Hi Pankaj,

Please have a look at this code library project which demonstrates how to print the whole RadGrid excluding the surrounding controls/elements.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Shinu ,

I already looked there but this code is not able to solve my problem because it is opening a new window , but i want to open a print popup

the code on print click is

function PrintRadGrid(radGridId) { var radGrid = $find(radGridId); var previewWnd = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false); var sh = '<%= ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(gvReportUnit.GetType(),String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css",gvReportUnit.Skin)) %>'; var styleStr = "<html><head><link href = '" + sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>"; var htmlcontent = styleStr + "<body>" + radGrid.get_element().outerHTML + "</body></html>"; previewWnd.document.open(); previewWnd.document.write("<b><center>Custom Report</center></b>"); previewWnd.document.write(htmlcontent); previewWnd.document.close(); previewWnd.print(); previewWnd.close(); }

thanks

Hello,

Please make sure you are using the updated version of the code library. I just test it and on my side and it looks to work correctly. When I click the print button the print menu appear and allows me to print the grid. If I close the window by clicking the "x" button the print window disappear and the page refresh.

Hello Asutosh,

In order to export the hierarchical grid you could use the same code but you need to expand all items before printing the content. Regards the issue with exporting all data when having a paging, you need to remove the paging by setting AllowPaging to false and then print the grid.

Hi Asutosh,

A posslible solution is to use a HiddenFiled control to distinguish whether the print button is click and call the PrintRadGrid() function on client pageLoad event. For your convenience I prepared a small sample and attached it to this forum thread.

Hi Asutosh,

You can include all the Grids in the print button click event access each grid and set its properties which are necessary. Please check the code snippet:

JS:

function PrintRadGrid() {

//Access all the Grids

var radGrid1 = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>');

var radGrid2 = $find('<%= RadGrid2.ClientID %>');

var previewWindow = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);

var styleSheet =

'<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this, RadGrid1.GetType(), String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css", RadGrid1.Skin)) %>'

;

var baseStyleSheet = '<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this, RadGrid1.GetType(), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Grid.css") %>';

var htmlContent = "<html><head><link href = '" + styleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>";

htmlContent += "<link href = '" + baseStyleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";

//Add the contents of each Grid

htmlContent = htmlContent + "<body>" + getOuterHTML(radGrid1.get_element()) + "</body></html>";

htmlContent = htmlContent + "<body>" + getOuterHTML(radGrid2.get_element()) + "</body></html>";

previewWindow.document.open();

previewWindow.document.write(htmlContent);

previewWindow.document.close();

previewWindow.print();

if (!$telerik.isChrome) {

previewWindow.close();

}

C#:

//Print button click

protected void LinkButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//Set properties for first grid

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;

RadGrid1.AllowPaging = false;

RadGrid1.Rebind();

//Set properties for second grid

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;

RadGrid2.AllowPaging = false;

RadGrid2.Rebind();

HiddenField1.Value = "true";

}

Thanks,
Shinu

HI Asutosh,

You can try the following code snippet to call the client side function and if you don't want to print all the Grids pass the ID's of the Grid you want to print.

C#:

string script = "function f(){PrintRadGrid('" + RadGrid1.ClientID + "'); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);

Thanks,
Shinu

my script for printing is as below

function PrintRadGrid() {
var radGrid = $find('<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>');
var previewWindow = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);
var styleSheet = '<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this, RadGrid1.GetType(), String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css", RadGrid1.Skin)) %>';
var baseStyleSheet = '<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this, RadGrid1.GetType(), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Grid.css") %>';
var htmlContent = "<html><head><link href = '" + styleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>";

htmlContent += "<link href = '" + baseStyleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";
htmlContent = htmlContent + "<body>" + getOuterHTML(radGrid.get_element()) + "</body></html>";
previewWindow.document.open();
previewWindow.document.write(htmlContent);
previewWindow.document.close();
previewWindow.print();
if (!$telerik.isChrome) {
previewWindow.close();
}
}
and i have used following code in my button click event

