Hi I want to print radgrid but its not working when using on a usercontrol and then on master page.

please help.

I using the following code in my user control.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="printTestRadgrid.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebUserControls_Employees_printTestRadgrid" %>
    <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript">
        function PrintRadGrid() {
 
            debugger;
            var previewWnd = window.open('about:blank', '', '', false);
            var sh = '<%= Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(radGrid1.GetType(),"Telerik.WebControls.RadControls.Grid.Skins.Default.Styles.css") %>';
            sh = sh.replace("&t", "&t");
            var styleStr = "<html><head><link href = '" + sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link>";
            var htmlcontent = styleStr + "<body>" + window["radGrid1"].Control.innerHTML + "</body></html>";
            htmlcontent = htmlcontent.replace(/<script .*?>(.|\n)*?<\/script>/gi, "")
            previewWnd.document.open();
            previewWnd.document.write(htmlcontent);
            previewWnd.document.close();
            previewWnd.print();
            previewWnd.close();
        }
    </script>
    </telerik:RadCodeBlock>
     
     <telerik:RadAjaxPanel ID="RadAjaxPanel1" runat="server">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="topBar">
            <p class="headingText">
                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" type="button" Text="[ Print Grid ]"
                      Font-Underline="false" ForeColor="Black" OnClick="LinkButton1_Click" /></p>
            This code-library demonstrates how to print RadGrid without surrounding content<br />
        </div>
        <telerik:RadGrid ID="radGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Style="margin: 20px;"
            AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AllowFilteringByColumn="True" GridLines="None">
        </telerik:RadGrid>
    </div>
    </telerik:RadAjaxPanel>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:mobily_alexmarConnectionString %>"
         
    SelectCommand="SELECT [EmployeeID], [EmployeeNumber], [EmployeeStatus], [EmployeeName], [EmployeeNameArabic], [FatherName], [Gender], [MeritalStatus], [DateOfBirth], [Email], [PrimaryMobile], [SecondaryMobile], [CurrentAddress] FROM [tbl_Employee]">
    </asp:SqlDataSource>



and in the code behind

 foreach (GridItem item in radGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(new GridItemType[] { GridItemType.Pager, GridItemType.FilteringItem }))
            item.Display = false;
  RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add("PrintRadGrid('" + radGrid1.ClientID + "')");

please tell me soon
Thanks.


Also when i use radgrid inside a fieldset the ragrid loses its scrolling property and there will b no scrolling for radgrid.

um if you want to print - why not use... Telerik Reports?
reuse the dataset you bind to the grid

Hello Shahid,

I have followed your scenario and prepared a sample project for you demonstrating how the desired functionality can be implemented. You can find it attached to this message.

I hope it helps.

Mira,

Has anything changed since this post regarding support for a more robust printing mechanism for Rad Ajax Grid Controls?
 
I have evaluated the sample project that you attached in the last post here. I am encountering an issue where only one column out of two (the grid has two) are showing up in the print window. Your solution does work, just not completely in my case. I'm not sure what could be causing the issue. I am not doing anything out of the ordinary. I am binding a strongly typed list of objects to the grid, nothing really custom. Any pointers would be helpful.

Hello Daniel,

The approach from the Print RadGrid contents code library uses the rendered HTML of the RadGrid, so all rendered columns should be printed.

If the issue persists, please open a formal support ticket and send us a small working project, demonstrating your full setup and showing the unwanted behavior.
We will debug it locally and get back to you.

Kind regards,
Mira

Hi There,

This works well for me, but i wondered if there is a way to print 2 related grids. I have a master a child grid, if a user selects a row from the master table then the child grid is shown.

Is this possible?

Hi Stevie,

You could try combining the HTML code of both grids using exactly the same approach. Just modify this line and add the contents of the second grid here:
var htmlcontent = styleStr +
      "<body>" +
      $find('<%= radGrid1.ClientID %>').get_element().outerHTML +
      your grids here +
     "</body></html>";

Daniel

Hi, 

How could I modify the code to return all the records and not just the records in the page size? I would still want the grid to display the paging size but when the print button is clicked i would like to return all the records in a new window.

Thanks.

Actually, I just noticed that code prints all the records to a new window and also changes the original page's grid and displays all records. I would like to maintain the paging on the original grid, but display all records in new window. How can this be done?

Hi Jorge,

In this case you have to disable the paging, rebind the grid in order to load all the data and then printing the grid. Later on you have to enable the paging again. You could enable it on pageLoad client event by using a fireCommnad() function and specify a custom command.

Hi again, 

Actually there is another way. A colleague of mine pointed out that RadGrid's Excel export supports exporting as HTML, so we can use this to generate the HTML and write it to a new window for example. In other words, when we click on the  print button we change the target of the form to a new pop-up window and then we write the html generated to that window. Here's a snippet of what the print button event handler code would look like:

     protected void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        PrintHtml(RadGrid1, this.Response);
    }
 
    protected void PrintHtml(Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid grid, HttpResponse response)
    {
        grid.MasterTableView.AllowPaging = false;
        grid.MasterTableView.AllowSorting = false;
        grid.MasterTableView.AllowFilteringByColumn = false;
        grid.MasterTableView.CommandItemDisplay = GridCommandItemDisplay.None;
        grid.ClientSettings.Scrolling.AllowScroll = false;
 
        grid.Rebind();
 
        grid.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true;
        grid.ExportSettings.HideStructureColumns = true;
        grid.ExportSettings.Excel.Format = GridExcelExportFormat.Html;
 
        grid.GridExporting += (s, e) =>
        {
            response.ContentType = "text/html";
            response.Write(e.ExportOutput);
            response.End();
        };
 
        grid.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel();
    }

and in the markup you would need the following client side code:

<script>
    $('input[type = "submit"]').click(function () {
        if ($(this).attr('id') == $(<%= btnPrint.ClientID %>).attr('id')) {
            window.open('Print', 'Print', 'menubar=no,height=768,width=1366,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no');
            $('form').attr("target", "Print")
        }
        else {
            $('form').removeAttr("target");
        }
    });
</script>

Thanks for your help and hope this helps some one else out.

Hi Asutosh,

You need to disable the scrolling before print the grid. Also if you are using a paging you need to disable it either as Jorge demonstrates in his reply.
