I have a TelerikGrid that contains many columns and a DetailTemplate within it. The Grid has functionality for multiselect with a checkbox column that appears as the first column on the grid. Is it possible to move this checkbox column in front of the detail template '+' dropdown row?

A possible option for the time being is to create a custom expand column and manage its position as needed. See more details and an example here: How to Reorder, Lock or Resize the Hierarchy Expand/Collapse Column in Telerik Blazor Grid.

When the page is printed, the Grid is extended down onto multiple sheets of paper. This is because the Grid is large. The issue I am having is that the column headers are not repeating on each printed page. This makes the grid very hard to read. Is there a setting that can force the column headers to print on each printed page?

I want to add a custom sort comparer but I don't want to perform the whole sorting manually through the OnRead event.

Please allow adding custom expressions that will be applied to the query that the DataSource package does for easier customizations of the data operations.

When scrolling up in a virtual Grid, the rows "above" are not be kept or loaded like when scrolling down, and it takes a while before they get loaded and shown. This behaviour is not very user friendly and should be corrected.

I am using Telerik Grid in our project and I have enabled the feature Reorderable="true". At GridColumnMenuSettings I am getting the following options:

Set column position :

  • Move Next 
  • Move Previous

Those options are commonly showing for all columns but I want to disable "Move Next" option for the last column and "Move Previous" option for the first column as these options are not applicable to the corresponding columns.

I have a Grid with lots of rows and I have enabled grouping. Due to the fact that I need to show all groups expanded by default I cannot use Load Groups on demand and row virtualization. When I expand/collapse groups the performance is not good.

I would like to lock a column at a certain index in the Grid. For example, I would like to have a column on index 0 (the first column in the Grid) and it should not be reordered by any user interaction (dragging the column itself or dragging other columns in its place). 

Also if the user tries to drag a column over my locked column the drag handlers must not be present/or show that it is an invalid drop location.

===

Telerik edit:

In the meantime, a possible workaround is to:

  1. Handle the Grid OnStateChanged event.
  2. Check if args.PropertyName is equal to "ColumnStates".
  3. Check if the Index of the first Grid column (args.GridState.ColumnStates.First()) is greater than zero.
  4. Reset at least 2 column indexes, according to your preferences, so that the first column in the Grid markup is also the first column in the UI.
  5. Reset the Grid state with SetStateAsync().

 

<p>The <strong>Name</strong> column index will always be 0.
    The Grid will either move the reordered column to index 1, or put it back to its previous index (revert).</p>

The TelerikCheckBoxListFilter starts working very slowly with hundreds of items or more. That includes rendering and searching in it.

A possible workaround is to put a virtual Grid inside the FilterMenuTemplate. The example below is a modified version of this one - Blazor Grid checkbox list filtering with custom data. The FilterMenuButtonsTemplate is necessary to clear the selected Grid rows when the user clears the column filter.

@using Telerik.DataSource
@using Telerik.DataSource.Extensions

             Height="400px">
    <GridColumns>

                <TelerikGrid Data="@NameOptions"

                             Height="240px"
                             RowHeight="36"
                             FilterMode="@GridFilterMode.FilterRow"

Currently, if I call Grid.AutoFitAllColumnsAsync "too early" it throws a null reference exception.

I am aware that this is a limitation but the behavior can be improved. For example, handle the exception and provide some useful information or give me a programmatic way to know if it's too early to call autofit.

Hi

is there a way to make the Filtering in a grid work with wildcard symbols like '%' or '*' ?

I have checked the page https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/common-features/filter-operators

For strings none of the possible operators seems to support wildcard symbols, they all treat it the symbol "as is" leading to no results. 

Guessing that the filtering is using Linq and Expressions so it would be nice if the FilterDescriptor constructor could accept a predicate function as parameter how the FilterValue is to be evaluated. I can see in the API reference that there is a protected method:

CreateFilterExpression(ParameterExpression parameterExpression)
but that is not usable / accessible when programmatically working with FilterDescriptor instances. 

Do you have plans for allowing wildcards in filter or offering new FilterOperators like "Regex" ? Or plans where a client could implement their own custom FilterOperators? 

Thanks

Selection performance suffers if the Grid has a large page size and uses child components in column templates:

https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/QHaLcVbl25YrVZU821

This is because the Grid doesn't apply performance optimizations for templates and always re-renders them.

Please expose a setting to disable re-rendering if it's not necessary.

When I define a bigger number of MultiColumn Header the rendering performance of the Grid component quickly deteriorates. 

I would like an improvement in this regard.

Enhance the group header template context by including additional properties such as the parent group field and value.
