The Custom Filter Menu in the Grid is not working as I would expect.
I am trying to do two things
I am doing something very similar to the demo for the custom filter menu: https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/grid/custom-filter-menu
I have observed that if I set a filter programatically through the grid state, those filters are applied to the grid but are not being passed through the FilterMenuTemplateContext object in the FilterMenuTemplate when I open the Filter Menu for that column. Therefore, I cannot update my custom filter to show which values are currently being filtered on.
Is it by design that the FilterMenuTemplateContext does not contain Filters applied through the grid state or a bug?

ADMIN EDIT
As of Dec 2020, there is one outstanding issue - using complex filters (having a CompositeFilterDescriptor) for the FilterRow filter template gets saved in the grid state, but is not loaded as expected - the filter row uses a "regular" FilterDescriptor and cuts off additional descriptors. Thus, the context of the template does not provide all the data from the grid state and you need to extract it manually. I have attached a sample that shows one way of doing that in the StateInit handler.
The FilterMenu already provides all the data in its context and you can bind inputs in the template directly to the filter descriptors. Once the filter row can work with more complex filter descriptors as well, you would be able to create the extra descriptors (if they are not already there) and directly bind the inputs to their value, as opposed to the current approach where view-model fields are used.

I recently implemented a Datatable-based grid utilizing the new features/enhancements released in v2.15.0. One notable feature omission that I noticed was the lack of grouping support. I did notice that there was another support item that mentioned OnRead not working with Grouping, but was unsure if that was the reason for the issues I am having or not.
I am using the OnRead() event for building my source from the DataTable, as the demo for using a DataTable shows, and experience a similar issue to that in the referenced support item (empty rows in the grid after attempting grouping, or "nothing" happening, depending on how I try and configure the grid/logic).
Is there a way to do this now, or can this functionality be added?
I am using the Telerik UI for Blazor 2.13. The export excel does not work with it. I am using the exact code snippet from docs as below on my test page:
@* You can sort, group, filter, page the grid, resize and reodrder its columns, and you can click the
Export button to save the current data *@
@page "/test"
@using Telerik.Blazor.Components
<TelerikGrid Data="@GridData" Pageable="true" Sortable="true" Resizable="true" Reorderable="true"
Groupable="true">
<GridToolBar>
<GridCommandButton Command="ExcelExport">Export to Excel</GridCommandButton>
<label><TelerikCheckBox @bind-Value="@ExportAllPages" />Export All Pages</label>
</GridToolBar>
<GridExport>
<GridExcelExport FileName="telerik-grid-export" AllPages="@ExportAllPages" />
</GridExport>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.ProductId)" Title="ID" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.ProductName)" Title="Product Name" Width="300px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.UnitsInStock)" Title="In stock" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.Price)" Title="Unit Price" Width="200px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.Discontinued)" Title="Discontinued" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.FirstReleaseDate)" Title="Release Date" Width="300px" />
</GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>
@code {
List<SampleData> GridData { get; set; }
bool ExportAllPages { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
GridData = Enumerable.Range(1, 100).Select(x => new SampleData
{
ProductId = x,
ProductName = $"Product {x}",
UnitsInStock = x * 2,
Price = 3.14159m * x,
Discontinued = x % 4 == 0,
FirstReleaseDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x)
}).ToList();
}
public class SampleData
{
public int ProductId { get; set; }
public string ProductName { get; set; }
public int UnitsInStock { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }
public bool Discontinued { get; set; }
public DateTime FirstReleaseDate { get; set; }
}
}
Whenever I click on the export button. It simply does not respond. I do see lot of http requests though :
Please let me know if you need anymore details.
I have a grid with the excell Export. Now I have two custom Export buttons on the Page (Over and under the Grid).
Can I somehow trigger the Grid Excell Export command Manually?

ADMIN EDIT
Here is a workaround - a bit of JS to click the desired button and the second snippet shows how to invoke it from a blazor component and code.
<script>
function clickButton(selector) {
var btn = document.querySelector(selector);
if (btn && btn.click) {
btn.click();
}
}
</script>
@inject IJSRuntime _js
<style>
/* hide the built-in button if you like */
.myExcelExportButton {
display:none;
}
</style>
<button @onclick="@MyExternalExportTrigger">my external export button</button>
<TelerikGrid Data="@GridData" Pageable="true" Sortable="true" Resizable="true" Reorderable="true"
FilterMode="@GridFilterMode.FilterRow" Groupable="true"
Class="@GridClass">
<GridToolBar>
<GridCommandButton Class="@ExportBtnClass" Command="ExcelExport" Icon="@IconName.FileExcel">Export to Excel</GridCommandButton>
<label><TelerikCheckBox @bind-Value="@ExportAllPages" />Export All Pages</label>
</GridToolBar>
<GridExport>
<GridExcelExport FileName="telerik-grid-export" AllPages="@ExportAllPages" />
</GridExport>
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.ProductId)" Title="ID" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.ProductName)" Title="Product Name" Width="300px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.UnitsInStock)" Title="In stock" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.Price)" Title="Unit Price" Width="200px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.Discontinued)" Title="Discontinued" Width="100px" />
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleData.FirstReleaseDate)" Title="Release Date" Width="300px" />
</GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>
@code {
// cascade through classes on the grid and/or on the built-in button to click it with JS
// so that it can invoke the built-in export operations
string GridClass { get; set; } = "MyGrid";
string ExportBtnClass { get; set; } = "myExcelExportButton";
async Task MyExternalExportTrigger()
{
var selector = $".{GridClass} .k-header .{ExportBtnClass}";
await _js.InvokeVoidAsync("clickButton", selector);
}
List<SampleData> GridData { get; set; }
bool ExportAllPages { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
GridData = Enumerable.Range(1, 100).Select(x => new SampleData
{
ProductId = x,
ProductName = $"Product {x}",
UnitsInStock = x * 2,
Price = 3.14159m * x,
Discontinued = x % 4 == 0,
FirstReleaseDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x)
}).ToList();
}
public class SampleData
{
public int ProductId { get; set; }
public string ProductName { get; set; }

