I have the below code working, but there has GOT to be a better way...
Whenever a cell change event happens, check it if is one of our target cells, if so change the first character of the headertext:
privatevoidradGridView1_CurrentCellChanged(objectsender, CurrentCellChangedEventArgs e) { var test = e.NewCell; if(test.ColumnInfo.Name == "podName") { this.radGridView1.Columns["podName"].HeaderText = "*Name"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podTime"].HeaderText = "Time"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podDate"].HeaderText = "Date"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podQty"].HeaderText = "Qty"; } else { this.radGridView1.Columns["podName"].HeaderText = "Name"; } if(test.ColumnInfo.Name == "podTime") { this.radGridView1.Columns["podName"].HeaderText = "Name"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podTime"].HeaderText = "*Time"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podDate"].HeaderText = "Date"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podQty"].HeaderText = "Qty"; } else { this.radGridView1.Columns["podTime"].HeaderText = "Time"; } if(test.ColumnInfo.Name == "podDate") { this.radGridView1.Columns["podName"].HeaderText = "Name"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podTime"].HeaderText = "Time"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podDate"].HeaderText = "*Date"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podQty"].HeaderText = "Qty"; } else { this.radGridView1.Columns["podDate"].HeaderText = "Date"; } if(test.ColumnInfo.Name == "podQty") { this.radGridView1.Columns["podName"].HeaderText = "Name"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podTime"].HeaderText = "Time"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podDate"].HeaderText = "Date"; this.radGridView1.Columns["podQty"].HeaderText = "*Qty"; } else { this.radGridView1.Columns["podQty"].HeaderText = "Qty"; } }
then in the cell formatting event look if the first character of the cell is a "*"
privatevoidradGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(objectsender, CellFormattingEventArgs e) { if(e.CellElement isGridHeaderCellElement) { try { //var test = e.Column.HeaderText.ToString(); var test = e.Column.HeaderText.ToString().Substring(0, 1); if(test == "*") { e.CellElement.DrawBorder = true; e.CellElement.DrawFill = true; e.CellElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid; e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.White; // e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Red; } else { e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawBorderProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local); e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local); e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local); e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local); e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ForeColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local); } } catch(Exception) { //throw; } }
