Hi Patrick,

Could you please send me a sample which replicates your issue? Also, if you don't mind, please create a new thread regarding this issue. I will need your sample to investigate the issue because R2 supports XHTML.

Regards,
Handy

Hello,
We have similar misalignment issue with IE7 in XHTML mode and the R2 didn't correct it. It looks like the issue is appearing when we set the width in pixel ...

Patrick,

Sometimes the alignment issues can be corrected by making sure the DOCTYPE is exactly as follows at the top of your pages and/or master page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

This info was directly from InterSoft and it did help in our situation under certain conditions.

I am sorry. Just want to correct what i said. They actually are the same. About contextMenu customization at header column, I still don't know exactly the time. Our developer teams have not give any news about that.

Handy

Hello Handy,

I'm not sure what you mean by "a little different with yours" other than you can replicate it but at a different place in the JavaScript code?

Any how, we really need this fixed because we need to use the Reset to also reset our grid back to its default settings. The reason we need to use the Reset is because, at the moment, we can't customize this context menu.

How soon will you have the feature to allow customization of the column context menu? We can really use this. Thank you.

Hi,

I can replicate an issue when reset columns with some non-visible columns. Maybe the error seems a little different with yours but i will forward this to our developer teams. Thank you for video.

Regards,
Handy

I updated the flash recording so I can make it public. Attached is the recording with no audio. But here's an explanation for what happens that you should be able to follow.

Grid load with some columns visible and some not
Select columns -> Reset fails
Debug shows it fails because ve9945.GetElement() returns null into v82c92. Note the Name property of ve9945 shows the name of the first column that's not selected (contactUserTypeID) to be visible
I go back to the grid after failure and select the contactUserTypeID to be visible and apply the changes
I try the Reset again but it fails again but this time at the next non-visible column, i.e., contactUserValueID which would keep happening unless I select all the non-visible columns
So I then select all the non-visible columns to be visible and apply the changes
Now, with all the columns visible, the Reset works fine

I have a flash video that shows this issue but I don't want to post it publicly. Is there a private way to provide you with files?

I'd love to if I could. You wouldn't have to ask as I would have already done so. But I really can't since the grid control is modified by us, i.e., customized and works within our environment. But like I said, we've only modified the server-side code that creates the columns and formats them, so I don't know why that would impact your embedded JavaScript.

Here's basically what we override (keep in mind that this all worked fine with WebGrid 6 and only a problem after we upgraded to v7):

OnInit - we register our own custom client-side javascript and assign the LayoutSettings.ClientSideEvents
OnInitializePostBack - we set some of our own custom properties based on the action parameter and save the structure via SaveTablesStructureToXml
PrismGridView_InitializeRow - we add our own CustomAttributes attribute to the cell
OnPreRender - we add our own client-side pageLoad method to do some client side updates after the page loads
OnPrepareDataBinding - we do our custom work here to format the grid according to our grid definition structure that comes from the database.

That's pretty much it.

Could you send over a sample replicating the Reset issue?

Thank you.

I just used the SelectColumns | Reset from the columns context menu and it caused the runtime error: 'parentElement' is null or not an object.

The specific javascript code is: var vb6c39=v82c92.parentElement;

When I broke into the code, it showed the object v82c92 is null. What now? We need this to work ASAP please as it happens on all our grids.
