How do I add Header Text for the Expand Column?

Hi Doug,

It is possible to add the text to the column header for expand/collapse image, but the width of the header is not possible to be insert with long text. First you need to get the column header element first then you can enter the text.

function window::onload()
{
        var grid = ISGetObject("WebGrid1");
        var colHeaderElement = grid.RootTable.GetElement(WG40.COLHEADER, WG40.HTMLTABLE);
        var headerExpand = colHeaderElement.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
        headerExpand.innerHTML = "EC";
}

Hope this helps.

Hi,

To the novic, it may not be clear that clicking the Plus Image will allow them to see the child records.

To make it clearer:

- add a Tooltip to the Plus and Minus Images.

- add some Text/Image to the Header

But, I can't figure out how to do either.

Currently I have added a Template Column with a Link Button that executes javascript to expand and collapse the Child Rows.

Hello Doug,

I think this is not possible to do because we don't have a properties or it is not designed for text.
Can I know more specific about your scenario such as screenshot?

I have a Hierarchical WebGrid. By default, the first column for the RootTable has a + or – image to expand or collapse the Child Table.

How can I put some text in Column Header for this column?

Thanks,

Doug
