Hi Dave,
Thank you for your feedback.
I tried your case and it seems working, I mean that if i start the export like you "DGVEExportingManager.Export(grid, DGVExpDesc, DGVExcelExp, False)" the progress bar is shown without poping up settings editor before this.
Try to explicitly enable the progress bar before starting the export like this:
DGVEExportingManager.ShowProgressForm = True
DGVEExportingManager.Export(grid, DGVExpDesc, DGVExcelExp, False)
Dave, try it and if it does not solve the problem, contact us.
Sincerely Yours
Support Team
