Hyperlink in cells

[Iwan]

hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to add a clickable hyperlink to a cell, currently I receive the contents from a SQL backend, check if the value contains a link and add it as a cell.Link, it currently shows them as links but they are not clickable, what pony trick am i missing? thanks for you advise. ps: this is in C#

 

if (cellValue.Contains("http://")) {
   cell.Link = cellValue;
}

 

kind regards, iwan

Hello Iwan,

To open a new page when clicking on a cell link, you should first select the cell and then click on the link for it to work. Double-clicking would also work to open the link in a new page. Here is a screencast demonstrating the explained behavior: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFi0XUFJsf.

var cellValue = "https://www.telerik.com/";

var cell = new Cell() { Index = columnIndex, Value = cellValue };
if (cellValue.Contains("http://") || cellValue.Contains("https://"))
{
    cell.Link = cellValue;
}
row.AddCell(cell);

Hi Peter, yes that is the expected behaviour i would like to see, but for some reason, it is refusing to do so, see my screencast here, with the behaviour of my spreadsheet and hyperlinks

Hello Iwan,

Thank you for the further details and screencast, it helped us replicate the problem. 

This issue is caused by the fact that the filter element is over the link element and when you click the link you actually click the filter overlay. We fixed it for the R3 2018 release which is due mid-September. Meanwhile, you can use the following workaround: 

<style>
    .RadSpreadsheet .k-spreadsheet-filter {
        z-index:50;
    }

    .RadSpreadsheet .rssActiveCell {
        outline-color: transparent !important;
        z-index: 10;
    }
</style>

As a small token of gratitude for helping us identify the issue, we have updated your Telerik points.

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for providing a work around and I'll be looking forward to the R3 2018 release.

Kind regards,
