Hi @HOUSSEM MAHJOUBI ,
Accroding to your description,how do you click in the gridview using button? And what's need you do to get the column header text?

I have created a demo that you could click on the column header and get the text using rowdatabound and javascript click event.Just like this:

  
      
          
              
                  
              
          
          
             
               
             
          
          
              
                
              
          
      
      

 function GetHeaderText(txt) {  
      a lert(txt);  
            }

Code-behind:

 protected void gv1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)  
        {  
         if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)  
            {  
                 foreach (DataControlFieldCell cell in e.Row.Cells)  
                  {  
                       cell.Attributes.Add("onclick", "[javascript]: GetHeaderText('" + cell.Text + "')");  //You need to remove [] around the word 'javascript'   
                  }  
            }  
        }  
                
Result:

Edited:

  Protected Sub gv1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)  
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header Then  
      
            For Each cell As DataControlFieldCell In e.Row.Cells  
                cell.Attributes.Add("onclick", "[javascript]:GetHeaderText('" & cell.Text & "')")  
            Next  
        End If  
    End Sub

Create another gridview and show the data
Since I don't know the relationship of gridviews' data,but I suggest you could create gridview in jquery and use ajax to fill data when you click the gridview column.
Just like this:

Code-behind:  
   cell.Attributes.Add("onclick", "test()");  

   
Public Shared Function test2() As String  
End Function

Jquery:

$(function () {  
            test();  
        });  
        function test() {  
            $.a jax({  
                type: "POST",  
                url: "Default.aspx/test2",  // call sql query in code behind   
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",  
                dataType: "json",  
                success: function(){  
                $("#gvProduct").append()// create gridview and fill data  
                 }  
                failure: function (response) {  
                    a lert(response.d);  
                },    
            });  
        }
