. The column I am adding is a PushButton column. How do I get text to display on the push button? Right now the button is blank. Also, I need to capture the click event of that button.

Thanks!

Hi Josh,

You can handle the QueryCellStyleInfo event of the grid and set the e.Style.Description as data that you want it to be displayed for the pushbutton cells in grid. The following is the code.

private void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if( e.Style.CellType == "PushButton")
e.Style.Description = "YourTextHere";//e.Style.Text;
}

Try handling the TableControlCellButtonClicked event of the grid to get the puh button clicked event.

[c#]
private void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellButtonClicked(object sender, GridTableControlCellButtonClickedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("PushButton Clicke");
}
