I have a winform application with several radgridviews.  I have added export functionality, but do not see how to skip a column when exporting.

 

I did some research but nothing I found specifically shows / code examples of how this can be done in winform.

Here is my code.   

 GridViewSpreadExport spreadExporter = new GridViewSpreadExport(gv);

                spreadExporter.HiddenColumnOption = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Export.HiddenOption.DoNotExport;
                spreadExporter.ExportVisualSettings = true;
                SpreadExportRenderer exportRenderer = new SpreadExportRenderer();

                spreadExporter.RunExport(filename, exportRenderer);

 

I did try this:

radGridView1.Columns[0].ExcelExportType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Export.DisplayFormatType.None;

and then calling the above code, but the column still shows up.

 

Why isn't there a simple property on the column ShowInExport we can set to True/False?

 

Thanks,

 

Roger

Hi, Roger,

Indeed, the HiddenColumnOption property defines whether hidden columns will be exported. If you set it to DoNotExport, the exporter will not export hidden columns.

I have prepared a sample project for your reference. Please give it a try and see how it works on your end.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Dess,

This is a hidden column, I am wanting to NOT export a shown column.  I have a "Select" button column in my grid and when exporting I don't want this column exported.

I mistakenly thought you could hide a column then export and it would not be exported.

Thanks,

Roger

Hi, Roger,

In order to skip a visible column from exporting, it would be necessary to hide it just before the export action is called and then make this column visible again. An alternative approach is to populate a dummy grid with the desired columns and export his dummy grid.

Feel free to use this approach which suits your requirements best.
