Am I the only one still having scrolling performance issues? We are considering using Xceed, but with the current performance, it is not an option. And as I don't see any performance fixes on the road map, that basically means that we'll have to drop Xceed.

 Am I doing something wrong?

When using the grid in a Master/detail arrangement,  the detail grid header should not scroll out of view.  Presently when the detail grid view contains more records than will fit in the window and the user scrolls,  the header scrolls out of view.

.

The Formatting a cell's content  needs to be there on cells based on the column header. There must be some property in column header that sets the cell content to a specfic format.

If the double value is attached to the grid. It should br possible to format the content with some fixed format.

Right now we need to have datatemplate for this, which is very bad even after having such good features.

Thanks

Hope you will look into this and have a fix in Q4

best of luck

Too,

You should describe your issue to support@xceedsoft.com. Furthermore, there *are* performance improvements on the horizon, check out this channel9 video.

Hello,

 

I have a couple of quick questions about the Export to Excel function that you will be having in your next release.

1) Will Columns that are hidden be exported?  (Hopefully not---or the developer will at least have some way to prevent them from being exported)

2) Will the Column FieldNames be used for the headers in Excel?   Or will the Column Titles be used?  Or can we select which one?

Hidden columns will not be exported and you will have the option of either displaying the field name or the title in the headers. By default, titles will be used.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

A couple features we'd like to see:

1) Ability to make Validation errors from IDataErrorInfo restrictive.

2) Column header grouping.  If we have multiple columns that are related, we'd like a group header over the relaated header.  E.g "Prior Year" vs "Current Year",

In a message above sse said about filtering:

 

"2) The filtering capabilities (list of distinct elements) are too limited. Let's compare to what is available on other grids (operators (begins, like, greater than, etc.), ranges)."

 

I would love to see this very useful feature add as well.  I was wondering if the Xceed team had any plans to perhaps implement that?

 

 

Hi Zed,

That's what this thread is for, so we can be sure to work on the right things. A more feature-rich filtering system is noted. We're planning to publish an updated roadmap in January at which point you'll know what we'll be working on for the next upcoming versions.

Hi Odi,

 

The PDC smooth scrolling demo looks very interesting.   However all your demos assume thousands of 'single line' rows.  My app needs to display a small number of 'tall' rows; i.e row height maybe 2-3 inches and so there may be only 2 or 3 rows on a page and maybe 5 pages.  There is quite a lot of binding for each row so I want to be able to display the first page as fast as possible and then create the other pages in the background.  Virtualizing in the current grid produces a jumping effect as it only scrolls complete rows.  It looks as if the smooth scrolling in the PDC demo will do what I want - could you confirm this?  In particular, is there a mechanism to preload rows either side of the current page so that when the user scrolls slowly there is no delay?

Thanks

Michael

Michael,

The smooth scrolling should do what you want, and it has a built-in mechanism to preload rows before and after the current page (I believe it will imitate the Cardflow 3D view in that you will be able to adjust how many rows before and after the current page to load).

Another feature you may want to add would be to allow a user to select color printing.

I am not sure if this is doable or not but would be a nice little additional feature to have.

 

Hi,

 

we have bought the Xceed Grid for WPF a couple of month ago and it's working great since then.

 

We would now like to vote for a "RowEditor" as a new feature request.

 

Currently, each editor is displayed in its corresponding cell.

In our application, the columns of our grids are showing only a subset of the information of the dataitem.

If the user clicks on a row, an editor should show up, giving the user the possibility to edit all the information the dataitem contains.

This editor should not be displayed inside a single cell but should fill the whole row.

 

I guess this is not possible at present, or am I wrong?

We could play with different row templates, but this would be much easier if there were some sort

of DataRow.TemplateSelector.

 

A RowEditor would enable us to implement the Xceed Grid for WPF in more ways than we can today.

 

Thanks,

Michael.

 

I need the "Easier support for unbound columns" right now.  I'm surprised that this feature isn't in more WPF grids, as I have used it SO much in WinForms DataGridView and infragistics UltraGrid for WinForms.  I guess I'll be creating bogus properties on my data objects for now...  Hopefully there will be a good example on how to do this when it is realeased.

I'm glad to see the Export to Excell is coming soon.  

 It would also be nice if the Xceed Grid for WPF did exporting to PDF!

Hi Ryan,

- Easier support for unbound columns is slated for v3.2 currently. There are about 4 releases a year so at current estimates v3.2 would be about 4-5 months away.

- Export to Excel is ready for v3.1, January. To beta test, email me at odi@xceed.com

- Exporting to PDF, we did that in our Windows Forms datagrid, but if you would like to see it in the WPF datagrid, we'd like you to describe what you expect it to do. For example, would you like it to be a PDF version of exactly what is sent to the printer when you use the datagrid's printing capabilities?

Thanks for the feedback.
