Chrome and Rad Grid Rendering issue

[Jelly Master]

Hi Just wondering if someone can help.

I have a strange issue with Chrome and the way it seems to render my rad grid.
Zibrant Test Site

In firefox 10.0.2, IE 7,8,9 the grid renders correctly but in Chrome it seems to create a grid with a massive width on it and also messes up the grouping panel section as well.  below is the grid.

 

<telerik:RadGrid ID="radGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnNeedDataSource="radGrid_NeedDataSource"
       AllowFilteringByColumn="True" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" ShowFooter="True"
       ShowGroupPanel="True" ShowStatusBar="True" CellSpacing="0" OnColumnCreating="radGrid_ColumnCreating"
       OnItemCommand="radGrid_ItemCommand" EnableLinqExpressions="false" Width="900px" >
       <ExportSettings IgnorePaging="True" ExportOnlyData="true" OpenInNewWindow="true"
           FileName="Event List" HideStructureColumns="true">
       </ExportSettings>

       <ClientSettings AllowColumnsReorder="True" AllowDragToGroup="True" AllowKeyboardNavigation="True">
           <Scrolling AllowScroll="false" EnableVirtualScrollPaging="True" />
           <Animation AllowColumnReorderAnimation="True" AllowColumnRevertAnimation="True" />
           <ClientEvents OnRowDblClick="RowDblClick" />
       </ClientSettings>
       <MasterTableView NoDetailRecordsText="No Events Currently Listed" NoMasterRecordsText="No Events Currently Listed"
           CommandItemDisplay="None" AllowMultiColumnSorting="True" EditMode="PopUp">
           <CommandItemSettings ExportToPdfText="Export to PDF" ShowAddNewRecordButton="False"
               ShowExportToExcelButton="True" ShowExportToCsvButton="True" ShowExportToPdfButton="True"
               ShowExportToWordButton="True" />
           <RowIndicatorColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter RowIndicator column" Visible="True">
           </RowIndicatorColumn>
           <ExpandCollapseColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter ExpandColumn column" Visible="True">
           </ExpandCollapseColumn>
           <Columns>

           </Columns>
           <EditFormSettings EditFormType="WebUserControl" UserControlName="~/Controls/EventEmailer.ascx"
               PopUpSettings-Modal="true" PopUpSettings-Height="500" PopUpSettings-Width="900" CaptionDataField="TitleOfEvent">
               <EditColumn FilterControlAltText="Filter EditCommandColumn column" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn1">
               </EditColumn>
           </EditFormSettings>
       </MasterTableView>
       <FilterMenu EnableImageSprites="False" EnableRoundedCorners="True">
       </FilterMenu>
   </telerik:RadGrid>

The columns are added at run time as I am using the google like filtering feature as demo'd on the site.

They are added like this:

if (!IsPostBack)
           {
               //clear items.
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Clear();
               //add events
               EventList = LoadEvents(CurrentStyle);


               CustomFilteringDropDown title = new CustomFilteringDropDown();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(title);
               AddGridColumns(ref title, "HtmlEncodeTitle", "Title", string.Empty, "portaltablelink", true, "TitleOfEvent", 400);

               CustomFilteringDropDown startDate = new CustomFilteringDropDown();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(startDate);
               AddGridColumns(ref startDate, "startDate", "Start", "ddd, dd MMM yy", string.Empty, false, "startDate", 100);

               CustomFilteringDropDown endDate = new CustomFilteringDropDown();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(endDate);
               AddGridColumns(ref endDate, "endDate", "End", "ddd, dd MMM yy", string.Empty, false, "endDate", 100);

               CustomFilteringDropDown town = new CustomFilteringDropDown();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(town);
               AddGridColumns(ref town, "Town", "Town", string.Empty, string.Empty, true, "Town", 150);

               CustomFilteringDropDown country = new CustomFilteringDropDown();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(country);
               AddGridColumns(ref country, "Country", "Country", string.Empty, string.Empty, true, "Country", 150);

               GridEditCommandColumn editColumn = new GridEditCommandColumn();
               radGrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(editColumn);
               editColumn.UniqueName = "EditCommandColumn";

               editColumn.ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.ImageButton;
               editColumn.EditImageUrl = "~/Styles/ClientDefault/Images/ContactUs/email_dialog_icon.png";
               editColumn.EditText = "Email Delegates this link";






