Data Column

A BootstrapGridViewDataColumn is a type of a grid column that automatically determines the actual column type (and, consequently, the control used for both displaying and editing cell data) based on the type of a data field to which a column is bound:

  • A Date Edit column is created for the DateTime data type
  • A Check Box column is created for the Bool data type
  • A Text column is created for any other data type

Hyperlink Column

A BootstrapGridViewHyperLinkColumn column represents a data column with hyperlink functionality. You can access settings of a displayed hyperlink using the PropertiesHyperLinkEdit property.

By default, if no display text is provided for a hyperlink through the corresponding settings (HyperLinkProperties.Text, HyperLinkProperties.TextField), the hyperlink displays the URL obtained from the column's data field. You can disable this behavior by setting the BootstrapGridViewHyperLinkColumn.ShowUrlAsDisplayText property to false.

Command Column

A BootstrapGridViewCommandColumn is a special column type intended for displaying commands that allow end-users to switch the Grid View to the edit mode, update data, delete rows, etc. A command column allows multiple items to be displayed within a cell. In this demo, the Edit button, the Delete button and the row selection check box are enabled by setting the ShowEditButton, ShowDeleteButton and ShowSelectCheckbox properties to true.

In addition to standard command items, a Command Column can display custom command buttons. The collection of custom command buttons to display is available through the column's CustomButtons property. Each button within the collection is represented by a BootstrapGridViewCommandColumnCustomButton object. You can process a click on a custom button in the client-side CustomButtonClick event.

  • args.buttonID - Identifies the clicked custom button.
  • args.processOnServer - Specifies whether the event should be finally processed on the server side.
  • args.visibleIndex - Identifies the row whose custom button has been clicked.
  • CustomButton.ID - Specifies a string indentifier of the custom button.
  • GridView.CustomButtonCallback - Occurs on the server side when a custom command button has been clicked provided that args.processOnServer is set to true (the default value).
