How would that be possible to overwrite the PdfExport functionality?

[Pooya]

I'd need to display an Export to Pdf icon to the RadGrid control (CommandItemSettings.ShowExportToPdfButton = true) but with a custom implementation of my own as I'm using an external tool for the export to pdf.

How would that be possible to overwrite the default PdfExport functionality?

Please advise.

Many thanks,

Hello Pooya,

Try the following CSS:

<style type="text/css">
   .RadGrid_Default .rgExpPDF
    {
     background:url(../Images/customimage.jpg) !important;
    }
</style>

Thanks,
Princy.

I talked about its functionality implementation; didn't mean the the icon.

 I'd like to attach an EventHandler of my own to the Click event of the Export button and implement my own export implementation rather than the default one..

I have gone this far but don't know how to remove the existing click event handlers:

protected virtual void RdGridItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            var itemType = e.Item.ItemType;
            switch (itemType)
            {                
                case GridItemType.CommandItem:
                    {
                        var gridCommandItem = e.Item as GridCommandItem;

                        var exportToPdfButton = gridCommandItem.FindControl("ExportToPdfButton") as Button;
                         
                        // not sure: exportToPdfButton.RemoveAllEventHandlers();
                         
                        exportToPdfButton.Click += ExportToPdfButtonClick;

                        PageUtil.RegisterPostBackControl(exportToPdfButton);
                            
                        break;
                     }
                    default:
break;
                    }
            }
        }

Or do you recommend I create a new Custom Link Button? How to add it to the CommandItems section?

Thanks,
