Collapse the expand hierarchy button

[Rotem]

Hi,

I want to collapse the hierarchy expand button (its border container to be accurate) so there will be no white space at the first column content when there is no hierarchy.

I saw that there is a property in the radTreeListView called HasHierarchy, but I cannot change its value (the set is not accessible).

I’ve managed to this in code:

            var gridHierarchyBorder = treeListView.FindChildByName("PART_HierarchyIndent") as Border;

            if (gridHierarchyBorder == null)

                return;

            gridHierarchyBorder.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

But I guess there is a more efficient and elegant way to achieve this. Is there?

Hello Rotem,

 
I would not encourage you to clear the indentation in a TreeListViewRow in such manner. RadTreeListView directly inherits RadGridView and it is designed to display data in a hierarchical manner. If you do not need this indentation why not use our RadGridView control instead?

Hi Vanya,

I’m familiar with the RadGridView control. I chose to use RadTreeListView because I need its functionality only sometimes.

So how should I implement this requirement?

Hello Rotem,

 

You may achieve the desired result on the UI level through predefinig the template of TreeListViewRow. Just remove the GridViewToggleButton and change the position of the DataCellsPresenter, which is responsible for displaying GridViewCells.



Please find attached an example which demonstrates how this can be achieved.

Thanks Vanya,
The solution you gave is not a complete solution, because the cells border is not aligned with the header border, but the solution is good enough for me. (I don't need the headers).

Again, thank you.
