Please add a setting for the Grid in batch edit mode to enable prompting to save changes.  The prompt should occur when navigating away from the page, when paging, when filtering, when refreshing, or any other action that would cause loss of changes without a save.
For details on how I implemented this manually, please see ticket 933229.

I'd like to request for an expansion of the RadGrid header rotation. Currently the rgRotateHeader style that can be applied rotates +90deg. 

I find this an uncomfartable reading direction and I am sure my users will complain about it. While attempting to set some custom style corrections tot rotate -90deg with the help of Telerik support I found that the end result was not good enough to bring into production: wrapping direction was wrong and too many manual corrections had to be made to make the header fit.

See attached screenshots where I made an attempt to rotate the header to override the rgRotateHeader style and the undesired wrapping results and the inconvenient required corrections in transform-origin. Maybe I could have made this work, but this is where I stopped my effort as it cost me too many time. 

I would very much like this a standard feature of the Radgrid. Also -45deg would be very nice to have!

Please add support for tags in exported PDF documents. We need these tags for accessibility purposes. Currently, when we export a PDF from a RadGrid, it is created without any tag structure, which can make it difficult for a screen reader to process correctly.

This feature request is regarding the ExportToExcel button in Radgrid.

ExportToExcel button in Radgrid adds an extra row in the exported excel sheet. This is due to the presence of Filtering items.

Export to Excel code in radgrid:

<ExportSettings ExportOnlyData="true" IgnorePaging="true" Excel-Format="Biff" OpenInNewWindow="True">
<Excel Format="Biff" AutoFitImages="True"></Excel>
        </ExportSettings>
<CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="False" ShowRefreshButton="False" ShowExportToExcelButton="True" ExportToExcelText="Export Grid To Excel"/>

The above code produces an extra row.

I know there is a fix by disabling the Filtering items in the grid in OnItemCommand event. So I used that. The code is given below:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExportToExcelCommandName)
            {
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.AllowFilteringByColumn = false;
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.Rebind();
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.ExportSettings.Excel.Format = GridExcelExportFormat.Biff;
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = true;
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = true;
                ReviewByCollegeGrid.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = true;
            }
        }
But it is a lot of work when you have to do it for all the web pages in your application. Please provide a feature which will help to solve this issue in an easier way.

How is it possible to autofit / autosize a giving column (or all columns) when exporting the contents from RadGrid to xlsx using ExportStructure?

The only option available is Width with a defined value. I was unable to find an autofit / autosize function.

And also add AutoFilter feature...

Please consider to add this features :-)

Dear developers

I would like to see an easy way to have straight forward navigation / edit / save operations in radgrid the way it works for MS Access grids. When working in MS Access grid the record automatically gets dirty on edit, has an easy cancel by ESC button, and auto-saves without any trouble when moving to the next record. The way it works in MS Access is until 2018 still hard to find in a web-control. I managed to use the batch edit and have a kind of auto save when moving to the next record. but it is a pain because the postback action results in loosing the focus on the field you navigated to. 

Why is it so hard to built what the MS boys (the old guys did great work) already built ages ago. Its about time that our web controls behave like old fashioned windows fat client controls.

Please don't lean behind, thinking that all is fine now. its not, a lot can be improved and made easier to handle and give user better user experience.

When I look at the current NEW / UPDATES for ASP.NET Ajax Controls it make me cry to see that its apparently put aside as FINISHED. Wake up, improve more or give a clear roadmap for future developments. Progress should not loose focus on the Telerik ASP.NET Ajax toolbox because that one is still a major tool for the coming 5-10 years I expect.

Create a FilterControlEmptyMessage property so users can set an empty message in the grid filter textbox, much like the EmptyMessag property of RadTextBoxes.

Ideally make it so this property can be accessed/modified client and server-side.

Selecting a cell from horizontally scrolled RadGrid with allowed Keyboard Navigationcauses the page to be scrolled to the left in IE 11.

video: https://www.screencast.com/t/4NDOq9Qx

Comment: If the Batch editing is enabled the cell is selected, but the batch editing is not started.

Code to reproduce the issue:
<div style="width: 4000px">
        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" AllowSorting="true" Skin="Telerik" RenderMode="Lightweight"
            OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
            <ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true" Scrolling-AllowScroll="true" Scrolling-SaveScrollPosition="true">
                <Selecting CellSelectionMode="SingleCell" />
            </ClientSettings>
            <GroupingSettings ShowUnGroupButton="true"></GroupingSettings>
            <MasterTableView  CommandItemDisplay="Top" Frame="Border" ShowFooter="true" AllowPaging="True" AllowCustomPaging="true" ShowGroupFooter="true">
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>
</div>

When there is at least one ColumnGroup which is not assigned to any of the columns in RadGrid, exporting to Excel throws an exception "Index was outside the bonds of the array"

Please add the new features for adaptive grid to the ASP.NET AJAX control.

The horizontal scrollbar is not visible in iOS when the grid is empty.

Code to reproduce the problem:
<style>
        html, body, body > form {
            height: 100%;
            padding: 0;
            margin: 0;
        }
    </style>
...
        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" Width="100%"
            AutoGenerateColumns="true"
            OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
            <ClientSettings>
                <Scrolling AllowScroll="true" />
            </ClientSettings>
            <MasterTableView Width="1500px">
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

    protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as RadGrid).DataSource = GetData();
    }

    private object GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("column1");
        dt.Columns.Add("column2");
        dt.Columns.Add("column3");
        dt.Columns.Add("column4");
        dt.Columns.Add("column5");
        dt.Columns.Add("column6");
        dt.Columns.Add("column7");
        dt.Columns.Add("column8");

        //dt.Rows.Add(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8);

        return dt;
    }

I was wondering if there was a way to freeze a row (similar to freezing a column)

Most spreadsheets (EXCEL and Sheets) have this capability and it appears to be a very popular feature that is missing in RADGrid.


I thought I saw the ability to pin a row (but could not find the details)

Do you have any suggestions and sample code?

thanks

RadGrid client events OnRowDropping and OnRowDropped do not fire if item is dropped onto itself.

It is a bit disappointing that Enum filtering is not supported. I would recommend you re-evaluate the need for this type of support given the fact that the Entity Framework now supports Enums (I think as of 4.1?) AND since the RadGrid supports binding against the Entity Data Source.

I think you'll find that Enums are very popular when using the Entity Framework Code First approach. It would be SUPER useful if your development team could find a way to support this. It would make an already great control even greater!
