ListGrid with Panel inplace of header menu

[kislay]

Hi,

The ListGrid offers a column header menu, which is customizable as well . But is there any way to program it to drop a HTMLPane instead of a menu when the header menu button is clicked ? Can we control what kind of a widget/component is associated with the header menu button control , and can we change it to anything apart from a menu ?

Please help.

Thanks.

Well sort of, overriding the header button will be your issue because it isn't directly accessible. You can however just turn off the header context menu and add a header click handler which can have whatever logic you want. If you want to associate it with the button itself you'll need JSNI no question.

Thanks for the reply .

Is there any way to add a custom button in the header of a ListGrid ?

Well you can embed an html component within the 'title' for a listgrid field or header span. There isn't an easily accessible like getHeader() where you could then add your own smartgwt widgets to it. Though in JSNI you might have a chance to get at it.
