AllowCheckAll option without removing caption

Hello, 

I’ve added a check box to a grid and used the AllowCheckAll option to create a check box in the column header to allow all options to be checked. As shown in the post below.

It worked BUT the column header caption disappears. Very often a check box is used in a processing screen, and the first field in the grid, so not having a caption isn’t a big deal. In my case, the checkbox isn’t at the start of the grid, it’s half way through. Without a caption it’s difficult for users to understand what the field is for. 

Is there any way to make the system display a caption and a check all box?

It may not be what you imagined but a good alternative can be to instead of the AllowCheckAll option, add a custom action to the grid that checks/unchecks that field in all the records. This way the user has that shortcut and you get to keep the column label.

+1 because custom action can truly select ‘all’ instead of ‘all on current page’
