Custom Header Text

[Harvey Green]

Hi,
I'd like to change the Text in the Column Headers from the standard A,B,C, etc. to a user defined string.

From looking at the docs, I need to get access to the CellValue property of either a GridHeaderCellRenderer or a GridSortColumnHeaderCellRenderer object.

How can I get access to these objects from my standard GridControl?

Thanks,

I've found that I can just change these
values using

gridControl1[0, col].Text = "..."

You are correct.

In a GridControl, the column headers are just row 0 of the grid. They look different than other cells only because their GridStyleInfo objects have properties set to make this 'header-like' appearance. So, you can change things in the header by accessing the GridStyleInfo object just as with any other cell.

Can you set custom header text in design mode from the IDE?

For a GridControl, turn off the Columns flag in the grid's AllowSelection property. Then in interactive mode, if you click a column header, it will not select the column, and will allow you to change the text. You can later turn the columns back on.
