Hi All,

I have a grid, 3 rows at the top are fixed.

All columns dynamically created in Code Behind.

My 3rd column is a static column.

This Static column text has 6 options and it is not bound to any data field. The user can click and each one fires a JavaScript routine. This works perfect.

Code: C# 
EO.Web.StaticColumn oBUCol3 = new EO.Web.StaticColumn();
oBUCol3.Name = "BU-ITEMS";
oBUCol3.Text = "<a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectE')\">[E]</a><a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectH')\">[H]</a><a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectI')\">[I]</a><a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectC')\">[C]</a><a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectS1')\">[S1]</a><a href=\"javascript:bu_raisesGridEvent('SelectALL')\">[ALL]</a>";


Anyway, ROW 3, COLUMN 3 (the static column), I need to show different text to what is created Dynamically. I tryed to change the text Dynamically after the row is created in Code behind, but it wont change (other columns do).

I didn't have the latest build, and the build I was using showed the dynamic created text (above) in the 3 Fixed rows which I don't need.

However, I just installed the latest version, and now the top 2 out of 3 rows are blank in the Static Column (which is what I want) but not the 3rd row.

1) Why cant I change the Text (yes, I know it is static, but I should still be able to change it)
2) Is a StaticColumn the best to use, or should I create a Custom Column like a label column

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Hi,

Have you tried to use something like this:

Code: C# 
Grid1.Items[0].Cells[0].Value = "something";


When you set Text to the GridColumn, it applies all cell to the column. When you set Value to the GridCell, it affect only that cell.

Thanks!

Ok, thanks for that reply...

I am trying to set the value like this:

Code: C# 
EO.Web.GridItem newItem = BU_EOGrid.CreateItem();

newItem.Cells[0].ColSpan = 3;
newItem.Cells[0].Value = "";
newItem.Cells[1].Value = "";
newItem.Cells[2].Value = "";
newItem.Cells[3].ColSpan = _dtBU.Rows.Count - 1;
newItem.Cells[3].Value = "BUSINESS AREAS";

BU_EOGrid.Items.Add(newItem);


As I presumed that I can set the Value needed on the new item before it was added to the grid.

But, are you saying, add the newitem (row) and then configure the values. Do you do that after the databind command (EG in this case BU_EOGrid.DataBind(); or after the newitem (row) has been added?

Thanks again

Hi,

By definition, a call to DataBind wipes everything that's already in the Grid and recreate all items from your data source. So whatever changes you made by code before DataBind has no effect.

Thanks!

Ok, but in this case, I am not binding from a data source. Because I have to "make up" the Grid data from disparate datasources and apply rules, then I simple have to add the rows as I am doing manually.

Actually, that makes me think then, why am I calling BU_EOGrid.Databind()... Just removed that and it is the same.

I tried you grid1.items[0].... idea and got the same results as I did, assigning as I went in the newitem.

I was able to get the desired result by not assigning anything in the Static Column (well, I made a Custom Label Colum) then used the ClientSideGetText routine and if the row was <= 2, set the value to empty string but if it was greater than 2, set the text to my 6 command options I needed.

It works perfectly.

Thanks.
