How to move the custom tool items in front position of ASP.NET Web Forms Grid toolbar list?
In ASP.NET Web Forms Grid, items added under the custom toolbar items will displayed after the default toolbar items. This is the default behavior. This can be rearranged and move the custom tools prior to the default toolbar items in the dataBound event of the Grid which has been discussed in this KB.
HTML:
<div id="Grid"></div>
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#Grid").ejGrid({
dataSource: window.gridData,
allowPaging: true,
pageSettings: { pageSize: 8 },
groupSettings: {
groupedColumns: ["EmployeeID"]
},
allowGrouping: true,
editSettings: { allowAdding: true, allowEditing: true, allowDeleting: true },
toolbarSettings: { showToolbar: true,
toolbarItems: ["add","edit","delete","update","cancel"],
customToolbarItems: ["Expand", "Collapse", { templateID: "#Refresh" }]
},
dataBound: "databound",
//do custom action needed for
//required custom tools
//in toolbarClick event
toolbarClick: "onToolBarClick",
columns: [
{ field: "OrderID", headerText: "Order ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
{ field: "CustomerID", headerText: "Customer ID" },
{ field: "EmployeeID", headerText: "Employee ID", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right },
{ field: "Freight", headerText: "Freight", textAlign: ej.TextAlign.Right, format: "{0:C}" },
{ field: "ShipCity", headerText: "Ship City" }
]
});
});</script>
Razor:
@(Html.EJ().Grid<object>("Grid")
.AllowPaging()
.AllowGrouping()
.GroupSettings(grp=>grp.GroupedColumns(g=>g.Add("EmployeeID")))
.ToolbarSettings(toolbar =>
{
toolbar.ShowToolbar().ToolbarItems(items =>
{
items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Add);
items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Edit);
items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Delete);
items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Update);
items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Cancel);
})
.CustomToolbarItems(new List<object>() {
"Expand", "Collapse",
new Syncfusion.JavaScript.Models.CustomToolbarItem() {
TemplateID = "#Refresh"
}
});
})
.EditSettings(edit=>edit.AllowAdding().AllowDeleting().AllowEditing())
.ClientSideEvents(e => {
//rearrange the tools
e.DataBound("databound");
//do custom action needed for
//required custom tools
//in toolbarClick event
e.ToolbarClick("onToolBarClick");
})
.Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Add();
col.Field("EmployeeID").HeaderText("EmployeeID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Add();
col.Field("Freight").Format("{0:C}").HeaderText("Freight").Add();
col.Field("ShipCity").HeaderText("Ship City").Add();
})
)

public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.dataSource = OrderRepository.GetAllRecords();
return View();

Template and CSS:
<script id="Refresh" type="text/x-jsrender"> <a class="e-toolbaricons e-icon refresh" /> </script>
<style type="text/css" class="cssStyles">
.Expand:before {
content: "\e627";
}
.Collapse:before {
content: "\e625";
}
.refresh:before {
content: "\e677";
}
</style>
Grid toolbar separated the default items and custom items under two different ul elements. In the databound event, collect all the elements from second ul element (or custom item list). Prepend the required items to the first ul or to the default items.
<script type="text/javascript">
function databound(args) {
// custom items
var liElem = this.element.find(".e-gridtoolbar ul:eq('1') li");
//default items
var firstUl = this.element.find(".e-gridtoolbar ul:eq(0)");
for (var l = 0 ; l < 2; l++) {
//moving only two icons to front
//leaving the last icon
firstUl.prepend($(liElem[l]).detach());
}
}
</script>
Angular2:
<ej-grid id="Grid" #grid [allowPaging]="true" [editSettings]="edit" (dataBound)="databound($event)" [toolbarSettings]="toolbarsettings" >
<e-columns>
<e-column field="OrderID" headerText="Order ID" textAlign="right" ></e-column>
<e-column field="CustomerID" headerText="Customer ID"></e-column>
<e-column field="EmployeeID" headerText="Employee Name" textAlign="right"></e-column>
<e-column field="Freight" format="{0:C}" textAlign="right"></e-column>
<e-column field="ShipCity" headerText="Ship City"></e-column>
</e-columns>
</ej-grid>
TypeScript:
import { Component, OnInit, Input, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { EJComponents } from "ej-angular2/src/ej/core";
@Component({
selector: 'ej-app',
templateUrl: 'src/grid/grid.component.html',
})
export class GridComponent {
constructor() {
this.toolbarsettings = {
showToolbar: true,

Note:
A new version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET is available. Versions prior to the release of Essential Studio 2014, Volume 2 will now be referred to as a classic versions.The new ASP.NET suite is powered by Essential Studio for JavaScript providing client-side rendering of HTML 5-JavaScript controls, offering better performance, and better support for touch interactivity. The new version includes all the features of the old version, so migration is easy.
The Classic controls can be used in existing projects; however, if you are starting a new project, we recommend using the latest version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET. Although Syncfusion will continue to support all Classic Versions, we are happy to assist you in migrating to the newest edition.
For current customers, you can check out our components from the License and Downloads page. If you are new to Syncfusion, you can try our 30-day free trial to check out our other controls. If you have any queries or require clarifications, please let us know in the comments section below.
