HEllo

I would like to display a lower case greek delta in the header of a grid view

in the view formatting event I use the following

                If e.CellElement.Text = "D" Then
                    e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.HeaderText = "d"
                    e.CellElement.Font = New Font("Symbol", MyPreference.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold)
                Else
                    e.CellElement.ResetValue(VisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
                End If

and it displays a latin lowercase "d"

However if I set a upper case latin D :

                If e.CellElement.Text = "D" Then
                    e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.HeaderText = "D"
                    e.CellElement.Font = New Font("Symbol", MyPreference.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold)
                Else
                    e.CellElement.ResetValue(VisualElement.FontProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local)
                End If

I do get a Greek uppercase Delta

Any clue why it does not work for the lowercase ?

Thanks a lot for any suggestion

Best regards

Hello, Pierre-Jean,

You can use the following approach in order to display a Greek small letter delta:

private void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.Text == "D")
    {
        //Greek small letter delta
        e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.HeaderText = Convert.ToString('\u03B4');

        //Greek capital leter delta
        //e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.HeaderText = Convert.ToString('\u0394');
    }

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Nadya
