Pixel bug in Lightweight Templates of RadGridView in VisualStudio2013 and Office2013 themes:

No horizontal grid lines when cell has background color:

Most likely bottom margin of PART_CellBorder not set in VisualStudio2013 Theme. In Office2016 PART_CellBorder.Margin="0 0 0 1"

• Open the GridView examples
• In the available examples, select "Selection and Usability | Row Details"
• Select a row in the grid view
• In the external Details Presenter, select : nothing is displayed in the bottom.
• You have to select another row and then come back to show the detail.

The fix for this issue will be available with the next LIB (version 2018.3.1217) expected on Monday, December 17.

This issue manifests when RadGridView loaded some columns first (which are working) and then add more columns. The additional columns cannot paste values in their cells.

To work this around, mark the new columns as auto generated and call one of the internal methods.

newColumn.IsAutoGenerated = true;
this.gridView.Columns.Add(newColumn);

var collectionViewPropInfo = this.gridView.Items.GetType().GetProperty("CollectionView", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
var qcv = (QueryableCollectionView)collectionViewPropInfo.GetValue(this.gridView.Items);
var methodInfo = qcv.GetType().GetMethod("OnElementTypeChanged", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic);
methodInfo.Invoke(qcv, new object[0]);

The background of the GridView's group headers has a light background in the dark color variation of the Windows 11 theme. 

This reproduces only the GroupRenderMode property of RadGridView is set to Nested (the default value).

To work this around set the  GroupRenderMode property of RadGridView to Flat.

Filtering the data by distinct value using the filter query optimization doesn't work properly when adding more than 500 distinct values. To reproduce this, set the OptimizeDistinctFilterQuery property of the corresponding column to True. The distinct values should be filtered using the ColumnFilterDescriptor and the AddDistinctValue method of the DistinctFilter.

In that case, the filter can get reversed and remove the selected distinct values from the data view, instead of adding only them, as would be expected. Or the filter can stop working at all and display all values from the ItemsSource.

To work this around, instead of using the ColumnFilterDescriptor and the AddDistinctValue method, add a composite filter descriptor manually in the FilterDescriptors of RadGridView.

radGridView.FilterDescriptors.SuspendNotifications();
var distinctValuesFilter = new CompositeFilterDescriptor();
distinctValuesFilter.LogicalOperator = FilterCompositionLogicalOperator.Or;
for (int i = 0; i < 5000; i++)
{
	object disctincValue = i;
	var filter = new FilterDescriptor("Id", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, disctincValue);
	distinctValuesFilter.FilterDescriptors.Add(filter);                
}
radGridView.FilterDescriptors.Add(distinctValuesFilter);
radGridView.FilterDescriptors.ResumeNotifications();

Setting ShowDistinctFilters for a RadGridViewColumn hides the distinct values from the filter popup as expected.

But the grid still queries the ItemsSource for distinct values of said column when showing thje popup - it calls something like

MyQueryable.Select(item => item.SomeColumn).Distinct().OrderBy(item => item).Take(1000))

The current row indicator visual (the right pointing arrow) gets hidden if you enter edit mode of a cell (which shows the cell edit indicator) and then press Esc two times. The first time cancel the cell editing and the second time cancels the row editing. 

This reproduces in the VisualStudio2013 theme.

To work this around, extract the ControlTemplate of GridViewRow for the VisualStudio2013 theme and add the following MultiTrigger at the bottom of the template (last in the ControlTemplate.Triggers collection).

<MultiTrigger>
	<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
		<Condition Property="IsValid" Value="True"/>
		<Condition Property="IsCurrent" Value="True"/>
		<Condition Property="IsInEditMode" Value="False"/>
	</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
	<Setter TargetName="NavigatorIndicator" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
</MultiTrigger>

The aggregate values shown in the group headers are wrong when scrolling. This happens when the EnableColumnVirtualization property is set to False and ColumnAggregatesAlignment is NextToGroupKey or BelowGroupKey.

To work this around, set the EnableColumnVirtualization property to True or ColumnAggregatesAlignment to NoAlignment. 

"ArgumentException: Must specify valid information for parsing in the string."

The exception is handled internally but results in the filtering not being applied.

SearchStateManager property is null when trying to change any of the properties of the SearchStateManager object in the Loaded event. This behavior is observed when the ShowSearchPanel property is not set to true initially.

Hi Telerik,

I have created a sample project for an issue I have found:

Please see the code behind of the sample.

When removing a column from a grid where the display index was changed, and rows are selected, I do get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. 

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!
