Imagine a RadGrid with about 20 rows of data. Each will have a checkbox. When the user clicks the checkbox, I need to insert a companion row below it that is closely related to the original row.
I can imagine inserting such a new row into the middle of a DataTable and rebinding the RadGrid to the DataTable but to just do this instantly will be visually confusing to the user.
I'm thus wondering if there's a way to animate the insertion of the new row, where essentially the new row "slides" down from the row where the checkbox was clicked?
I hope I've explained my requirement sufficiently. Might anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Hi,
Marin

This animated insert feature by far exceeds the current capabilities of the RadGrid control. First of all the grid requires a postback in order to render the insert form as opposed to the "slide down" animation which suggests client-side implementation. The closest such feature that is currently available is the insert of the RadTreeList which renders the insert form right below the clicked row.

Okay, thank you, Marin. Thought I'd ask anyhow.
I've actually done a little experimenting and I do know ahead of time which rows could potentially need to be inserted below a visible one. So I'm going to try the approach of populating all the possible rows and then initially hiding the "extra" ones.
Not exactly the effect I was looking for but it'll have to suffice at this time.
