Yes i want to print all the rows in the grid. I have not enabled paging in my grid.

Hi Suresh,

you can use, rows method of igGrid which returns you a list of all TR elements holding data in the grid.

Then you can iterate trough them and append them to a table. Once you have them in the table you can print the table, using whatever technique you want

Here is an example how to get the rows into a table:

    $('<table id="resultTable" ></table>').appendTo($('#printHolder'));
    var rows = $('#grid2').igGrid('allRows');
    rows.each(function(index) {
     $(this).clone().appendTo($('#resultTable'));
    });

Hope that helps

Great!!! but my requirement is i dont want to open a new page when the user hits on print button. It has to open the print dialog directly and print the grid contents only and not anyother content in a page.

Hi Martin,

 Will this work in the same page where i have the grid.   My requirement is i have users page with user information in a grid. And there is a print button on the same page. When the user clicks print button only the grid contents needs to be printed by opening a print dialog without opening a new page. Hope you are clear. Pls let me know in case i am not clear.

Hello Suresh A,

Yes. This should work in your case.

Please try it and return feedback.

Hi,

Thank you for solving my problem with paginated tables.
If you want to have styles for the table I want to print, as it should?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a solution which assumes that the whole data is available in the browser i.e. grid is not configured to use remote paging.

The idea is to get the data form the grid data source object and then use it to generate new table with the whole data in it. The original igGrid is not touched. CSS media rules are used to hide the original igGrid when in @media print and show the generated one and vice versa in @media screen mode. If you use a custom button for printing you can delay the generation of the print table until the button is clicked. If you want user to be able to use the browser "Print" button then you should generate the print table after you create the igGrid.

The downside of this method is that you should keep an extra TABLE element in the DOM. If there are too many records in the data source then this may degrade the performance of the page.

Attached you can find a reference implementation of the described method. I used custom button for printing in order to show you a workaround for Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer doesn't like  generating the print table on demand before printing. That's why I use conditional comments for IE in order to workaround the problem.

P.S.: It doesn't make sense to use remote paging in case that you want to print the whole data. That's why I didn't cover that scenario.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I have a question similar to this post resolved.

How could we get all the data in the table if the grid is paged? If the grid is paged, we can only access the data of the displayed page. Will print only the current page data. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

I have uploaded a sample code and the issue which i am facing. Kindly have a look at it and provide me a solution for the same.
