Align Grid export buttons on the left.

[Mark]

Hi,
Whenever we set ShowExportToExcel/Csv/Pdf = true, in the command item settings, the buttons are displayed right corner, in my case top-right corner. I want to place the buttons on the top-left corner of the grid. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

One suggestion to customize command item content using CommandItemTemplate. Check the following help documentation which explains more about this.
Command item template.

Thanks,

Hi Princy,
    Thanks for your reply. I was hoping that the inbuilt export buttons could be aligned so that i dont have to handle the events raised by the controls in the command template. Please let me know if there is a way to align the inbuilt export buttons.

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

The command item consists of two table cells. I'm afraid there is no easy way to swap the cells or move the buttons from the one cell to another.
The easiest way is to use a template as suggested by Princy. Actually it is quite easy to mimic the built-in buttons so you may find this approach suitable for your needs:

<CommandItemTemplate>
    <table class="rcCommandTable" width="100%">
        <td>
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgExpCSV" CommandName="ExportToCSV" />
            <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgExpPDF" CommandName="ExportToPdf" />
        </td>
        <td style="float: right">
            <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text=" " CssClass="rgAdd" CommandName="InitInsert" />
        </td>
    </table>
</CommandItemTemplate>
