Display item count in Status Bar

[Dasha]

Dear Support,

Is there a way I can display the item count in the Status Bar or the grid when paging is disabled?  When paging is enabled, theres a message such as " 91 items in 7 pages" (like here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/groupby/defaultcs.aspx), but is there a way i can have it say something like "Displaying 91 items."?  I know I can make use of column aggregation, but I'm wondering specifically about the Status Bar.

Hello Dasha,

One suggestion is you can get the total items count in item event and then set the count in prerender event. Here is the sample code that I tried which worked as expected.

C#:

int i;
protected void RadGrid1_ItemEvent(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.EventInfo is GridInitializePagerItem)
{
   i = (e.EventInfo as GridInitializePagerItem).PagingManager.DataSourceCount;
}
}
protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.StatusBarSettings.ReadyText = i.ToString() ;
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

Thanks,
Princy

Still can't get it to show up.  Could it be because I'm using Advance Databind?

Hello Dasha,

Unfortunately the required functionality could not be achieved per your requirements. After Q1 2009 the StatusBar item was modified and it could only appear if you have paging enabled for the RadGrid control.
Excuse us for any inconvenience this may lead. We will update our documentation to add this statement as soon as possible.

I am looking for a similar functionality to show the total item count in the grid with out any paging. is that possible with Q2 2011 version of controls for radgrid. If not, any suggestions on alternative approaches that this can be achieved.

Hello,

As I previously mentioned the required functionality could only be achieved in case the paging is enabled for the RadGrid control. So I would suggest you to enable the paging feature for the RadGrid control in order to show the item count status bar.

I got the status bar to show without paging information by doing the following:

.Pageable(page => page

    .PreviousNext(false)

    .Numeric(false)

 

Now I get the status bar with how many items I have without showing the paging information which I don't need because my grid is scrollable.

I forgot one thing, in the .DataSource you need to set your PageSize to something you'll never reach since it seems to default to 10 items if you don't

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                    .Ajax()
                    .ServerOperation(false)
                    .PageSize(10000))
