[sriparthu]

Is there any sample available for building a custom toolbar on gridview to add / edit rows,insert, delete and print? Any pointers is much appreciated.

Hello ,

Thank you for writing.

There is no appropriate sample that I can suggest for your case. One possible solution is to create a UserControl and place RadGridView and all the necessary toolbar elements in it. An alternative approach is to insert a  StackLayoutElement in the GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement. Here is a sample code snippet which result is illustrated on the attached screenshot:

StackLayoutElement stack = new StackLayoutElement();

RadButtonElement exportButton = new RadButtonElement();

exportButton.Text = "Export";

exportButton.Click += exportButton_Click;

RadButtonElement saveButton = new RadButtonElement();

saveButton.Text = "Save";

stack.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;

stack.StretchHorizontally = true;

stack.Children.Add(exportButton);

stack.Children.Add(saveButton);
stack.Margin = new Padding(0, 20, 0, 0);


this.radGridView1.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.Children.First().Children.Add(stack);

Note that this is just a sample approach and it may not cover all possible cases. Feel free to modify it on a way which suits your requirement best.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