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyDefaultExpanded = true;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;
RadGrid1.MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].HierarchyLoadMode = GridChildLoadMode.Client;
RadGrid1.AllowPaging = false;
RadGrid1.Rebind();
HiddenField1.Value = "true";
string script = "function f(){PrintRadGrid(); Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}Sys.Application.add_load(f);";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "key", script, true);

Hi Asutosh,

You need to rebind the gird after you expand all detail tables and then print the grid. Note that if you register a startup script it will be executed before displaying all the tables. That is why you need to use the approach from my previous reply. Note that you could pass the grid in the hidden fields in order to export only some of the grids.

Hello,

Since the window is an iframe element when you open a new window to print the grid this might break some of its functionality and this could cause the issue with not closing the window. I am afraid I could not provide you with a proper solution for this scenario as there isn't an appropriate event where you could close the window manually. Regards the second issue you could pass the grid id as an argument of the PrintRadGrid() function.This way you will be able to reuse the print function for all RadGrids.

Hello Asutosh,

I am afraid that this could not be set dynamically and you have to use a different function for each grid as the GetType method is a server side one.

Hi ,
I have referred your sample solution regarding the print option of RadGrid . Consider , If the scroll persist in the grid now the visible scroll area screen alone printing but we need to print all the elements in the grid (i.e,hided scroll area elements of grid also need to be Print)
> We don't need to expand all the child elements.
>Currently expanded items and hided items need to be print . Please give me the solution ASAP

thanks ,

Hello Jegan,

In such case you have to disable the scrolling before printing the grid. Keep in mind that hiding the scroll does not require a rebind of the grid but have to be done on the server by setting AllowSorting to false. After that you have to execute the script that will print the grid.
Another possible solution is to use the export to PDF feature of the grid. Please check out the following live example.

I have been searching for a method to print data in radGrid Telerik As following:

Code behind:

radGrid.CurrentPageIndex = 0;

radGrid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.AllowScroll = false;

radGrid.AllowPaging = false;

radGrid.AllowFilteringByColumn = false;

radGrid.MasterTableView.GroupsDefaultExpanded = true;

radGrid.Rebind();

foreach (GridItem item in radGrid.MasterTableView.GetItems(new GridItemType[] { GridItemType.Pager, GridItemType.FilteringItem }))

item.Display = false;

RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add("PrintRadGrid('" + radGrid.ClientID + "')");

JavaScript:

function PrintRadGrid() {

var radGridE = $find('<%= radGrid.ClientID %>');

var previewWindow = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);

var styleSheet = '<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this.Page, radGrid.GetType(), String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css", radGrid.Skin)) %>';

var baseStyleSheet = '<%= Telerik.Web.SkinRegistrar.GetWebResourceUrl(this.Page, radGrid.GetType(), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.Grid.css") %>';

var htmlContent = "<html><head><link href = '" + styleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>";

htmlContent += "<link href = '" + baseStyleSheet + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";

htmlContent = htmlContent + "<body>" + getOuterHTML(radGridE.get_element()) + "</body></html>";

previewWindow.document.open();

previewWindow.document.write(htmlContent);

previewWindow.document.close();

previewWindow.print();

if (!$telerik.isChrome) {

previewWindow.close();

}

The code is working well BUT it disables the Paging, FilteringItem and CommandItem to print all pages. Now I want a way to Paging, FilteringItem and CommandItem again without refreshing the page.

How to set Paging, FilteringItem and CommandItem to true again without refresh the page?

Hello Nguyen,

The Grid needs a postback in order to have enable/disable paging, so an additional postback is required to restore the paging.

Another option that would not require the additional postback is if you create and add another Grid with the same data and settings but with no Paging enabled, just for printing purposes. Then, once you call the printing function, you can hide this grid visually and set its Visible=false property on the next postback.
