RadGrid, Export To PDF trouble

[Kiwi]

Hello.
When exporting to PDF first column of the table is too narrow. How to set the width of it? use MasterTableView.GetColumn("").HeaderWidht does not help.
Thanks

Hi Kiwi,

You can set the HeaderStyle-Width property of the column as shown below. If this doesn't help, please provide your code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="OrderID" HeaderStyle-Width="200px">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Thanks,

Hello,

If you want to set width only export time then.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExportToPdfCommandName)
        {
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ID").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
            RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ID").ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
        }
    }

<Columns>
                   <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" UniqueName="ID" HeaderText="ID"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                   <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
               </Columns>

Jayesh Goyani, the problem is that it sets the specified width next column. For example, if a column "ID" to specify the width 300px, these will be applied 300px to the next colimn "name"..

Hi Kiwi,

Below is a sample code snippet that i tried and the header width is set correctly. Please try it, if this doesn't help, provide your code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="True"
    PageSize="5" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
    OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand">
    <ExportSettings IgnorePaging="true" ExportOnlyData="true">
    </ExportSettings>
    <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
        <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToPdfButton="true" />
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" UniqueName="ID" SortExpression="ID">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="Name" SortExpression="Name">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    dynamic data = new[] {

            new { ID = 1, Name ="Name1"},
            new { ID = 2, Name = "Name2"},
            new { ID = 3, Name = "Name3"},
            new { ID = 4, Name = "Name4"},
            new { ID = 5, Name = "Name5"},
            new { ID = 6, Name ="Name6"},
            new { ID = 7, Name = "Name7"},
            new { ID = 8, Name = "Name8"},
            new { ID = 9, Name = "Name9"},
            new { ID = 10, Name ="Name10"},
            new { ID = 11, Name ="Name11"},
            new { ID = 12, Name = "Name12"},
            new { ID = 13, Name = "Name13"},
            new { ID = 14, Name = "Name14"},
            new { ID = 15, Name = "Name15"}
        };

    RadGrid1.DataSource = data;
}

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExportToPdfCommandName)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ID").HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(50);
    }
}
