It would be useful for the header cell for Sort-able columns to display an indication that the column can be sorted.  This is useful to users when not all columns are sort-able, so they know which header cells will trigger resorting.

Elsewhere in our application, we use a double headed arrow icon to indicate use can click on header to resort on the column; the app displays the up or down arrow indicating when sort order is active.

Suggest adding a third Sort-Image-URL attribute to specify an image to use when column is not sorted ascending or descending.

At present, best I can do declaratively (w/o custom coding) is the set one of the HeaderStyle-Font properties (for example the HeaderStyle-Font-Underline) to provide a visual indication that column is sort-able.

Provide the ability for the developer to configure the grid so that the Group By box appears _below_ the CommandItem

If the user's browser supports html5 local storage, I'd like for the RadGrid to be able to save/load its settings from there for things like page size, column order, sorting, etc.  Other controls may be able to do this as well.

When doing batch edits on a grid if you delete a row, the row is no longer visible in the grid but it is not actually deleted until users click the 'Save' button. This has led to some confusion for our users who delete the rows then navigate off the page w/o pressing save. They think they successfully deleted the rows but when they return to the grid the rows are still present.

We have added logic when navigating away from the page that checks and prompts users if there are unsaved batch edit changes, but in case of deleted rows, when they look at the grid, there is no indication about the deleted rows so they are unaware that the rows were not actually deleted.

We like the idea of not deleting the rows until the user presses the save button, but maybe the delete action should not remove the row from the grid and instead simply strike it out, or put a 'marked for deletion' flag or do something visual to keep the row on the grid but make it obvious that it has been marked for deletion. This way users will not be confused and will know that they must click the Save for the change to take effect.

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.

Hello,

I would like to have the group footer display the total items count in that particular group but the way the radgrid is designed it almost seems impossible and it is requirement for us. I would also appreciate if you would consider adding the aggregate for the entire group in the group footer and the entire grid in the grid footer. 

Thanks

Add support for custom paging in the RadGrid Virtualization functionality. The idea is to enable the retrieval of part of the data from the source of data instead of retrieving all of the data every time.

Without this feature the optimization technique is to cache the data source.

Example is available at http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/grid/details/virtualization-and-custom-paging

It will be interesting if the literals "From" and "To" in the filter area of the GridDatetimecolumn take their values from resources, as all other controls inside RadGrid. This way will be easier to localize the grid.

Hi,

RadWindow has a property as "KeepInScreenBounds", on setting of which the radwindow can not be moved out of screen area.


Lets have the similar or kind of property on Edit Popup of RadGrid with Editmode=Popup?


The expectation is, edit popup of radgrid should not be moved outside of screen area that is visible to the user. This is perfectly achieved by for radwindows with "KeepInScreenBounds" property.

Expose the MinValue and MaxValue properties from the GridNumericColumn RadNumericTextBox editor control, directly to the GridNumericColumn.

Having Paging enabled, the Column Aggregates should be calculated based on the data from all of the group's items, even if the group is spread over several pages.

Currently, only the data from the visible items on the current page are calculated. 

Hi,

Our Accessibility partner while evaluating our product for 508 compliance we got one report saying RadGrid control is not accessible. We do have enablearia attribute on the radgrid and is emitting the aria-attributes as mentioned in your demo. 
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/accessibility-and-internationalization/wai-aria-support/defaultcs.aspx

As per them : "So it does not alert the user that arrow keys may be used to navigate it".
I have attached a snippet of their report regarding radgrid accessibility. Can you please let me know if anything is missing.
Thanks and best regards,
Mirang

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

I would like to suggest that a more intuitive clear filter option be used on the Filtering columns in the RadGrid.  Currently, I have to select "No Filter" from the Filter list of options.

Instead, I believe the Filter should be provided to be more intuitive similar to other applications such as Microsoft Access, Excel or Google Search.

In Microsoft Access or Excel, I simply unselect the Filter icon to remove the Filter.
In Google Search, I simply click the X icon next to my search criteria to remove my search text.

Either of these methods should be adopted so that the overall end user experience is more pleasant and comparable to filter capabilities in other tools and products.

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.
