Im trying to get the values for sub columns in multi-column header grid.The markup is my grid below. I need to get teh value for "Q1Var".
Using this code in Initialize_Row says it cant find "Q1Var". Seems like It finds "QTR1" but not it sub columns.
e.Row.Items(Me.WdgCurrYear.Column("Q1Var").Index).Text = NumberFormatting.FormatData(e.Row.Items(Me.WdgCurrYear.Column("Q1Var").Index).Text, False, 2, True)
I will need to use this when they submit too. So a way to access these columns would be appreciated

Steve,
Did you read my reply? This is the same problem. Those sub columns do not exist in the Columns collection of the grid itself and therefore CANNOT be found that way. They are in the collection of an item in that collection. You either need to use the method I have given which recursively searches GroupField column collections for you or you need to find it yourself:
((GroupField)this.WdgCurrYear.Columns["QTR1"]).Columns["Q1amt"].CssClass = "DisableRow";
And bear in mind that setting properties in the sub classes will not work in the RTM version. It was a bug that has been fixed in the Service Release.

Thanks for the response. But how would in WdgCurrYear_LoadAccess these columns. I need to set style sheets on these columns based on data from the Database. I want to do something like this:
Me.WdgCurrYear.Columns("Q1amt").CssClass = "DisableRow"Currently I get
Any Suggestions would be great
Thanks

Hi Steve,
It looks like you are using VB. I'll give the answer in VB and it should be simple to change it. Basically, the Columns collection on the grid is only the top level columns (your metric, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and comment). If you want to find a sub column, you can either cast Q1 to a GroupField and get it out of its Columns collection, or the grid itself has a method to find a column based on a key (foreseeing this type of problem). Its called FindColumn and accepts a string.
this.WdgCurrYear.FindColumn("Q1Var")
That should be what you're looking for.
