Column Reordering not Behaving as Expected

[Rick Thompson]

S 2013

Syncfusion MVC: 12.1451.0.49

I'm creating a web page that allow the user to create various layouts for the grid. For example one user may prefer to hide/show certain columns, change the column order, or change the column widths.

I notice that when a column reorder takes place the column width does not "follow" the column. That is to say wherever the column is dropped the apparent width is what was previously in the position columns to the right of the insertion point slide to left, as expected, but take on the width of whatever the previous column was.

The real problem though is if I get the column information of a column just moved the original width is still given in the column data. For example if I move a column and then using something like gridObj.getColumnByField("...") the Width is still the original width even though on the display it is not.

The behavior is consistent in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.

One more question, is there methods to retrieve the layout and also restore the layout?

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick

Thank you using Syncfusion products.

Query #1: “when a column reorder takes place the column width does not "follow" the column”

We have confirmed that the issue with "Width not changed while reordering column" is a defect and we have logged a defect report. The fix for this issue is estimated to be available on Volume 2, 2014 Service Pack release.

 

Query #2: “is there methods to retrieve the layout and also restore the layout?”

 

We can maintain the grid state using “persist” in Grid. When the Persist is set as true, the grid state will be stored in the localStorage and the grid will be rendered using the data in localStorage while refreshing. Please refer our online demo for State Maintenance in  Grid.
