Is there a workaround I can apply in the server-side code in the OnExport?  I have access to all the data in the data set.  What about the export itself, i.e., is there an API I can call and pass the data set to get the data in the format requested or something similar?  Thank you.

Hello Handy,

Okay, that's what I was looking for.  I'll give that a try.  Thank you.

I wanted to share the workaround I found for this and the cause of the problem.

When the Show() command is called, unfortunately, it doesn't correctly set the cmd object's OffsetElement which is crucial to WHERE the menu is placed when pulled down.  This was null and I had to force it to be set via the code below.

oMenuBar.SelectMenu(cmd.Menu);
cmd.Menu.OffsetElement = cmd._HtmlObj;
cmd.Menu.Show();

It would be ideal to have the Show() command do this to ensure the sub menu is correctly positioned.  I hope you'll provide a fix for this soon.   Thanks.

Hi Andi,

Okay, I'll try your method but it will be a few days before I get back to it.  In the meanwhile, here's how we get rid of the text.

Andi,

I tried updating our skin file but it had no impact.  Here's our skin settings for the grid.  The changes I made are in blue and bolded.
