When the control is populated with hierarchy data, the current arrow icon and the expander icon overlap each other. This is observed when you click on a row.
As a workaround, we can increase the size of the indent column to leave enough space for both icons.
this.radVirtualGrid1.TableElement.IndentColumnWidth = 40;Then we can move the current row arrow icon to the left (or right, depending on your requirement) in the CellFormatting event handler of the control.
private void radVirtualGrid1_CellFormatting(object sender, VirtualGridCellElementEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CellElement is VirtualGridIndentCellElement)
{
var indentCell = e.CellElement as VirtualGridIndentCellElement;
indentCell.ImageLayout = ImageLayout.None;
indentCell.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
}
}
Currently, this behavior is available for RadGridView and the parent row becomes current/selected after expanding. Please refer to the attached gif file for RadGridView and the missing functionality for RadVirtualGrid.
The horizontal scrollbar should not appear on top of the data row.
Right now, when a VirtualGridDateTimeEditor is displayed in a RadVirtualGrid, and the user chooses to enter the date (and not use the date time picker), then the user has to enter the date inclusing the separators.
So a Dutch date has format: "dd-MM-yyyy", and the user has to enter "31-12-2023", including the dashes.
Hereby my request for a new feature: Entering dates without the separators / dashes, thus: "3112023". So at the moment the user enters two digits, move to the next segment, etc. The request goes for the time segments.
This would be a performance gain while doing a lot of data entry.
Repro steps:
- Create a RadVirtualGrid
- Give it a DateTime column
- Make sure the editor (VirtualGridDateTimeEditor) accepts dutch formats for dates (dd-MM-yyyy)
- Add a row with value: 30-11-2023
- Double click on the value and try to change it my literally typing: "31-12-2023"
Observed behavior:
- A field with the value 01-12-2023
(this happens as soon as you type "31") - The user needs to first enter the month, then the day to correct this.
Expected behavior:
- A field with the value: 31-12-2023
Observation / suggestion:
- The controle tries to validate and correct EVERY input, even when the input is not finished yet. Everybody knows "31-11-2023" is an incorrect value. But during changing it, this should not matter. The scope at that point should be: Making the user happy by accepting the input. When the user leaves the field, or enters the last digit, validation should take place. Or, if halfway entering the value, the totale date is invalid, do not change it and wait for the user to complete.
Elements in the child grid that are outside of the parent bounds are not active. This means that you can't resize the column, edit, filter, sort or use any other build-in behavior.
RadVirtualGrid.Selection.HasSelection (VirtualGridSelection.HasSelection) or is never false.
RadVirtualGrid grid = new RadVirtualGrid();
var hasSelection1 = grid.Selection.HasSelection;
_grid.Selection.ClearSelection();
var hasSelection2 = grid.Selection.HasSelection;After initializing the grid, and not loading anything, HasSelection is true, while nothing is selected.
After clearing the selection, HasSelection remains true.
This property is used in your own code as a pretest for some operations. (Like Copy or Cut).
Am I interpreting this property the wrong way?
Repro steps:
- Create a RadVirtualGrid
- Fill it with some records.
- Make sure nothing is selected (RadVirtualGridElement.CurrentCell is null)
- Press CTRL-C
- A NullReferenceException is thrown (this because RadVirtualGridElement.CopyToClipboard accesses CurrentCell.ViewInfo while CurrentCell is null.)

When copying to from the RadVirtualGrid to the clipboard, the HTML format is not supported.
I was thinking about creating a feature request, but I really think this is a bug, because:
- It is not consistent with its little brother RadGridView, which does support HTML.
- HTML should be supported by Teleriks own documentation: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/virtualgrid/copy-paste-cut
Please, implement the support for HTML.
When I use the Copy method in the RadGridView, the content is copied to the clipboard in multiple formats. Each format can be cancelled. If a format is cancelled it is not even serialized into the DataObject. This way a programmer can replace the copy-routine for that format with his own.
When I do the same with RadVirtualGrid, and I only want to copy format CSV and I want to cancel the rest, nothing is copied to the clipboard. The funny thing is, inspecting the code, the data is always serialized to the DataObject BEFORE the event is fired to find out if that action is needed. This is a performance penalty.
So these two behaviors are inconsistent. It is also inconsistent the the Paste-operations of both grids.
