Expand group programatically

[Bob]

Hi Guys

Can anyone tell me how to expand a given group in a panelbar and call PerformClick on a given RadButtonElement?

Thanks in advance

Hello Bob ,

To expand a group programatically you can use the Expanded property of RadPanelBarGroupElement. For example:

 this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.Expanded = true;

If you need more information, please write us back.

Hi,

I build my panelbar programmatically and I want to expand the groupelement when displayed.

I tried this:

this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.Expanded = true;

but it did not work.

Any more ideas?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi,

Kindly disregard my previous post, I already got the solution.

grpElement.ShowChildren(true);
grpElement.Expanded = true;

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay

It seems to depend on the Groupstyle property. I resolved my problem by  setting

radGroupABC.Selected = true;

I did this after it had been added to the panel bar.

Hope that helps.

Hello Bob ,

RadPanelBarGroupElement Expanded property purpose is to expand or collapse the group where the Selected property selects or deselects the group. When the panel bar is in OutlookStyle, you should use the Selected property instead of the Expanded property if you want to make active a particular group element. In all other cases you should use the Expanded property. Another important thing is that you should use these properties when the RadPanelBarGroupElement is part of the elements tree i.e it should be added to the items collection of RadPanelBar.
