  Hi,

  I have a FlexGrid with ODataCollectionView and the data sent to the client carries columns without spaces such as “ProjectShortName” and “ProjectName”:

  Sample partial OData response:

  
  {"@odata.context":"$metadata#Project","@odata.count":4,"value":[{"ProjectShortName":"Test Project Short Name","ProjectName":"Test Project Name"...
  
  

  I noticed that Wijmo automatically adds spaces between the capital letters when displaying column headers like so:

  

  It works fine for my purposes. My question is - where is the code which converts names and adds the spaces? I would like to reuse that same code or same logic for another purpose in my application.

  Thank you,
  
  Paul

  Hi Paul,

  You can use the toHeaderCase method of Wijmo for this:
