Due to browser restrictions, the print behavior is changed and works identically to the one of IE - a new tab/dialog with the grid is opened whose print command is launched. You can observe the behavior in IE at https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/printing/defaultcs.aspx. 

It becomes hard to see the checked checkboxes because of the selected color it has by default matches the select color of the grid

Solution:

        .RadGrid_BlackMetroTouch .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_BlackMetroTouch .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_Bootstrap .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_Bootstrap .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_Metro .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_Metro .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_MetroTouch .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_MetroTouch .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before {
            color: white;
        }

        .RadGrid_Glow .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_Glow .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_Office2010Black .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_Office2010Black .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_Telerik .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_Telerik .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before,
        .RadGrid_WebBlue .rgSelectedRow .RadCheckBox.RadButton_WebBlue .rbToggleCheckboxChecked::before {
            color: black;
        }

Sample to reproduce the behavior and compare the default colors in other states/cases:

        <telerik:RadCheckBox runat="server" ID="rcb1"></telerik:RadCheckBox>
        <br />
        <telerik:RadCheckBox runat="server" ID="rcb2" Checked="true"></telerik:RadCheckBox>
        <telerik:RadSkinManager runat="server" ID="RadSkinManager1" Skin="Bootstrap" ShowChooser="true">
        </telerik:RadSkinManager>
        <telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" RenderMode="Lightweight" />
        <asp:CheckBox ID="Checkbox1" Text="some checkbox" runat="server" />
        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" RenderMode="Lightweight">
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridClientSelectColumn></telerik:GridClientSelectColumn>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="rad check box column">
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <telerik:RadCheckBox runat="server" ID="RadCheckBox1"></telerik:RadCheckBox>
                            <br />
                            <telerik:RadCheckBox runat="server" ID="RadCheckBox2" Checked="true"></telerik:RadCheckBox>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings>
                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

And a dummy data source that is not a good data source in general, but it will suffice to get this running so one can observe

    protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as RadGrid).DataSource = "abcdef";
    }

RadGrid filter command is not triggered for strings containing "and" word.

Steps to reproduce:
Filter by "SUNBAY AND LEONA A" in the following demo:
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/functionality/filtering/excel-like-filtering/defaultcs.aspx

As a temporary workaround you can use Template column with a DataField set.

Hidden columns are shown on resize when the static headers and frozen column are used.

Video: https://www.screencast.com/t/4Lwuvbp7


Possible workarounds:

- Hide the column with Visible="False", instead of Display="False"

- Hide the column on the client-side:



    function gridCreated(sender, args) {
        var masterTableView = sender.get_masterTableView();
        columnIndex = masterTableView.getColumnByUniqueName("ShipName").get_element().cellIndex;
        setTimeout(function () {
            masterTableView.hideColumn(columnIndex);
        }, 2);
    }




Steps to reproduse:

            <telerik:RadGrid RenderMode="Lightweight" HeaderStyle-Width="200px"
                AutoGenerateColumns="false"
                ID="RadGrid1"
                OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
                Width="100%"
                runat="server">
                <ClientSettings>
                    <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" UseStaticHeaders="true" FrozenColumnsCount="2"></Scrolling>
                </ClientSettings>
                <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="false">
                    <Columns>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SongID" HeaderText="SongID" FilterControlWidth="50px" HeaderStyle-Width="50px">
                        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="SongTitle" HeaderText="Song Title" FilterControlWidth="200px"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="CollectionName" HeaderText="Collection Name" FilterControlWidth="200px"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                        <telerik:GridBoundColumn FilterControlWidth="50px" DataField="VersionID" HeaderText="VersionID" Display="false"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                    </Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
            </telerik:RadGrid>

Code Behind:

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

    private DataTable GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("SongID");
        dt.Columns.Add("SongTitle");
        dt.Columns.Add("CollectionName");
        dt.Columns.Add("VersionID");

        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add(i, i + 1, i + 2, i + 3);
        }

        return dt;
    }

With form decorator the checkboxes jump a bit to the left when cell is opened: https://www.screencast.com/t/5HwXW6kgVhb

Without form decorator they get centered because of the 100% width they get https://www.screencast.com/t/oxc75Bu6lM

It comes from the combination of two things:
- by default, the grid cells have a left padding (as well as padding to the other sides, but that's irrelevant now)
- the batch editing container does not have left padding so the editable element can better align with the text in the general case (textboxes and other editable elements usually have some left padding). With a checkbox there is no textual input, though, and so it appears to shift to the left because the left-padding of the cell is removed by the batch editing.

Workaround:

		<style>
			/* note: the margins may vary in different skins, inspect the rendering if there is a  */

			/* for form decorator */
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .rfdCheckboxUnchecked,
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .rfdCheckboxChecked,
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .RadCheckBoxList {
				margin-left: 12px;
			}

			/* if no form decorator */
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent input[type='checkbox'] {
				width: auto;
				margin-left: 16px;
			}


			/* in case you have radio buttons even though they are not a supported editable control with batch editing*/
			/* for form decorator */
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .rfdRadioUnchecked,
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .rfdRadioChecked,
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent .RadRadioButtonList{
				margin-left: 12px;
			}

			/* if no form decorator */
			html .RadGrid td.rgBatchCurrent input[type='radio'] {
				width: auto;
				margin-left: 16px;
			}
		</style>

Currently when doing a Batch Edit with the Grid each row and cell must be updated with a new/edited value before saving.

Example: a User has a Grid containing records and would like to update several records because a Date field requires updating.

Can it be possible for the User to select the Rows they would like to update, Edit the Date Field(using the example above), but this time when Saved all records that were selected are updated. 

