[Solved] RadGrid images disabled after Export to Word

[Nishat Mazhar]

When i export to "Word/CSV/Excel" the images on the grid are getting disabled. I have a RadGrid with FilteringByColumn enabled. This makes the grid to display a Filtering Menu which has a text box and an image button which can be clicked to filter. I also have buttons which allows the user to click and download to different formats. Once i download, the filtering image button gets disabled and does not show the filtering menu. Please can anybody show me how to enable the Filtering Menu.

Telerik team, Please can you help....

Hello Nishat,

Please try to modify your button click event this way:

void btnDownloadToWord_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Export("Word");
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToWord();
}

Let me know whether this helps.

No. This did not help. I am still not able to filter columns after Exporting. When i click on the filter image button it does not open the menu.

Hello Nishat,

I'm afraid I ran out of ideas as to what could be wrong - this is not a common problem.
Could you please provide a runnable version of your project so I can debug it locally? You can attach it to a formal support ticket (with reference to this thread).

Thanks Daniel. But were you able to reproduce this problem in your test application?
Thanks

Hello Nishat,

Unfortunately we couldn't reproduce the problem on our end. In most of the cases we could suggest a workaround if we have a runnable project that demonstrates the problem.

I will do my best to provide a fix for this behavior if you could attach a runnable demo.
