The end users should not be able to change the checked state of the header when the column is read only.

Currently when grouping the summary row for each group is shown. The ShowTotals property defines if total summary rows will be shown. Need an option to define if the group summary row will be shown.

This way the column could bind to any collection of objects which can be converted to doubles.

Add deferred search like in WPF suite

This was working this way in 2017 then we changer it so all rows are affected. 

Bot modes should be supported. 

Add a new property AllowSelection/EnableSelection in order to control whether the use can select a cell/row.

Workaround:

Private Sub RadForm1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Me.ProductsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.NwindDataSet.Products)
     
    Me.RadGridView1.CurrentRow = Nothing
    AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.SelectionChanging, AddressOf Grid_SelectionChanging
    AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.CurrentRowChanging, AddressOf Grid_CurrentRowChanging
End Sub
 
Private Sub Grid_SelectionChanging(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewSelectionCancelEventArgs)
    e.Cancel = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Grid_CurrentRowChanging(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CurrentRowChangingEventArgs)
    e.Cancel = True
End Sub

To reproduce:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true;
    this.radGridView1.ShowHeaderCellButtons = true;

    this.radGridView1.FilterPopupRequired += radGridView1_FilterPopupRequired; 
}

private void radGridView1_FilterPopupRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.FilterPopupRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    e.FilterPopup.PopupOpening -= FilterPopup_PopupOpening; 
    e.FilterPopup.PopupOpening += FilterPopup_PopupOpening; 
}

private void FilterPopup_PopupOpening(object sender, CancelEventArgs args)
{
    args.Cancel = true;
}

Workaround: either set the ShowHeaderCellButtons property to false or closed the popup immediately after it is opened.

private void radGridView1_FilterPopupRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.FilterPopupRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    e.FilterPopup.PopupOpening -= FilterPopup_PopupOpening; 
    e.FilterPopup.PopupOpening += FilterPopup_PopupOpening; 
}

private void FilterPopup_PopupOpening(object sender, CancelEventArgs args)
{ 
    RadListFilterPopup popup = sender as RadListFilterPopup;
    popup.PopupOpened -= popup_PopupOpened;
    popup.PopupOpened += popup_PopupOpened;
}

private void popup_PopupOpened(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    RadListFilterPopup popup = sender as RadListFilterPopup;
    popup.ClosePopup(RadPopupCloseReason.Mouse);
}

We'd like to see the ability to enable a search/filter function for column chooser.  One of our applications that uses the RadGridView has dozens of columns, most hidden by default.  Our users would like the ability to type in part of a column name and have the column chooser filter on it.

The CustomSorting event should manipulate the pinned rows as well. Thus, the user will be allowed to control the sort order of the pinned rows within the pinned container.

Workaround: handle the GridViewPdfExport.CellFormatting event and apply the column`s format string

Public Class Form1
    Sub New()

        InitializeComponent()

        Me.RadGridView1.DataSource = Me.GetData()
        Me.RadGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill

        Dim decimalColumn = DirectCast(Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Money"), GridViewDecimalColumn)
        decimalColumn.DecimalPlaces = 0
        decimalColumn.FormatString = "{0:C0}"

        Dim dateTimeColumn = DirectCast(Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Date"), GridViewDateTimeColumn)
        dateTimeColumn.FormatString = "{0:D}"

    End Sub

    Private Function GetData() As Object
        Dim dataTable As New DataTable()
        dataTable.Columns.Add("Id", GetType(Integer))
        dataTable.Columns.Add("Name", GetType(String))
        dataTable.Columns.Add("Money", GetType(Decimal))
        dataTable.Columns.Add("Date", GetType(DateTime))

        For i As Integer = 0 To 999
            dataTable.Rows.Add(i, "Name " & i, i * 10, DateTime.Now.AddDays(i))
        Next

        Return dataTable
    End Function

    Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
        Dim pdfExporter = New GridViewPdfExport(Me.RadGridView1)
        AddHandler pdfExporter.CellFormatting, AddressOf pdfExporter_CellFormatting
        Dim renderer = New PdfExportRenderer()
        Dim fileName As String = "..\..\exported-grid.pdf"

        pdfExporter.RunExport(fileName, renderer)
    End Sub

    Private Sub pdfExporter_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As PdfExportCellFormattingEventArgs)
        If e.RowIndex > -1 Then
            e.CellElement.Text = TryCast(RadDataConverter.Instance.Format(e.Row.Cells(e.ColumnIndex).Value, GetType(String), e.Column), String)
        End If
    End Sub

End Class
