Excel Export Grid looses header

[Scott Durrett]

I'm trying to use the grid to export to excel.  After reviewing many different examples I am able to get the grid to work with a button, however, I want to use the little excel button on the grid located near the refresh.  Every example I've tried doesn't work for me.  When the button is clicked the grid flashes, and looses the header line that the button and refresh is on. 

I also loose the grid formatting and my edit links disappear. 

What am I missing?

Hello Scott,

This approach will work flawlessly except if you have multiple nested AJAX controls:

<script type="text/javascript">
   function onRequestStart(sender, args)
   {
       if (args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("ExportToExcelButton") >= 0)
           args.set_enableAjax(false);
   }
</script>

<telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server" ClientEvents-OnRequestStart="onRequestStart">
    <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
        <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">
            <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToExcelButton="true" />
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>
</telerik:RadAjaxPanel>

If the problem still persists, please submit a support ticket and attach a runnable copy of your project so I can debug it locally.

Daniel,

I'm not using the AjaxPanel, is that my problem?

[Daniel]

Hello Scott,

In almost all cases, this behavior is result of exporting from ajaxified button. I don't know whether you use RadAjaxPanel, RadAjaxManager or ASP.NET UpdatePanel  - if you post some sample code or provide some more information I could give more to-the-point suggestion.
