  4. Mysterious Extra Column in PDF Export

Mysterious Extra Column in PDF Export

I have a grid using

- Custom Data Adapter

- Custom Agregates

- Template Columns

- Grouping by Defualt

PDF Export Settings

- Custom Columns defined in the PDF  export action to set widths/headers

ExportProperties.DisableAutoFitWidth = true;

ExportProperties.IncludeCommandColumn = false;

ExportProperties.IncludeTemplateColumn = false;

ExportProperties.AllowHorizontalOverflow = false;


When exporting to PDF a mysterious extra column which has no header and no cell value. It looks around 100px wide and has a solid black border appearance which is different to all other columns. It is appened as an overflow onto a second page.

Changing the width value individually of all defined columns seems to have no effect on this column.. 

I have tried removing command columns entirely and it still appears.

Hi Renjith

Hi Daniel,


Thanks for sharing the details.


We have analyzed the shared sample and we could see that you are trying to display the grouped column(which is hidden because of grouping) during pdf exporting. As the ShowGroupedColumn property value of GridGroupSettings is false(by default) it continues to hide the content of the grouped column which is causing the reported behavior.


So based on your scenario we suggest you to enable the ShowGroupedColumn property to display the contents of the grouped column in grid so that the grouped column content will also be displayed in the exported pdf file.


 

<GridGroupSettings Columns="@Initial" ShowGroupedColumn="true"></GridGroupSettings>

 


Please use the above suggestion to overcome the reported scenario.


Regards,

Renjith R
