Buttons in header of grid

[sheykc]

Is there a way to create a button in the header of a grid? My users want to click this button and have all the checkboxes below it either check or uncheck, like it did in their old system which used tables.

Thanks.

Yes you have to create the column as a template column. Then edit the template and add the button to the HeaderTemplate column.

Cool.. I was wondering if that would work.

Thanks!

Can you use normal code behind for this button? MIne doesn't appear to be firing at all.

This is the code in html:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Delete">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="tdheader"></HeaderStyle>
<HeaderTemplate>
asp:Button ID="btnDelete" Runat="server" Text="Delete"></asp:Button>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkDelete" Checked='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DeleteItemFlag")%>' Runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="Delete_Clicked" autopostback="True">
</asp:CheckBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Trying to call this in the code behind:

Private Sub btnDelete_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDelete.Click

End Sub

You could use the onItemCommand event like in this example:

That's pretty close to what I did. I just call a method in the onclick.
