So I figured out how to have multiple radgrids and allow them to export to one page, which is great!
But I have an issue, I need the grids to fit on the screen of the web browser and they aren't.
I have two radgrids, one that has two columns and another that has about 10+ columns underneath. They are both within a radgrid, when I try to reduce the width nothing works, I have a scroll bar on the bottom the of browser which I don't want. The width of both radgrids are at 100% but the grid extends the screen to double instead of 100% being the screen itself, therefore not working properly.
Is there any way to have the scroll bar on one of the radgrids and not both? I have tried the Client Settings with Scrolling and it's working but I have 4 columns missing. I have also provided some code:

Can I get some help?

Hi LiZ0r,

I reviewed your code snippets and noticed that the bound column with unique name "AirlineNameForExport" has Display = false setting which will hide it in the grid when rendered and exclude it from the exported document. Additionally, the hyperlink inside the first template column in the second grid will be stripped when you choose ExportOnlyData = true.

Can these details be related to the reason for the abnormality you observed? Note that you can use the tips from this section of the documentation (paragraph 'Exporting GridButtonColumn/GridTemplateColumn/GridHyperLinkColumn data') to display these columns when needed.

Concerning the missing footers:
Can you please share with us how you generate the footer aggregate values? I suppose you calculate them dynamically since you do not seem to use the declarative footer aggregates supported by our web grid. Do you use the programmatic approach from here for this purpose? I will appreciate if you elaborate a bit more on this subject and which values are missing from the footer in order to research the matter additional and provide more definite explanation/solution.

Hi Sebastian,

First I wanna start off by saying thank you for helping me with my problem.

I have the bound column as "AirlineNameForExport" Display = false because I was hoping for the hyperlink to be shown on the radgrid, but when exported to have just the column name. I had the following to lines in the code behind page:

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("AirlineName").Display = false;

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("AirlineNameForExport").Display = true;

But was receiving an error advising that RadGrod2 doesn't exist, and I think this is because it is nested in another grid.
How would I go around this so that I am able to export those columns? I'm not sure if this is the reason for the observed abnormality but I removed it for now because it wasn't working properly.

The missing footers, I managed to fix by setting ShowFooter="True" which show the sum of each column.
I forgot to put in this line, but now that it is in the footers are able to be viewed.

Another problem I am having is that,when I set the width to be 100% I expect to be the size of the page, but it will stretch over and then there will be a horinzontal toolbar on the browser, is this because I have too many columns? Also, I am having difficulties export to PDF or Excel, it just won't export like it should....

Hello LiZ0r,

To locate the second nested grid and display its hidden column/replace the hyperlink column with hidden GridBoundColumn before the export operation takes place, you can use this code inside the LinkButton2's OnClick server handler:

    
            foreach(GridDataItem dataItem in RadGrid0.MasterTableView.Items)  
        
            {  
        
              (dataItem.FindControl("RadGrid2") as RadGrid).MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("AirlineName").Display = false;  
        
              (dataItem.FindControl("RadGrid2") as RadGrid).MasterTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueName("AirlineNameForExport").Display = true;   
        
              //show or hide other columns in the same manner  
        
            }

How to set the grid to fit the height of the browser window you can see from the sample project in this code library entry:

http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/setting-100-height-and-resize-on-container-resize-for-grid-with-scrolling-and-static-headers.aspx

How to customize the exported document appearance you can find out from the information in these resources:
