Access Columns of child grid in a nested Hierarchy

[Rejish Rajan]

Hi,

I have RadGridView which is populated dynamically from an xml file.
I have added table definitions to the gridview through code behind  and when the grid is loaded it shows child grid to each row.
Now i want to modify the column header of the child gridview; how can i achieve this ?
I tried to get the child control (RadGridView) from IsExpandedchangeEvent of GridViewRow using ChildrenoFType<> method but it is not returning  anything.

It will be helpful if you provide me a sample project .

Thanks & Regards
Rejish.

Hello Rejish Rajan,

 When you use Child Table Hierarchy, the child grids are of type GridViewDataControl, not RadGridView.

Thank you for the reply.
I tried with GridViewDataControl also  in the ChildrenOfType<> method in the  IsExpandedchangeEvent , it didnt returned  the child grid control.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Rejish Rajan,

 The IsExpandedChanged event fires before the child grid is visible and so the ChildrenOfType<> method won't be able to find the child grid. If you wish to modify the child grid's appearance, I suggest you use the HierarchyChildTemplate property. Here's a demo that shows how this can be accomplished.

All the best,

Hi,

Is there any method so that we can retrieve the child grid other than using childhierarchytemplate ?
My scenario is , i am populating the grid with dynamic data using the Light Weight Data table method,the child grid nesting is also dynamic and I am populating the child grid also using Light Weight Data table method.

Is there a way to add child hierarchy dynamically in the above mentioned scenario  ?

Thanks & Regards
Rejish.

Hello Rejish Rajan,

 Try handling the DataLoading event of the parent grid. It is a routed event and so it will fire for all child grids as well. You can do something like this:

private void radGridView1_DataLoading(object sender, GridViewDataLoadingEventArgs e)
{
    var grid = sender as RadGridView;
    if (grid.ParentRow != null) // this means this is a child grid
    {
        // do stuff with child grid
    }
}
