Force a re-display of the grid/list view

[Dan]

I have a grid and a list view that I need to render with slightly different data based upon buttons a user will press.  The Bound data is not changing, just how I display it.  What I really need is to force the grid to fire off its Cell Formatting or Row Formatting events.  I'm hacking it right now by:

            radGridView1.EnableSorting = false;
            radGridView1.EnableSorting = true;

Which is doing what I want.  Is there a better way?

[Dan]

Stumbled upon the solution.  Depending upon what I'm doing I will use one of the following:

radGridView1.TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.ResetView);

or

radGridView1.TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.Reset);

Hi Dan,

Indeed, the Update method of the TableElement is the correct way to reset your UI.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

All the best,

If this is the way to re-display a radgridview, why is this NOT AVAILABLE as a choice in the latest version? There is NO "Update" capability for any element in the radgridview.

Hi William,

Thank you for writing.

The Update method is available and it can be called this way: 

this.radGridView1.TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.ResetView);

Please note that this forum thread discusses RadGridView for WinForms, in case you are using a different product please post your question in the relevant forums.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Using (GridView).TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.Reset) in the SelectionChanged event handler works well to unselect rows, but it forces the grid to return to the first row. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

 

I tried using (GridView).TableElement.Update(GridUINotifyAction.ResetView), but it had no effect.

 

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Thank you for writing.

If you would like to clear the selection in RadGridView you can call its ClearSelection method. If you are losing the current row at some point I can suggest to cache it and then set it programmatically:

• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/rows/selected-rows-and-current-row
• http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/selection/selecting-rows-and-cells-programmatically