public DateTime FirstReleaseDate { get; set; }

If I set grouping in OnStateInit, the GroupFooterTemplate does not have data for the aggregates I have set. If I group manually by dragging a column header, the data is there.
------
ADMIN EDIT: This stems from a framework behavior. The <GridAggregates> tag is a child component of the grid and as such, initializes after the grid. Since there is no event when all such child components are initialized the parent component cannot wait for them before starting to render and thus, it initializes before it can know what aggregates are defined.
Group by the third column - there will be no aggregate info:
<TelerikGrid Data="@myData" Pageable="true" Sortable="true" FilterMode="@GridFilterMode.FilterRow" Groupable="true">
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleComplexObject.ID)" Title="ID"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field="@nameof(SampleComplexObject.Name)" Title="The Name"></GridColumn>
<GridColumn Title="First Nested Property" Field="SomeNavigationProperty.Field1">
<GroupFooterTemplate>
Count: @context.Count
</GroupFooterTemplate>
</GridColumn>
<GridColumn Field="SomeNavigationProperty.OtherField" />
</GridColumns>
<GridAggregates>
<GridAggregate Field="SomeNavigationProperty.Field1" Aggregate="@GridAggregateType.Count" />
</GridAggregates>
</TelerikGrid>
@code {
public class SampleComplexObject
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public NestedObject SomeNavigationProperty { get; set; } // use this field name for data binding
}
public class NestedObject
{
public string Field1 { get; set; }
public string OtherField { get; set; }
}
public IEnumerable<SampleComplexObject> myData = Enumerable.Range(1, 50).Select(x =>
new SampleComplexObject
{
ID = x,
Name = "Name " + x,
SomeNavigationProperty = new NestedObject
{
Field1 = "first " + x % 4,
OtherField = "second " + x % 6
}
}
);
}
When I set more than one group on StateInit, I get an error - either the browser closes, or I see a stack overflow.
Grid OnRead .Clear() Issue
With the following component:
@page "/counter"
@using System.Collections.ObjectModel
General grid with its most common features
<TelerikGrid Data="@MyData" Pageable="true" @bind-Page="page" PageSize="5" TotalCount="30" OnRead="@ReadItems" >
<GridColumns>
<GridColumn Field="@(nameof(SampleData.Id))" Width="120px" />
<GridColumn Field="@(nameof(SampleData.Name))" Title="Employee Name" Groupable="false" />
<GridColumn Field="@(nameof(SampleData.Team))" Title="Team" />
<GridColumn Field="@(nameof(SampleData.HireDate))" Title="Hire Date" />
</GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>
@code {
public List<SampleData> MyData { get; set; } = new List<SampleData>();
//public ObservableCollection<SampleData> MyData { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<SampleData>();
private int page = 1;
private void ReadItems(GridReadEventArgs args)
{
//MyData = new List<SampleData>(); //OK!
//MyData = new ObservableCollection<SampleData>(); //OK!
MyData.Clear(); //List: No update. ObservableCollection: System.StackOverflowException!
Populate();
StateHasChanged();
}
private void Populate()
{
foreach (var data in Enumerable.Range((page - 1) * 5, 5).Select(x => new SampleData
{
Id = x,
Name = "name " + x,
Team = "team " + x % 5,
HireDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x).Date
}))
{
MyData.Add(data);
}
}
public class SampleData
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Team { get; set; }
public DateTime HireDate { get; set; }
}
}
I see the issues in the comment fields. Changing OnRead to async makes no difference.
The workaround is to assign a new List or ObservableCollection instead of using .Clear()
We would like to see this functionality:
Stacked Header like in https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/datagrid/stacked-header?theme=bootstrap4
Hi, I'm looking to reproduce visual behavior with the Blazor WASM Gird that we've already standardized on in our implementation of the KendoReact Grid component.
one of the things we're doing that i'm not seeing yet in the Blazor Grid docs is rendering a triple-dot icon in the column header that clicks down to show a custom menu... looking around, the closest thing i see so far is the Blazor Grid support for a "Toolbar" header... that would probably work as a path forward but I wanted to ask if i was missing anything else more similar? or perhaps eventual plans.
or is there any facility to custom render the column header ourselves?
i'm including a screenshot example of what we've settled on so far after several iterations
Thank you! this Blazor wasm direction you're supporting is fantastic =)
row height set in grid definition must apply to all rows in the grid for row virtualization as of now.
in real business case there might be complex content in each row that can't reinforce this - but if each row report its own height, grid still can visualize the load, and it will be much more flexible.
With OnRead, AllPages cannot be exported because the grid Data only has the current page: https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/grid/export/excel#notes:
If you are using the OnRead event, only the current page of data will be exported, because that's all the grid has at the time of the export action.
I load my data via "OnRead", because i need to implement pagination by myself, and I would like the export option to work with that too.