           }

private void AddGridColumns(ref CustomFilteringDropDown item, string dataField, string headerText, string dataFormat, string cssClass, bool enableFilter, string groupByClause, int width)
       {

           item.DataField = dataField;
           item.UniqueName = dataField;

           item.HtmlEncode = false;
           item.Groupable = true;
           item.GroupByExpression = string.Format("{0} Group By {1}", groupByClause, groupByClause);
           item.AllowSorting = true;
           item.AllowFiltering = enableFilter;
           item.SortExpression = dataField;
           item.HeaderText = headerText;
           item.DataFormatString = "{0:" + dataFormat + "}";
           item.ItemStyle.CssClass = cssClass;
           item.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(width);
           item.FilterControlWidth = Unit.Pixel(width);



       }

If anyone can shed any light on why this is happening it would be great.

Well update.

Turns out that it was a style issue with the custom filter control being added. It seems that adding a style element of width:100% to the control was causing it to ignore all other styles. setting this to the table cell width has corrected the issue.

Please can a mod close this down.

Hello David,

Could you tell me the specific property you changed and the value you provided.

I'm having this same issue but I can't find how to correct it.

In advance, many thanks.

[Galin]

Hi Gabriel,

To resolve the issue in Chrome you should fix the width of the filter's input by setting the property FilterControlWidth to pixel value.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Thank you Galin! Problem Solved!

Hi,

I've been trying to do this programmatically because my columns are autogenerated and I can't predict the number and type of columns. Any clue why this code wouldn't work ?

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs) Handles ResultGrid.ItemDataBound
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        For Each col As GridColumn In ResultGrid.MasterTableView.AutoGeneratedColumns
            If col.ColumnType = "GridDateTimeColumn" Then
                col.FilterControlWidth = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit(100, UnitType.Pixel)
            End If
        Next
    End If
End Sub

[Galin]

Hi Simon,

You should do this onColumnCreated event and set the width on e.Column.FilterControlWidth, e.g.

If e.Column.ColumnType = "GridDateTimeColumn" Then
    e.Column.FilterControlWidth = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit(100, UnitType.Pixel)
End If

I hope hope helps.

Thank you,

This worked perfectely !

I followed the suggested method of setting the "FilterControlWidth" of the columns, in IE9 and FireFox the column widths appear as I have indicated.  However, in Chrome/Safari my custom column widths are not observed and the widths of each column are the default width, causing the RadGrid to be much wider than needed/desired.  Please have a look at my code and tell me if I am simply doing something wrong, the last three columns are the ones with custom widths.-Thank You

Hello Justin,

I have tested the provided markup and it works as expected, even in Chrome. Are you using custom CSS or something else, which I need to replicate the issue?

There does seem to be a problem with Chrome and the rendering of the automated filter controls. The appear fine, with width in the headers. The problem is the browser window places a horizontal scroll at the bottom in Chrome only. Testing this with about 25 columns it appears great in the grid.

<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" Width="300" Height="300" ID="RadGridMembers" AllowFilteringByColumn="true">
    <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="true" >
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

 

...however if the AllowFilteringByColumn is turned on, it thows the scroll bar in the browser. Grid has its bar, but the window should not. If its removed - AllowFilteringByColumn='False' it removes the window horizontal scroll bar.

Anyone in support at Telerik? You used to be pretty responsive. What happened? This looks to be a bug and we need a work around...

[SDI]

Telerik, seems you have dropped the ball on this one. Can you provide a workaround for this? Its been over a month since this was brought to your attention. Can you please address it?

[SDI]

It is now August and still no response. Its been 4 months since my original question. Its not like I've been hammering you daily for a response. Can you please take a look at this and give us a workaround?  Our clients are stuck in scrollbar hell.

Hello,

I tried to reproduce the reported problem with version 2017.2.711 (latest one) under the latest version of Google Chrome, but to no avail. For your convenience I recorded a video demonstrating my test which you can see at: https://www.screencast.com/t/NVPiStKLO. 

Since the problem could be due to some custom CSS on your end, my advice is to examine the problematic page stylesheet as well as using the browser dev toolbar HTML inspector to find out which class or CSS property is enabling the scroller.

Yet another suggestion is to test the latest version of the control R2 2017 SP2.

If you need further assistance, please recreate the problem in a simple working project and send it via the attachment functionality of the support ticketing system.

Best regards,
Rumen
