Text in the Row Selector column header
posted

Can I place text in the Row Selector column header?

I have set the RowSelectorNumberStyle to RowIndex so I can show line numbers there. But in my situation the line numbers have meaning - they are the "priorities" for the end-user. So I would like to add the word "Priority" as the RowSelectorHeader. There is a TextHAlign and TextVAlign property in  RowSelectorHeader, but there is no Text property.

How can I add the word 'Priority" as the header?

Thanks

    I know this post is old, but it's the top search result for this issue so in the hopes of helping someone in the future -- here's the solution:

    YourGridName.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Override.RowSelectorHeaderStyle = RowSelectorHeaderStyle.SeparateElement;
YourGridName.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Override.RowSelectorWidth = ???;
YourGridName.DrawFilter = new MyDrawFilter();




class MyDrawFilter : IUIElementDrawFilter
{
	public MyDrawFilter()
	{
	}

	public DrawPhase GetPhasesToFilter(ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
	{
		if (drawParams.Element is Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectorHeaderUIElement)
			return DrawPhase.BeforeDrawImage;
		else
			return DrawPhase.None;
	}

	public bool DrawElement(DrawPhase drawPhase, ref UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
	{
		if (drawPhase == DrawPhase.BeforeDrawImage && drawParams.Element is Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectorHeaderUIElement)
		{
			drawParams.DrawString(drawParams.Element.Rect, "MyText", false, false);

			return true;
		}

		return false;
	}
}

    You can add customized text to these elements using the IUIElementCreationFilter interface (the classname for the row selector element is Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectorUIElement).

    Note that you will probably have to set the UltraGrid.DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectorWidth property to a value that is large enough to accommodate that string value.
