Media rules - responsive design

TreeGrid documentation

TreeGrid can apply different attributes for different screen sizes or other settings like style, like CSS @media rule.
It is possible to show / hide particular rows, columns or space cells. Change column width or height. Or change any other configuration attributes, especially for grid size.
It is not possible to change row or column order. It is not possible to add new or remove existing rows or columns.
It is possible to change default rows attributes, but it is not possible to change default columns attributes.
The items changed by Media should not be saved to / loaded from cookies. The loaded configuration for these items is overwritten by original values.

Example:
<Media>
   <M MaxWidth="1024">
      <Cols>
         <C Name="A" Visible="0"/> <C Name="B" Width="50"/>
      </Cols>
      <Rows>
         <I id="Toolbar" Visible="0"/>
      </Rows>
      <Cfg NoHScroll="1"/>
      <Lang>
         <MenuCfg Caption="Small caption"/>
      </Lang>
   </M>
   <M MaxHeight="800">
      <Rows>
         <I id="Filter" Visible="0"/> <I id="Header" Visible="0"/>
      </Rows>
   </M>
</Media>
new 12.1 upd 13.0 <Media>

<M>

<M> tag defines individual one media settings.
It can be placed in root <Media> tag.
It contains its specific attributes to determine if the rule will be applied or not like MaxWidth or MinHeight.
If there is no such attribute, the media rule is applied always.
If more media <M> tags fulfill actual conditions, they are applied in the order they are defined.

The <M> tag can contain only these sub tags to set their attributes to grid:
<Cols> - contains individual columns as <C> tags with at least Name attribute to identify the column to change.
<Rows> - contains individual rows as <I> tags, including fixed and space rows, with at least id attribute to identify the row to change.
<Pagers> - (since 13.0)contains individual side pagers as <P> tags.
<Def> - contains default rows as <D> tags with at least Name attribute to identify the default row to change.
<Lang> - contains all Lang sub tags like <Format> or <Text> to change particular language settings.
<Cfg> - contains attribute to change in configuration.
<MenuCfg>, <MenuColumns>, <MenuPrint>, <MenuExport> - contains attributes to change in particular menu.
<Actions> - contains attributes to change in action schema.

Since 13.0 it is possible to change columns, defs, pagers and rows with specific attribute value.
Set the row id or column/def/pager Name as "*Attribute*Value", e.g. <D Name="*Color*Red" Color="Blue" changes all default rows Color attribute from Red to Blue.
new 12.1 upd 15.0 <M> string

Tag

What will be tested against the MaxWidth, MinWidth, Width, MaxHeight, MinHeight, Height attributes.
If set to empty string (default), tests actual viewport (window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight).
If set to 1, tests grid main tag clientWidth / clientHeight.
Since 15.0 If set to 2, tests grid main tag clientWidth / clientHeight, but if set NoHScroll / NoVScroll tests last size of main tag before plus actual viewport change since change.
If set to id of some HTML tag on page, it tests this tag clientWidth / clientHeight.
If set, the tag size must not be affected by grid size or the grid size must not be affected by the media changes.
new 12.1 <Cfg> string

MediaTag

[""]
Default value used for all Media Tags.
new 12.1 <M> string

Media

The <M> rule will be applied only on given media device. Case insensitive keyword. If not set, the rule is used for all devices.
Screen - screen device, both desktop and tablets.

Tablet - touchscreen device, controlled primarily by fingers.
Print - printer device or print to PDF. Ignores all <M> size attributes like MaxWidth.
Export - export to Xlsx/Xls/Csv. Ignores all <M> size attributes like MaxWidth.
new 12.1 <M> int

MaxWidth

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window width is less or equal to given value in pixels.
new 12.1 <M> int

MinWidth

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window width is greater or equal to given value in pixels.
new 12.1 <M> int

Width

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window width is equal to given value in pixels.
new 12.1 <M> int

MaxHeight

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window height is less or equal to given value in pixels.
new 12.1 <M> int

MinHeight

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window height is greater or equal to given value in pixels.
new 12.1 <M> int

Height

The <M> rule will be applied only if the browser window height is equal to given value in pixels.
new 14.0 <M> string[]

Language

The <M> rule will be applied only if the grid has given language. It can be comma separated list of language codes to be applied for any of them, if the <Cfg Language> contains the code.
new 12.1 upd 13.0 <M> string[]

Style

The <M> rule will be applied only if the grid has given style. The Style is <Cfg Style> as style prefix like "TS" or "TW".
Since 13.0 it can be comma separated list of styles to apply the media for all of them.
Media are not applied recursively, it is not possible one media to change grid style and other media to test style and change something else.
new 13.0 <M> string[]

GanttStyle

The <M> rule will be applied only if the grid has given Gantt style. The Style is <Cfg GanttStyle> as style prefix like "GW" or "GS".
It can be comma separated list of styles to apply the media for all of them.
Media are not applied recursively, it is not possible one media to change grid style and other media to test style and change something else.
new 13.0 <M> string[]

Size

new 12.1 <Cfg> int

MediaChange

[1]

new 13.0 API event void

OnMediaInit

(TGrid grid, object Media)
Called before default media is created from loaded values. The default media is used to restore original values after media change.
