My compliments for such a concise demonstration of the problem. I easily reproduced the behavior, but I'm not sure that the configuration you're looking for is possible in Excel. here's what I did.. through excel, I typed a value into 2 cells and merged them. Then I clicked on the wrap button, and nothing happened! I took a closer look, and the merge function not only merges, but centers the text as well. I'm guessing this means that merging and wrapping inside of excel don't work together. The exporter is properly setting both conditions, as indicated by the properties of those cells inside of Excel.
If you know of a way to get these two conditions working inside of Excel, we can certainly look at adding this as an enhancement to our exporting engine, but as it stands right now, I don't think this is possible.

Hi,
The save method of the workbook takes the location where the excel file is to be created.
oWorkbook.save("C:\Documents and settings\abc\desktop")
Instead of hardcoding the location I want the user to select the location of where the excel is to be created. I would appreciate if some replies to my post.
Thanks,

Junaid,
If you're working in an ASP.NET application, there's no way for you to dictate where the file will get saved on the client-machine, they will automatically be prompted with a save file dialog. Are you working in an ASP.NET app or a Windows Forms app?
Hi Tony,
1) I am working on a web application. When the excel is generated I am not prompted with an automatic save file dialog. I am providing the code below.

UltraWebGridExcelExporter1.ExportMode = Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.ExcelExport.ExportMode.Custom
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).PrintOptions.CenterHorizontally =
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).DefaultRowHeight = 0
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).Columns(0).Width = 4000
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).Rows(i).Cells(0).CellFormat.WrapText = ExcelDefaultableBoolean.True
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).Rows(i).Cells(0).CellFormat.Alignment = HorizontalCellAlignment.Center
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).Columns(1).Width = 1200
oWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(0).Rows(i).Cells(1).CellFormat.Alignment = HorizontalCellAlignment.Center
oWorkbook.Save(
End Sub
When the button is clicked the save dialog control does not come up automatically. Can you let me know what code I need to add.
2) And some of the controls like the ultrabutton, ultraprintdocument, ultraprintpreviewcontrol etc. are disabled. Can you let me know how to enable these controls.
Junaid.
