I am printing a grid using the following code. But it prints the entire grid with search header and Delete image of the grid. Is there any way that I avoid search header and Delete column from the grid just on print page. Following is my code. Also in below code I had to use documnet.getelementbyid commnad to find the grid because $find is not working for me.
function
PrintRadGrid(radGridId){
var radGrid = document.getElementById(radGridId);
var sh = '<%= ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(rgrdUser.GetType(),String.Format("Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.{0}.Grid.{0}.css",rgrdUser.Skin)) %>';
var styleStr = "<html><head><link href = '" + sh + "' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></link></head>";
var htmlcontent = styleStr + "<body>" + radGrid.outerHTML + "</body></html>";
previewWnd.document.open();
previewWnd.document.write(htmlcontent);
previewWnd.document.close();
previewWnd.print();
}
Thanks,
Lubna.

You could hide the desired elements (columns, items) on the server:
protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ foreach (GridItem item in radGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(new GridItemType[] { GridItemType.Pager, GridItemType.FilteringItem })) item.Display = false; radGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("DeleteColumn").Visible = false; RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add("PrintRadGrid('" + radGrid1.ClientID + "')");}function PrintRadGrid(radGrid){ setTimeout(function () { .... window.location.href = window.location.href; }, 100);}Regards,

When I try to export grid to pdf it shows all hte columns except the last one. I tried to make it visible true explicitly but still its not showing the last column. Also the font style is not working. Following is the code.
protected
void btnPDF_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
rgrdUser.MasterTableView.ExportToPdf();
}
public
void ConfigurePDF()
{
rgrdUser.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData =
true;
rgrdUser.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging =
true;
rgrdUser.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow =
true;
rgrdUser.Columns.FindByUniqueName(
"DeleteColumn").Display = false;
rgrdUser.Columns.FindByUniqueName(
"ClientSelectColumn").Display = false;
rgrdUser.Columns.FindByUniqueName("Approved").Display = true;
foreach (GridDataItem item in rgrdUser.Items)
{
item.Style[
"font-size"] = "4px";
item.Style[
"font-family"] = "Arial Unicode MS"; //Set UNICODE font
item.Style[
"text-align"] = "center";
item.Style[
"background-color"] = "red";
}
}
Thanks,
Lubna.
Regarding the columns: Please try to use the Visible property instead of Display. Also I recommend that you try to export from another browser - Mozilla Firefox for instance.
As to the font-related problem: Try to replace Arial Unicode MS with Courier New and let me know whether the font is applied properly.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply. I think, in this case displaying of column is nothing to do with its visiible property. I just removed 1 column from the grid wihle exporting to pdf and it showed me the last column. Actually the width of grid is larger than the page. How can I adjust the page size of a pdf file.

Lubna.
There is strange behavior in IE which triggers when you have a col element that with visibility="hidden" - that is why I suggested that you use Visible="false" instead of Display="false" when hiding RadGrid columns.
As to the page width - please examine the following link:

I have been put hide the desired elements (columns, items) on the server:
protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridItem item in radGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(new GridItemType[] { GridItemType.Pager, GridItemType.FilteringItem }))
item.Display = false;
radGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("DeleteColumn").Visible = false;
RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add("PrintRadGrid('" + radGrid1.ClientID + "')");
}
however after i have closed the print window then the values as GridItemType.Pager, GridItemType.FilteringItem, GridItemType.CommandItem is not display again. How can I do fix it?
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.
