All I want is to set the text of a button...

Tuesday, December 06, 2005 6:45 AM

I have an Infragistics UltraWinGrid. I have an unbound column I've set up to display the button. The button shows up at run time, and responds to the events I have hooked up. Happiness.

Now, all I want to do is CHANGE THE TEXT ON THE BUTTON. I was hoping there would be a 'text' property in the CellButtonAppearance set, but no luck. Does anyone know how to do this?!

/me glances over in the direction of Devin.

You do this by handling the InitializeRow event on the grid and then setting the "value" of the column.

private void grid_InitializeRow(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeRowEventArgs e)
{
e.Row.Cells["Button"].Value="Click me";
}


Hope that helps! 12/6/2005 7:03 AM | Robert

Hi,

I faced the similar problem to set the Text of button. You have to set the Text in NullText property of the Unbound column.

I have a button but the appearence of the button is just like text column. Can I get some info How should I make the button appear like any other windows button?

If you're still interested, to make the button appear all the time you have to set the column's ButtonDisplayStyle to Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ButtonDisplayStyle.Always

that should do the trick.

# re: All I want is to set the text of a button...

Cells["Button"] doesn't work for me as "Button" isn't a valid index. Setting nulltext just sets the text in new rows, and not buttons. Maybe it makes a difference that my columns have datasources (i.e. are bound). Is there any other way to set the text on a button? 1/18/2007 1:12 AM | Richard

Richard,
Cells["Button"] is just an example. If the key of your column is "Customer", put that in instead of "Button".

E.g.

UltraGridCell c = e.Row.Cells["Whatever"];
c.Value = "Edit";

This is not exactly good..
(or what am I doing wrong??)

I can set values only in InitializeRow event in unbound column - later on if I try to modify the value of any cell in unbound column - it fails to update the value.. why? 7/31/2007 3:41 PM | ameyagholap@yahoo.com
