I have a boolean value in a datatable that i bind to a datagrid from the codebehind. But instead of a checkbox the webDataGrid displays "true" or "false" and that column is editable like a string value.
Here is some code that i'm using (_sestevalniDT is a DataTable and SestevalniStevec is a WebDataGrid):
_sestevalniDT = new DataTable();
_sestevalniDT.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Naziv", typeof(string)));
_sestevalniDT.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Popravek", typeof(bool)));
...SestevalniStevec.DataSource = _sestevalniDT;
SestevalniStevec.DataBind();
and this is from my aspx:
<ig:WebDataGrid ID="SestevalniStevec" runat="server" StyleSetName="Appletini" Width="640" Height="480" DataKeyFields="Naziv"> <Behaviors> <ig:ColumnResizing Enabled="true"> <ColumnSettings> <ig:ColumnResizeSetting EnableResize="true" /> </ColumnSettings> </ig:ColumnResizing> <ig:EditingCore> <Behaviors> <ig:CellEditing Enabled="true" EditModeActions-MouseClick="Single"> <CellEditingClientEvents EnteringEditMode="svoEnteringEditMode" /> </ig:CellEditing> </Behaviors> </ig:EditingCore> </Behaviors> </ig:WebDataGrid>
What should i add in order for the bool value to display as a checkbox?
Thanks for your help.
More specifically what i think i'm looking for is a way to use a column template like this: http://samples.infragistics.com/2010.1/WebFeatureBrowser/contents.aspx?showCode=true&t=WebDataGrid/Templates/WebDataGrid_TemplatesHeaderFooter.aspx~srcview.aspx?path=~srcview.aspx?path=WebDataGrid/Templates/WebDataGrid_TemplatesHeaderFooter.src
But i need to assign it to the appropriate column from the code-behind, not from aspx, and i don't know how to do this. I can't even access any datagrid columns from the codebehind.
I found an article about WebDataGrid editor providers and i thought i could make one with a checkbox. But this seems to be quite hard as well, this is the code i have so far:
namespace wCSRE.BLL{ public class CheckBoxProvider : EditorProvider<CheckBox> { protected override bool CanEditType(Type t) { string name = t.FullName; if (t.Name == "Boolean" || t.Name == "bool") return true; return false; } protected override string ClientObjectClassName { get { return "Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorProvider"; //return "wCSRE.BLL.CheckBoxProvider"; } } }}
But when i try to use it, i get "Specified method is not supported" from javascript.
Anyway i think an editorprovider can't be the right solution for me either, common sense suggests that there MUST be a way to turn on checkboxes for boolean values without this many complications. In fact it is strange that the WebDataGrid doesn't display the boolean value as a checkbox in the first place.
admin: don't mark this one as an answer either please
