React DataGrid - toolbar

Configures the toolbar.

Selector: Toolbar
Default Value: undefined

disabled

Specifies whether the toolbar responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

items[]

Configures toolbar items.

The toolbar can contain the following elements as items:

  • Predefined controls
    Predefined controls appear on the toolbar depending on whether a specific DataGrid feature is enabled. The following table illustrates the dependency:

    Control Name Image Prerequisites
    addRowButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar AddButton editing.allowAdding is true
    applyFilterButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar ApplyFilterButton filterRow.visible is true and filterRow.applyFilter is set to "onClick"
    columnChooserButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar ColumnChooserButton columnChooser.enabled is true
    revertButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar RevertButton editing.mode is set to "batch"
    saveButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar SaveButton editing.mode is set to "batch" and editing.allowUpdating is true
    searchPanel DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar searchPanel searchPanel.visible is true
    exportButton DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar ExportButton The export feature is configured.
    groupPanel DevExtreme JavaScript jQuery Angular UI component DataGrid Toolbar GroupPanel groupPanel.visible is set to true or "auto"

    If you need to customize a predefined control, add an object to the items[] array. This object must contain the control's name and properties that you want to customize. If a control does not need customization, simply include its name in the toolbar.items[] array.

    The example below customizes the Column Chooser button, adds an Add Row button, and enables the corresponding DataGrid features:

    jQuery
    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid({
            // ...
            editing: {
                allowAdding: true
            },
            columnChooser: {
                enabled: true
            },
            toolbar: {
                items: [ "addRowButton", {
                    name: "columnChooserButton",      
                    locateInMenu: "auto",
                }]  
            }
        });
    });

    IMPORTANT
    The DataGrid does not display controls missing from the items[] array. Ensure that this array includes controls for all enabled features.
  • DevExtreme components

    jQuery

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Set the widget property to specify the component that you want to use and configure the component's options:

    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid({
            // ...
            toolbar: {
                items: [{
                    widget: "dxSelectBox",
                    options: {
                        // SelectBox properties are specified here
                    }
                }]  
            }
        });
    });
    Angular

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a dxi-item element to add a supported component:

    app.component.html
    app.module.ts
    <dx-data-grid ... >
        <dxo-toolbar>
            <dxi-item>
                <dx-select-box>
                    <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                </dx-select-box>
            </dxi-item>
        </dxo-toolbar>
    </dx-data-grid>
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    
    import { DxDataGridModule, DxSelectBoxModule } from 'devextreme-angular';

            DxDataGridModule,
            DxSelectBoxModule,
        ],
        providers: [ ],
        bootstrap: [AppComponent]
    })
    export class AppModule { }
    Vue

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a DxItem element to add a supported component:

    App.vue
    <template>
        <DxDataGrid ... >
            <DxToolbar>
                <DxItem>
                    <DxSelectBox>
                        <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                    </DxSelectBox>
                </DxItem>
            </DxToolbar>
        </DxDataGrid>
    </template>
    <script>
    import { DxDataGrid, DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/data-grid';
    import { DxSelectBox } from 'devextreme-vue/select-box';
    
    export default {
        components: {

            DxSelectBox
        }
    };
    </script>
    React

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare an Item element to add a supported component:

    App.js
    import { SelectBox } from 'devextreme-react/select-box';
    import DataGrid, { Toolbar, Item } from 'devextreme-react/data-grid';
    // ...
    function App() {
        return (
            <DataGrid ... >
                <Toolbar>
                    <Item>
                        <SelectBox>
                            {/* SelectBox properties are specified here */}
                        </SelectBox>
                    </Item>
                </Toolbar>
