27 Apr 20243 minutes to read

You can customize the column menu icon by overriding the default Tree Grid class .e-icons.e-columnmenu with a custom property content as mentioned below,

    .e-treegrid .e-columnheader .e-icons.e-columnmenu::before {
        content: "\e903";
    }

In the below sample, Tree Grid is rendered with a customized column menu icon.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule,ViewChild } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { TreeGridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid'
import { PageService, SortService, FilterService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid'
import {ButtonModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'



import { Component, OnInit,  ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { projectData } from './datasource';
import { TreeGridComponent, ColumnMenuService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-treegrid';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        TreeGridModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],

providers: [PageService,
                SortService,
                FilterService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
    providers: [ColumnMenuService],
    template: `<ejs-treegrid #treegrid [dataSource]='data' idMapping='TaskID' parentIdMapping='parentID' [treeColumnIndex]='1' [height]='315' showColumnMenu=true>
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field='TaskID' headerText='Task ID' width='70' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
            <e-column field='TaskName' headerText='Task Name' width='100' ></e-column>
            <e-column field='StartDate' headerText='Start Date' width='90' format="yMd" textAlign='Right' ></e-column>
            <e-column field='EndDate' headerText='End Date' width='90' format="yMd" textAlign='Right'></e-column>

            <e-column field='Priority' headerText='Priority' width='90'></e-column>
        </e-columns>
    </ejs-treegrid>`,
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    public data: Object[] = [];

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = projectData;
    }

}

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
