I think it would be a great addition to the grid control if there was an attribute that you could apply to the columns called "SortNullsLast" or something along those lines. This attribute would modify the grid's sorting functionality and only apply the ascending or descending sort to non-null values.

Currently when you sort ascending, null values are sorted to the top of the grid. This new attribute would allow the non-null values to show up at the top in ascending order.

An example of why this would be useful is having a grid that tracks an optional requested completion date of a task. You would want to be able to sort the grid so that the earliest date shows first in the grid. Right now, any records that don't have this optional date would show first, which doesn't make sense.

Would be nice to have RadGrid offer the feature to have options to Merge Cells with same contents so the report/grid won't be so busy. Users typically expect this kind of look and feel. 

Example & code included:

This ticket discussed it also: 1091013

Others in forums asked about this also in the past since about 2009, if we google on: telerik grid asp.net merge cell. .

Then I found this link among the results from google. Though, I wish there are RowMerge and ColumnMerge properties in RadGrid for us to turn it on/off. That will be wonderful.

This example is also from the following link from the same google search result, the first link.

Thanks.

By changing the application's thread Culture to Persian (fa-IR) and the Grid's RenderMode to Lightweight, the application fails with "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

To replicate the error

1. Change the application culture to Persian

protected void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    var culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fa-IR");

    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
}

2. Change the RenderMode of the Grid to Lightweight

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" RenderMode="Lightweight">
</telerik:RadGrid>

Good morning,

we have a strange issue using RadGrid with horizontal scroll and frozen columns: there a resizing of the height which gets user experience not the best.

See attached gif.

Could you please help us?

Hi

AllowKeyboardNavigation="true" allow for users to navigate the grid with the keyboard. This is great for people with disabilities and Section 508 compliance. But when this is enabled, and the "Enter" key is pressed, the default behavior is to present an update process.

This update process should be controllable when AllowKeyboardNavigation="true".

Just as a user note ... when I was trying to figure this out, reading through the options, the EditMode was the first place I started looking.

Here is the current workaround ... How do I disable editing when AllowKeyboardNavigation="true"? in UI for ASP.NET AJAX Grid - Telerik Forums

Hope this suggestion helps

Currently, using HeaderContextFilterMenu on RadGrid with client-side binding results in JavaScript error and unexpected behavior.

• JavaScript error is thrown when clicking on the "Filter" button.
• "nonValueFilters" are not being passed to filterExpressions for "isClientSideBinding" as expected, leaving IsEmpty/NotIsEmpty/IsNull/NotIsNull not propagating to the databinding phase.

Hi

Could we have an "export to excel functionality" in "rad grid" to 
a "predefined formatted excel file".
So my excel exported file wont loose the formatting.
Thanks

It would be nice to have a "remove" button on the edit template, where the user could delete an image that was uploaded and saved on the database before. 

Time independent filtering (EqualTo problem) is currently not supported with client-side binding in RadGrid, using a WCF with odata  binding.
When i use the filter in a date column, the filter does not return records, it is because is passing date AND TIME to the OData service. 
I have open a support ticket #932463, but Daniel says it is a new feature and not a bug.
So i request it.

The client-side KeyPress event is falling out of favor and the KeyDown even is being used more. Please implement an OnKeyDown event for the Grid, just like you currently have an OnKeyPress event

Auto-Fit column width when exporting to excel using Format="Xlsx"

 I'd really like to have the columns automatically adjust to fit the width of the content.

I have a RadGrid with around 150 columns and a few hundred rows. Currently, I'm looping over them and setting their widths with the resizeColumn function. Unfortunately, it's triggering a recalculation of the layout every time I call this function, so the total page load time can be in the minutes.

Oddly, much of the time was spent on the line:
e.style.width=e.offsetWidth-d+"px";

Chrome's developer tools helpfully pointed me at Forced Reflow. Apparently, when a width is set, initially no extra work is done. When another width is requested, the previous width may have changed it, so the whole layout gets recalculated.

The feature I'd like to request is a function to set column widths in bulk (accepting anything like an array or a dictionary would be fine) that doesn't trigger this recalculation mid-function.
