Inserting rows

[Joseph Williamson]

I have 3 functions i was using with `DataGridView` and when switching over to `GridDataBoundGrid` these functions no longer work and i cant seem to understand why

Hi Joseph, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion product. 

We can understand your scenario. In DataGridView, RowIndex(0) has considered from first record row but GridDataBoundGrid has considered the RowIndex(0) from column header. So, if you want to add the new row after/ before based on the current row index, please make use of the below code and refer the attached sample, 

Code example 

GridDataBoundGrid grid = this.tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.OfType<GridDataBoundGrid>().First(); 

//Insert after 

index = grid.CurrentCell.RowIndex; 

 

//Insert before 

index = grid.CurrentCell.RowIndex - 1; 

 

DataRow dr = ds.Tables[tabindex].NewRow(); 

ds.Tables[tabindex].Rows.InsertAt(dr, index);

Note:   

Moreover, you can use the GridGroupingControl instead of GridDataBoundGrid. GridGroupingControl has more features and support. It is used to display the binding source with more flexible manipulation like sorting, grouping, filtering.

I must say this software is highly disappointing after using telerik I'm just very disappointed at how horrible this add on is

Hi Joseph,  

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

In our GridDataBoundGrid, we have calculated the row and column index based on the visible cells. So, if you want to add the new row before/after the current row using bounded collection(DataTable), you should calculate the row index using below code. This is our current architecture of GridDataBoundGrid. 

 

Code example 

//Insert Row before 

int count = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.ShowColumnHeaders ? 1 : 0; 

index = grid.CurrentCell.RowIndex - count;

Please let us know, if you facing any other difficulties to use our GridDataBoundGrid.

When I downloaded syncfusion I was looking for something visually appealing like teleriks RadGridView out of the box however syncfusion doesn't have any gridviews that are visually appealing out of the box plus telerik their RadGridView works directly with all my functions that were made for DataGridView so I believe I'm gonna be uninstalling syncfusion but thand anyways

Query	Solution
visually appealing like teleriks RadGridView out of the box however syncfusion doesn't have any gridviews that are visually appealing out of the box	GridDataBoundgrid having more appearance which can be achieved by using GridVisualStyles property. Please refer to the below code example,    The following appearances are available for GridDataBoundGrid,  Metro Office2003Black Office2007Black Office2007Blue Office2007Silver Office2010Black Office2010Blue Office2010Silver   Code example  this.gridDataBoundGrid1.GridVisualStyles = GridVisualStyles.Metro;     Please let us know what kind of appearance do you want for the  GridDataBoundGrid    Note:  This support also available for GridGroupingControl. Please refer the below UG link,  https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/gridgrouping/visual-styles
telerik their RadGridView works directly with all my functions that were made for DataGridView so I believe I'm gonna be uninstalling syncfusion but thand anyways	We have provided the solution based on our GridDataBoundGrid current architecture. We are maintaining the column header in index due to maintaining the all visible cellstyles and Visible cells details. So, this is our default behavior and we cannot change this behavior.

Your reply is much appreciated after looking over the styles I am very pleased with the outcome(maybe this should be mentioned more in the docs) I am still not happy about the functionality but I believe I may be able to put up with it now :)

While here perhaps you can provide a solution for this issue as well...

 Hi Joseph,  

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

GridDataBoundGrid has marked as a classic control. Since the GridDataBoundGrid is classic control, the development is no longer for this control was not provided. So, that we have suggested to use the GridGroupingControl for your requirements. You can use the GridGroupingControl instead of GridDataBoundGrid. GridGroupingControl have more features and support compare than GridDataBoundGrid(Classic). And, GridGroupingControl has proper documentation for all features and support. Please refer the following UG links, 

 

• Binding
• Filtering
• Sorting
• Grouping
• Appearance and formatting
• GridVisualStyles
• CellTypes
• Localization
• Exporting

 

Note: 

We have considered your feedback and we will update our documentation for GridDataBoundGrid(Classic). It will be available on any of our upcoming release. 

 

Please let us know, if you have any concerns.
