Pressing pdf export is not generating any event

[Salabat Khan]

Hi,

Pressing pdf export is not generating any event for my gridview. Can you please send a very small demo of how to achieve this. The sample provided is perfectly working but in my case the dialogue is not appearing.

Thanks

Hi Salabat, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Query 1: Pressing pdf export is not generating any event for my gridview. 

 

We have analyzed your query and we suspect that you need an event while press the export in Grid.  

 

So, we suggest you to use the toolbarClick event of ejGrid. Trigger the toolbarClick event while pressing the export toolbar items like excelExport, wordExport, pdfExport in Grid control. 

 

Refer the below code example. 

 

 

<ej:Grid ID="FlatGrid" runat="server"  AllowPaging="True"> 

 

            <ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="true" ToolbarItems="excelExport,wordExport,pdfExport"></ToolbarSettings> 

 

            <ClientSideEvents ToolbarClick="toolbarClickevent" /> 

            

            <Columns> 

                 

                --------------------- 

 

           </Columns> 

                      

</ej:Grid> 

 

 

If you need the events in server side itself then you can use server events for the exporting in ejGrid control.  

 

The server event for exporting is triggered when a request to export the Grid.   

 

Refer the below code  example. 

 

 

<ej:Grid ID="FlatGrid" runat="server" IsResponsive="true"  

 

OnServerWordExporting="FlatGrid_ServerWordExporting"  /*Server event for word exporting*/ 

 

OnServerPdfExporting="FlatGrid_ServerPdfExporting" /*Server event for pdf exporting*/ 

 

 

OnServerExcelExporting="FlatGrid_ServerExcelExporting" /*Server event for excel exporting*/ 

 

 

AllowPaging="True"> 

 

            <ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="true" ToolbarItems="excelExport,wordExport,pdfExport"></ToolbarSettings> 

 

                        

            <Columns> 

                 

                 -------------------- 

 

            </Columns> 

                      

       </ej:Grid> 

 

 

 

In addition that, the OnServerPdfQueryCellInfo event is triggered every time data is written to the cell of the PdfGrid table and also this event is triggered every time as that of the cell written to the grid table. 

 

 

<ej:Grid ID="OrdersGrid" runat="server" AllowPaging="true"  

 

OnServerPdfQueryCellInfo="OrdersGrid_ServerPdfQueryCellInfo"  

 

OnServerPdfExporting="OrdersGrid_ServerPdfExporting"> 

 

 

 

  ---------------------- 

 

</ej:Grid> 

 

 

 

Refer the below online sample.

Hi, Nice to see your detailed reply. In the second part of my question, I wanted to say that the dialogue box which asks for file name (when exporting) is not appearing.

Anyhow, I am interested in server side export event. I am attaching the project sample in which I am unable to receive the server side call to function when any of the export buttons on toolbar is pressed.

Regards

Hi Salabat, 

 

Query 1:  I wanted to say that the dialogue box which asks for file name (when exporting) is not appearing. 

 

Please ensure your browser download settings for prompt dialog opening while downloading. But we have called for the default prompt type while exporting the Grid. So, change your download settings for the dialog prompt window while downloading a file. 

 

Query 2: I am unable to receive the server side call to function when any of the export buttons on toolbar is pressed 

 

We have checked your sample and in that you are not added ScriptManager control in the Site.Master page. 

 

Refer the below code example. 

 

 

<body> 

   <form runat="server"> 

        <asp:ScriptManager runat="server"> 

             

        </asp:ScriptManager> 

    <div class="page"> 

        <div class="header"> 

            <div class="title"> 

 

       ------------------- 

 

</form> 

</body> 

 

 

We have changed the sample according to the solution and it can be downloadable from the below location.