This solution may require a modal to be displayed that shows all fields available, similar to Edit/Insert grid Popup. The appropriate field is then updated and saved only to selected records.

This feature would save a lot of time by not having to edit each row individually then saving.

If AllowPaging, AllowScroll and UseStaticHeaders are set to true, then there will be 2 empty <th> elements

workaround: 
    <ClientSettings>
...
        <ClientEvents OnGridCreated="OnGridCreated" />
    </ClientSettings>

<script>
    function OnGridCreated(sender, args) {
        var emptyth = $telerik.$(sender.get_element())
            .find("th").filter(function (ind, item) { return item.textContent == "" });
        // alert(emptyth.length)
        emptyth.append("<span style='display:none'>Hidden empty table header</span>")
    }
</script>

In GridTableView.cs, you provide a function
 protected virtual GridTableView CreateTableView() (Line 7828).
This function can be overloaded to return derived classes from GridTableView.

But, this is not overloadable completely. Because you create a GridTableView directly in protected void BuildDetailTablesFromDataSource() (Line 8808), too.
There you would have to call a virtual creator function, too.

This is necessary, because I have a lot of Trouble with your DataBind which I was able to fix with an overload. It is much to hard to make this bug visible for you, I really tried to do so already, but I had to fix this that way, because your GridTableView without my derivation fails in our szenario.

The call stack for that problem, I'd had to fix, is always like:
Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown. ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Cannot find column CheckSum.

In that, your DataTableView gets an invalid sort Expression string. Therefore, I overwrote DataBind.

But this is not possible in all cases, if you create GridViewTable() objects on your own.

When virtualization is enabled for RadGrid, NeedDataSource is called at every Post back with RebindReason = ExplicitRebind, regardless of the event target.

Steps to reproduce:

Using CommandItemTemplate (Grid - Command Item) for Editing DetailTable records and selecting an item after filtering or from another page, one item from the first page is put for editing instead. Open the attached GIF animation (EditSelectedEditWrongItem.gif) to see it in action.

Currently the workaround we offer is to handle the EditSelected command manually for all the DetailTables Except for the Master.

Grid markup:

        <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" Width="100%" PageSize="3"
            OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand"
            OnDetailTableDataBind="RadGrid1_DetailTableDataBind"
            OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">
            <MasterTableView Name="MasterTable" AutoGenerateColumns="true" DataKeyNames="OrderID">
                <DetailTables>
                    <telerik:GridTableView Name="ChildTable" DataKeyNames="OrderID" AutoGenerateColumns="true" CommandItemDisplay="Top">
                        <CommandItemTemplate>
                            <asp:LinkButton ID="btnEditSelected" runat="server" CommandName="EditSelected" CssClass="btn btn-default">Edit Selected</asp:LinkButton>
                        </CommandItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTableView>
                </DetailTables>
            </MasterTableView>
            <ClientSettings>
                <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
            </ClientSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

C# - ItemCommand

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        // Logic applies for all the tables (detail tables) which are not named "MasterTable"
        if(e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name != "MasterTable" && e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditSelectedCommandName)
        {
            e.Canceled = true;

            GridTableView detailTable = e.Item.OwnerTableView;

            if (detailTable.OwnerGrid.SelectedIndexes.Count == 0)
            {
                return;
            }

            foreach (GridDataItem selectedItem in detailTable.OwnerGrid.SelectedItems)
            {
                selectedItem.Edit = true;
            }

            detailTable.Rebind();
        }
    }

VB - ItemCommand

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs)
    If e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name <> "MasterTable" AndAlso e.CommandName = RadGrid.EditSelectedCommandName Then
        e.Canceled = True
        Dim detailTable As GridTableView = e.Item.OwnerTableView

        If detailTable.OwnerGrid.SelectedIndexes.Count = 0 Then
            Return
        End If

        For Each selectedItem As GridDataItem In detailTable.OwnerGrid.SelectedItems
            selectedItem.Edit = True
        Next

        detailTable.Rebind()
    End If
End Sub

To replicate the problem:

1. Create RadGrid and bind it a datasource
2. Set ClientSettings - Selecting - AllowRowSelect to true
3. Set ClientSettings - EnablePostBackOnRowClick to true
4. Add a GridEditCommandColumn or a ButtonColumn with Edit/Save/Cancel CommandNames
5. Enable AJAX for the Grid
6. Run the application in FireFox

Clicking on the Edit button fires the RowClick event of the Grid instead of Edit/Save/Cancel.

Issue seems to happen with RadGrid with Bootstrap Skin, RenderMode Lightweight when RequireFieldValidator is enabled in combination with Batch Editing.

Unexpected look (Bootstrap skin):

Other skins seems to have it right.

Expected look (Default skin):

Expected look (Silk skin):

I have a Telerik RadGrid, and there is a date column on the grid layout. The date format I am using to display date values is "dd/MM/yyyy". Then, I export that grid data to Excel file with GridExcelExportFormat.Biff type. The problem here is when I open the newly exported Excel file, the date format is changed to "MM/dd/yyyy". 

I want to keep displaying my date format "dd/MM/yyyy" in the Excel file after exporting the grid data.

I found issue here in your forum and received an updated fix.

However, the sample fix has the grid name ("RadGrid1") hard-coded in the method "function OnClientHidden(sender, args)". In our code we need to use this for many grids; each with its own name. Please show me how to obtain the grid name generically; preferably from the arguments (sender, args).

Also in the example the checkbox isn't explicitly declared; I assume the code is using some implicit name. However, in our code the name of the checkbox is declared (see below my signature). Please show me how to change the code to use different checkbox names.
