Grid lines missing

[Daron]

Hi,

In version 2008.1.416.35 of the controls I've noticed that the RadGrid's gridlines are missing when the grid first loads. When you click another row, all the gridlines magically re-appear.

Any idea why?

Cheers,

Daron

Hi Daron,

Try binding the Grid using the AdvanceDataBinding techniques.
Advanced data-binding

Hi Princy,
Unfortunately this solution is no good for me since I already have everything coded up nicely and working well (apart from the missing gridlines of course!).

The reason I decided to not go down the NeedDataSource path in the first place is that I found it to be inflexible and it fired at times when I didn't want it to, etc.. The gridlines worked fine in the previous version of the control (and I wasn't using NeedDataSource then either).

Cheers,
Daron

Hi Darron,

Can you try setting the GridLines in the PreRender event and see whether it is appearing or not?

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GridLines = GridLines.Both;

    }

No joy.
In fact it looks worse now because the whole grid is surrounded by an ugly html-style table border but the gridlines are still missing until I select a row??

Cheers,
Daron

Hello Daron,

I am not sure, but this looks like an Internet Explorer bug related to the hasLayout property. Could you provide a live URL or open a new support ticket and attach a simple working project so that we investigate further ?

Before that, you can try adding the following CSS rule to your application to see whether it makes any difference:

.RadGrid_SkinName,
.RadGrid_SkinName *
{
    zoom: 1;
}

No luck Dimo.

Sorry, can't provide a live url and flat-out busy so can't come up with a sample project at the moment. It's annoying because the grid looks super-slick once the gridlines load (ie, when I click another row) but looks buggy/unprofessional on first load.

Hi Daron,

I am sorry, but this is all I can think of without looking at a demo of the problem. Feel free to send us an URL or sample project when you have more time and we will investigate right away.

By the way, can you reproduce the issue on some of our online examples?

This is happening whenever the grid first loads and I've noticed the scenario for when they magically re-appear. The gridlines stay hidden until I hover over the column headers. So there must be some javascript that's being executed in the mouseover event of the headers that's fixing the problem. But why don't the gridlines appear in the first place?

Hi Daron,

We are willing to help you with this issue, but the provided information is not enough for us to reproduce the problem, as we have not experienced the described behavior before. We will appreciate if you open a new support ticket and send us a live URL or a working project or at least a code snippet, so that we can investigate further. Thank you very much in advance.

The situation seems to get even worse when I add:

<scrolling allowscroll="True" usestaticheaders="True"></scrolling> to the <ClientSettings/> section.

Now the gridlines don't even appear when I click a row or hover over the column headers!

Hi Daron,

As I said earlier, in order to help you with the GridLines issue, we need to reproduce it locally. Hence, we need enough sample code, live URL or a whole working project. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I know this thread is pretty old, but I have the same problem using the latest version of the grid control in advanced binding. On postback part of the grid lines disappear and they show up as soon as I move the mouse over the header or click on a row. Did you ever find a solution that worked for you?

Thanks,
Vithiya

Hi Vithiya,

Such browser-related (actually IE-related) problems have no universal solution or workaround. Please send us a simple example and we will fiddle with it and see what needs to be changed, so that the borders appear always.
