Hi Karen,

When you refer to a specific column like this, you should always use the key. The Index of a column may change, but the key probably won't.

So you would do something like this:

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            UltraGridLayout layout = e.Layout;

            layout.Bands[1].Columns["Value"].Header.Caption = "Names";
        }

Thanks Mike,

I will probably use option 2.  But if I did want to use option 1, what is the best way for me to get to that column to change its header?  Would there be unique keys, or would I just need to know the indexed positions of the columns?

Thanks,
~Karen

Hi,

I don't think it's possible to do this with a list of Strings, because you don't have the ability to add an attribute to the Value property of the string class.

So there are two ways you could change the column header text in the grid in this case.

1) Change the Caption on the grid column's header.

2) Don't use strings, but instead create a list of some other class that has a single property of type String. Then you can apply the DisplayName attribute to the property on your class.
