Hello Rui Martins,

Could you please elaborate on the problem? What kind of setting would you like to restore to default state? When would you like the restore to take place?

Best wishes,

hi Milan,

i had made a GrdiViewHeaderMenu where i can, for example, put my columns Visibility, not visibily and change the initial positions.
i made it based on your examples.
http://localhost:4107/Default.aspx#GridView/HeaderContextMenu and http://localhost:6519/Default.aspx#GridView/SaveLoadSettings

So now i want to give the user an option to restore the default settings (like add a menu item on the context menu)

thanks

Hello Rui Martins,

Following the basic idea shown in our online documentation for Save/Load GridView Layout, you can add additional properties of the column that need to be saved - in your case IsVisible and DisplayIndex. You may add them in the RadGridViewSettings class and then use them in the two methods SaveState() and LoadState(). For example:

public class ColumnSetting : PropertySetting
    {
        int displayIndex;
        public int DisplayIndex
        {
            get
            {
                return displayIndex;
            }
            set
            {
                displayIndex = value;
            }
        }
    }

public virtual void LoadState()
{
    try
    {
        Settings.Reload();
    }
    catch
    {
        Settings.Reset();
    }
    if (this.grid != null)
    {
    grid.FrozenColumnCount = Settings.FrozenColumnCount;
        if (Settings.ColumnSettings.Count > 0)
    {
        grid.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
        grid.Columns.Clear();
        foreach (ColumnSetting setting in Settings.ColumnSettings)
        {
        GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();
        column.UniqueName = setting.UniqueName;
        column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding(setting.PropertyName);
        column.Header = setting.Header;
        column.IsVisible = setting.IsVisible;
        column.DisplayIndex = setting.DisplayIndex;
        ....
        }

Then, depending on your requirements and the exact settings you want to save, you may play around with the method Current_Exit(object sender, EventArgs e) and the Loaded event.
I am sending you a sample project illustrating the proposed solution.

thanks Maya,

 i understand what you said but i have another problem now.

I did a class GridViewHeaderMenu.cs where i create a ColumnHeader ContextMenu (not a button) so when i click in the option "Restore Default"  the program goes to here in my GridViewHeaderMenu.cs

void OnMenuOpened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

          {

              RadContextMenu menu = (RadContextMenu)sender;

              GridViewHeaderCell cell = menu.GetClickedElement<GridViewHeaderCell>();

 

              if (cell != null)

              {

                  menu.Items.Clear();

 

                  RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem() { Header = "Restore Default" };

                  menu.Items.Add(item);

                 

                   

                  item = new RadMenuItem() { Header = "Choose Columns:" };

                  menu.Items.Add(item);

 

                  // create menu items

                  foreach (GridViewColumn column in grid.Columns)

                  {

                      RadMenuItem subMenu = new RadMenuItem()

                      {

                          Header = column.Header,

                          IsCheckable = true,

                          IsChecked = true,

 

                          //SubmenuHeaderTemplateKey = null

                      };

 

                      // bind IsChecked menu item property to IsVisible column property

                      subMenu.SetBinding(RadMenuItem.IsCheckedProperty,

                          new Binding("IsVisible") { Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay, Source = column });

 

                      item.Items.Add(subMenu);

                  }

              }

              else

              {

                  menu.IsOpen = false;

              }

          }

 

          void OnMenuItemClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

          {

              RadContextMenu menu = (RadContextMenu)sender;

 

              GridViewHeaderCell cell = menu.GetClickedElement<GridViewHeaderCell>();

              RadMenuItem clickedItem = ((Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs)e).OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;

              GridViewColumn column = cell.Column;

 

              if (clickedItem.Parent is RadMenuItem)

                  return;

 

              string header = Convert.ToString(clickedItem.Header);

 

              using (grid.DeferRefresh())

              {

                  Telerik.Windows.Data.SortDescriptor sd = (from d in grid.SortDescriptors

                                                            where d.Member == column.UniqueName

                                                            select d).FirstOrDefault();

 

                  if (header.Contains("Restore Default"))

                  {

                       

                    //Here i wish to have the code that permit me to restore the original Grid...

                  }
...

So is there anyway to do this like that, pass an event handler for example?
or i have to create the ColumnHeader contextMenu on my Grid Xaml file? or a button like you did?

i did a columnHeaderContextMenu following your example here: http://localhost:6519/Default.aspx#GridView/HeaderContextMenu

thanks in advance,

Rui M.

Hello Rui Martins,

A possible approach in this case would be to define an Action in the GridViewHeaderMenu class:

public static Action OnRestoreSettingRequestedAction
{
    get;
    set;
}

Then in the OnMenuItemClick method implement the following logic in case the element of the ContextMenus is RestoreDefaultSettings:

void OnMenuItemClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    RadContextMenu menu = (RadContextMenu)sender;

    GridViewHeaderCell cell = menu.GetClickedElement<GridViewHeaderCell>();

    RadMenuItem clickedItem = ((RadRoutedEventArgs)e).OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;

    GridViewColumn column = cell.Column;

    if (clickedItem.Parent is RadMenuItem)

            return;

 

    string header = Convert.ToString(clickedItem.Header);

    
using (grid.DeferRefresh())

{

    Telerik.Windows.Data.SortDescriptor sd = (from d in        grid.SortDescriptors where d.Member == column.UniqueName select   d).FirstOrDefault();

    if (header.Contains("Sort Ascending"))

    {

    if (sd != null)

    {

        grid.SortDescriptors.Remove(sd);

    }

    grid.SortDescriptors.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Data.SortDescriptor()

    {

            Member = column.UniqueName,

        SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending

    });

    }

    ......     

 }

 if (header.Contains("Restore Default Settings"))

 {

       if (OnRestoreSettingRequestedAction != null)

       {

          OnRestoreSettingRequestedAction();

         }

 }

}

 And lastly, in the constructor of the MainPage:

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    Application.Current.Exit += new EventHandler(Current_Exit);
    this.playersGrid.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(playersGrid_Loaded);

    GridViewHeaderMenu.OnRestoreSettingRequestedAction = () =>
    {
        primarySettings.LoadState();
    };
}

Hi,

Using this, it is possible for the grid to show default settings right away? I tried to rebind but that did not help.

[Rui Martins]

Hi Pandit Prerna ,

I have a post asking your issue but until now nobody give me a satisfactory answer, you can see it here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/gridview/reset-gridview-layout.aspx

so if you open another Thread with your question maybe it helps,

Let me know if you did it..

thanks,
