My site has a lot of grids for which we do specialized formatting, especially for date/time and currency data. Although it works to use GridTemplateColumns and use Eval statements to do the special formatting, it's becoming increasingly unwieldy to write all those template columns. Therefore, we have created a column class inherited from GridBoundColumn. The primary purpose of this column is to override FormatDataValue with our custom formatting:

Note: HasValue = !String.IsNullOrEmpty; and Dates.GetShortDateTimeString and Cultures.FormatCurrencyValue are our standard formatting functions for dates and currencies, respectively. LanguageCodeField is a property that we added to our column in order to allow our DataTable to specify different currencies/date formats on a row-by-row basis, and we assume that it will eval to culture strings like "en-US".

Our big problem now is that the Grid Footers aren't applying our formatting. They apparently don't run through FormatDataValue. Here's the code for our column and the GridBoundColumn and I've attached a screen shot that shows the difference when LangaugeCodeField evaluates to "en-GB" even though my computer's culture is the US. (Note: We only enable the footer when LanguageCodeField is the same for all rows -- that's not an issue. If we need to aggregate it, too, we can use "first" with no problem.)

As you can see in the screen shot, the "Footer Text" property and CssClass are applying properly (Yay!), but we need the Total itself to be formatted in the correct currency. Please help us figure out what to override or what event we have to tie into in order to make custom formatting work for the footer of our inherited column.

Hi,

We are using rad input fields throughout our application.  At various times, we disable these fields based on security, etc.  We tried the sample code below in IE and Safari.  The two browsers display differently.  In IE the input values are still readable, however in Safari they are too light.  Is there a way to update the .riDisabled class so the color can be darker?  We need to update this across our application.

Thanks,
Lindsay

Hi,
I am usiing radgrid in one of my page. In this grid there are 2 columns . One of the column is datetime. I have used GridDateTime column. There are custom filter and custom paging in this page. when I filter some data in datetime column like GeaterThanEqualTo the datasource take correct records from sql query. After binding the grid and setting virtual count the Grid1.Items.Count is showing wrong number of records or Grid1.MasterTableview.items.count also shows incorrect no of records. Paging is showing perfectly. But record displayed is incorrect. Also the datasource shows correct rows. Please provide solution for this as soon as possible.

Hi Telerik,

I am messing around with some proof of concept stuff and I was wondering if it possible to treat a RadWindow as a RadDock such that it is dockable, or store the RadWindow inside of the RadDock in such a way that a Silverlight control would be able to run inside of the RadWindow.

Ideally, the RadWindow would not be visible, only the content inside of it is visible. Really, what I want is a TargetURL for a RadDock.

Is something along these lines possible? I've got the window open with our silverlight running inside of it, but it's not pinned to the dock.

I'm trying to setup paging for RadGrid and it works fine in some scenarios but there are 3 issues with it:

@  Load the page initially, go to the second page, then go back to the first page; the data is not updated so shows the second page data!

@ Load the page initially, change the page size from 10 to 50. expect: the page should immediately be reloaded with the new page size. actual: no change. generally something wrong with the first page!

@ pdf icon disappears when clicking any page number apart from the first. It appears again when the first page number is clicked but the data has the above issue.

Maybe it's not configured properly (it's generated using my RadGridBuilder class). I have set the below properties:

            this.RadGrid.AllowPaging = this.AllowPaging;
            this.RadGrid.PagerStyle.Mode = GridPagerMode.NextPrevAndNumeric;

private void RadGridNeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
        {
            this.RadGrid.DataSource = this.DataSource;
        }

My Build method is responsible to buld the RadGrid basically:

 public RadGrid Build()
        {
            this.DataSource = GetDataSource();

            SetImmediateProperties();

            SetMasterTableView();

            ConfigureExportSettings();

            this.RadGrid.Rebind();

            return this.RadGrid;
        }

Why do I have the above issues and how to resolve them?

After further investigation, it's clarified that PageIndexChanged event is never raised when the page number 1 is clicked. Not sure why?

Very much appreciated.

I need to add user names and their appointments in the timeline view so in order to achieve that I am adding ResourceTypes to the scheduler in the following manner:


As soon as I add the <ResourceTypes> part the scheduler navigation stops working (Day, Week, Month, Timeline and others). Would could be causing this behavior? Thanks

Hello,

I have a telerik grid that contains japonese text in its columns contents.
It's ok, but when the user try to use the default functionallity to export the content to pdf format, the japonese characters are showed as "#" characters.

How can I fix this?

Regards
