radgrid built-in export buttons

[Wilhelm]

Good day , i have tried to add the built-in export buttons to my radgrid, for some reason the are not showing. I have added the following tag under the tableview element

<CommandItemSettings ShowExportToWordButton="true" ShowExportToExcelButton="true"

                ShowExportToCsvButton="true" ShowExportToPdfButton="true"></CommandItemSettings>

Is there any other settings i have to enable for the built-in export buttons to work?. I would like to use the built in ones because i have many grids throughout my project and dont want to manually add 5 export buttons for every i grid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Please make sure that you have added the CommandItemDisplay property of the MasterTableView. Please take a look into the following code snippet I tried.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
    <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">
        <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToWordButton="true" ShowExportToExcelButton="true"
            ShowExportToCsvButton="true" ShowExportToPdfButton="true"></CommandItemSettings>
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="OrderID">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

Please provide your code if it doesn't help.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thank you very much! That was exactly what I needed

Is there a more complete example with export buttons styling available?

Hi Allen,

I'm sending a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate the built-in Export button. Alternatively, you can initiate an Export command using external buttons:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/exporting/excel-export/defaultcs.aspx

Hope this helps.
