Get a column name from grid with multi-coulmn headers
posted

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

    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.

    regards,
