Export to Excel from modal window

[Boris]

Dear Sirs!
I have the the RadGrid inside modal dialog window (I open it when calling the showModalDialog from javascript).
I want to export the data in this grid to Excel. For this:
1. I did the button and code behind window I write:
2. dgv.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;

    dgv.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel();

 

When clicking on tgeh button NOTHING happen.

Of course this works OK when working with the grid in regular page, not modal window

I want to know:
If there is any possibility to use exporting in Excel inside modal dialog?

Thank you very much in advance.

Boris

Hello Boris,


Did you invoke ExportToExcel() method to export the grid values to excel file?

Code:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;
    RadGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel();
}

Hello Shinu,

Yes I wrote just the same code that you supposed.

Hello Boris,

I already answered to your support ticket. In short, my suggestion is to avoid using the modal dialog as it is browser-dependent feature. I recommend that you use RadWindow instead - this way you will have better appearance and cross-browser compatibility.

Hello Shinu,
I understood, I changed my project to RadWindow, it works OK currently.
Only small disadvantage - it works bit slower than modal dialog.