Current code:
public void CopyToClipboard(
int startRow,
int startColumn,
int endRow,
int endColumn,
VirtualGridViewInfo viewInfo,
bool selectedOnly,
bool cut)
{
DataObject dataObject = new DataObject();
string data1 = this.ProcessContent(DataFormats.Text, startRow, startColumn, endRow, endColumn, viewInfo, selectedOnly, cut);
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText, false, (object) data1);
VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs args1 = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.UnicodeText, dataObject, this.CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
this.OnCopying(args1);
if (args1.Cancel)
return;
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.Text, false, (object) data1);
VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs args2 = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.Text, dataObject, this.CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
this.OnCopying(args2);
if (args2.Cancel)
return;
string data2 = this.ProcessContent(DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue, startRow, startColumn, endRow, endColumn, viewInfo, selectedOnly, cut);
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue, false, (object) data2);
VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs args3 = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue, dataObject, this.CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
this.OnCopying(args3);
if (args3.Cancel)
return;
Clipboard.SetDataObject((object) dataObject);
}public void CopyToClipboard(
int startRow,
int startColumn,
int endRow,
int endColumn,
VirtualGridViewInfo viewInfo,
bool selectedOnly,
bool cut)
{
DataObject dataObject = new DataObject();
VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs eventArgs = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.UnicodeText, dataObject, CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
OnCopying(eventArgs);
bool useText = !eventArgs.Cancel;
eventArgs = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.UnicodeText, dataObject, CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
OnCopying(eventArgs);
bool useUnicodeText = !eventArgs.Cancel;
if (useText || useUnicodeText)
{
string text = __instance.ProcessContent(DataFormats.Text, startRow, startColumn, endRow, endColumn, viewInfo, cut);
if (useText)
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.Text, false, text);
if (useUnicodeText)
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.UnicodeText, false, text);
}
eventArgs = new VirtualGridClipboardEventArgs(false, DataFormats.Text, dataObject, CurrentCell.ViewInfo);
OnCopying(eventArgs);
if (!eventArgs.Cancel)
{
string csv = __instance.ProcessContent(DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue, startRow, startColumn, endRow, endColumn, viewInfo, selectedOnly, cut);
dataObject.SetData(DataFormats.CommaSeparatedValue, false, csv);
}
if (dataObject.GetFormats().Length > 0)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObject);
}
Please refer to the attached sample project and the gif file. You will notice that when resizing the grid, in certain cases unnecessary horizontal scrollbar appears.
I have a RadVirtualGrid with hierarchical data. When I change the page, then expand a row, and then hit the tab key I get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException:
Value of '-3838' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' must be between 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'.
Parameter name: Value
When you have a RadVirtualGrid with hierarchy and after expanding a row if you right-click a cell in the child grid and select the "Copy" item, it doesn't copy the text of the cell I right-clicked, it copies the text of the first cell.
Please test with the attached sample project.
Hi,
I have a RadVirtualGrid. I add a filter descriptor and then fetch the filtered data from the data store. I then clear the filters and perform a different fetch from the store. However, when I click in the filter value textbox the text from the previous filter operation is still there even though I purposely call radVirtualGrid.FilterDescriptors.Clear() prior to fetching the data from the store.
The filter text doesn't display in the filter row for the column where the filter was entered until I click in the text edit area.
How do I get rid of the text from the previous filter?
thanks,
Mike
dear sir ,
i have a problem keydown event does not fire in add new row ?
i want to move to the next cell when i hit Enter key after entering new value and when i reach the last cell of the add new row and type enter the new row will automatically added to the grid....
what's i have to do.....
please any suggest ? thx
2. The arrow, that is actually meant to open the DropDown, cannot be clicked. Only the cell under it is clicked instead.
Please use the following code snippet and click the filter button for the first column in the virtual grid. You will notice that the default menu is shown:
RadContextMenu menu = new RadContextMenu();
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
RadDateTimePicker aDateTimePicker = new RadDateTimePicker();
RadMenuItem theMenuItem = new RadMenuItem();
theMenuItem.MinSize = new Size(200, 30);
RadHostItem theHostItem = new RadHostItem(aDateTimePicker);
theMenuItem.Children.Add(theHostItem);
menu.Items.Add(theMenuItem);
this.radVirtualGrid1.RowCount = 50;
this.radVirtualGrid1.ColumnCount = 5;
this.radVirtualGrid1.CellValueNeeded+=radVirtualGrid1_CellValueNeeded;
this.radVirtualGrid1.AllowFiltering = true;
this.radVirtualGrid1.ContextMenuOpening+=radVirtualGrid1_ContextMenuOpening;
}
private void radVirtualGrid1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, VirtualGridContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
int i;
string theMenuItemText;
if (e.RowIndex == -3 && e.ColumnIndex < 1)
{
e.ContextMenu = menu.DropDown;
}
}
private void radVirtualGrid1_CellValueNeeded(object sender, VirtualGridCellValueNeededEventArgs e)
{
e.Value = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
}
To reproduce:
Set the RowSpacing to 10. Press down until the last cell is selected. The view is not scrolled down.
