It is a common request to show grids in alternating colors, rather than simply white and grey.  Because the Grid component generates the <tr> element, we are left with manually setting each <td> element.  A tedious but effective solution.

The feature I would like to request is to add 2 new tags to the <TelerikGrid> component, call them EvenRowClass, and OddRowClass.  The behavior is the same as the Class tag, but they operate on Even and Odd numbered rows of data, respectively.  Their values would be added to the <tr> element as <tr class="MyEvenClass"> or <tr class="MyOddClass" in the same manner class k-alt is generated or not.  This would provide a simple yet extensible mechanism to achieve custom alternating row colors in a Grid.

The GridCheckboxColumn for the Blazor Grid is simply confusing.

I think 99 % of the users assume the GridCheckboxColumn is intended to be used for boolean field types.

Functionality is very nice but naming could be e.g. "GridSelectionColumn" to clarify what's it's purpose.

We are using Grid control with OData source (ToODataString() exstension) and OnRead event. When we try to group by some column, it douesn't work. OData query to API is same and OnRead event fires but grid not grouping.

Using the Excel Export for Grid creates the Excel file, but on opening it, the columns that contain data are hidden. Unless I unhide the columns, the sprceadsheet looks empty.

ADMIN EDIT:
One idea to go about this is to expose an event that would allow users to modify the column width values before they get sent for export. The benefit of this approach is that if the columns are resized, the user will receive their current size in the specified unit e.g. rem, em or % and will be able to set the width in px.

Another idea is to default such column widths to some hardcoded value (say, 64px) or even the grid might try to calculate them (which can cause questionable results in stranger settings, but it is an idea - if an event gets exposed you will be able to do that in your application code).

Grid - Import from Clipboard (Excel) when column name matches the first row header

I think it would be a great feature to be able to import copied data from excel into the grid either based on the index of the column or the header row in the clipboard matches the name of the column in Blazor Grid.

---

ADMIN EDIT

You can find an example of implementing this and the caveats it brings in the following sample project: https://github.com/telerik/blazor-ui/tree/master/grid/paste-from-excel

This feature requires research on how we could provide it as a built-in feature. So, any feedback on the matter will be appreciated.

---

This will let Excel mark the field as a Date and act according to the current culture on the machine that opens the file.

---

ADMIN EDIT:

This feature would let you define custom formats, so you may want to Vote for it and Follow it too: Custom Format for Excel Export per column. It is important to keep in mind that the Excel formats are completely different from the .NET formats.

If this is of high importance for you right now, you could create your own Excel file with the desired settings by following the example from this thread.

Horizontal scroll bar is visible, but doesn't move with cursor/current-cell.

---

ADMIN EDIT

Applies also to vertical scrolling with or without row virtualization (e.g., using InCell edit mode, pressing Enter will open the next row for editing, but it will not work out with row virtualization at all after the current viewport, and without virtualization you will not see what's happening until you start typing and the browser calls .scrollIntoView() for the editor)

---

For example in the following demo:

https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/grid/custom-filter-menu

If I first filter "38" by "Size" and then open the second filter menu "Product Name", I see all the product names in the pop-up, not only the previously filtered by "Size" names. I want to see in the second filter pop-up only the filtered names by "Size".

It will be nice to have this grid filter out-of-box, so you don't have to scroll to unwanted values not part of the first filter.

------------ADMIN EDIT-------------

As a possible workaround, you can use the Filter Menu Template:

It allows you to change the data for the filter menu.

I suggest adding a FieldExpression property to the GridColumn so a developer would not need to create view models and templates for simple transformations of the existing model's properties. The field expression would be used for filtering and sorting as well. Its type would be Func<T, object> or Expression<Func<T, object>>.

   <TelerikGrid Data="@Persons">
            <GridColumns>
                <GridColumn FieldExpression="@(p => p.FirstName + " " + p.LastName)" />
            </GridColumns>
        </TelerikGrid>

How can I get the tooltips for validation of each field displayed at the corresponding field in a Grid Popup form, not just the summary below the Form, etc?

---

ADMIN EDIT

---

This will be handled through exposing an option to set your preferred field validation message type - tooltip or inline. It will cover all edit modes (Popup, Inline, InCell).

If you want to remove the ValidationSummary after adding field validation messages, check the ability to remove ValidationSummary from the Popup edit form.

Allow the Grid to support Enums which are mapped to use datatypes different from int. Currently, if I try to use the following Enum, an InvlidCastException is generated:

public enum ShortEnum : short
{
    Value1,
    Value2,
    Value3
}

Would like a parameter in the grid definition that would display a Clear/Refresh button to return the grid to all originally selected records.  This feature would work similar to the Excel clear filter function.  

===

TELERIK EDIT: To reset the Grid filters, you can clear the FilterDescriptors collection and the SearchFilter property in the Grid state. Here is an example:

https://blazorrepl.telerik.com/cfEoatOr000uBdgW48

    private TelerikGrid<Product>? GridRef { get; set; }

    private async Task ClearGridFilters()
    {
        var gridState = GridRef!.GetState();

        gridState.FilterDescriptors = new List<IFilterDescriptor>();
        gridState.SearchFilter = default;

        await GridRef.SetStateAsync(gridState);
    }

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.

Until version 6.0 it was possible to set the Grid PageSize to "All" by setting it to the total item count. This workaround no longer works.

Please enhance the API to allow setting an "All" page size with code or initially.

Is there any way to default the values that are used when I create a new row?

So for example, I have a row where I want to default a date to Jan 1st of the following year.  However, when I add the row, it adds nulls to all fields and the date shows up as 1 Jan 1900 and there's a lot of fiddly clicking to set the right date.

Trying the custom GridCommandButtons. When recieving the event, the CommandName of  the GridCommandEventArgs is always null. Shouldn't this be the name of the command I specified on the command?

 Explore you example at
https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/grid/toolbar#custom-commands

 When private void MyCommandFromToolbar(GridCommandEventArgs args) is triggered, I expect the command name to be MyToolbarCommand

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?

 Similar to the focusout-event of html-input...I want to do something after leaving a row.

----

ADMIN EDIT

The majority of things are possible through templates right now. You can put in the desired template (editor, row, cell, header, whatever you need to capture events from) and add the desired handler to your own DOM element. Then, you can alter the grid, if needed, through its state. If you need the row data item - it is available in the templates related to the data rows. If you need adjacent rows models - you can get them from the sorted list of grid data when you use its OnRead event - you have the current row and you can get a previous/next one as needed from that list.

That said, I am keeping this item open (status "Unplanned") so we can still gather any feedback and its popularity and what the community thinks, and whether it will be a meaningful addition to the component.
