Hi,

I am trying to auto expand all my grid rows as specified in the telerik demo using expand. So, far I have been unsuccessful after loading the grid and not see any of the row auto expand to the child rows.

In my cs file, I have the code in my .ascx.cs file

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                foidId = Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["FOIA_UID"]);

                if (rgdSubmitterMatrix.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 0)
                {

                    //get MasterTableView's second (index 1) nested view item
                    GridNestedViewItem firstLevelNestedViewItem = (GridNestedViewItem)rgdSubmitterMatrix.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView)[0];

                    if (firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews.Count() > 0 && firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView).Count() > 0)
                    {
                        //get second nested view item at level 2 of the hierarchy
                        GridNestedViewItem secondLevelNestedViewItem = (GridNestedViewItem)firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView)[0];

                        //get the first item to be expanded
                        GridItem itemToExpand = secondLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].GetItems(GridItemType.Item)[0];

                        itemToExpand.ExpandHierarchyToTop();
                    }
                    else if (firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews.Count() > 0 && firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].Items.Count > 0 && firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView).Count() == 0)
                    {
                        //get the first item to be expanded
                        GridItem itemToExpand = firstLevelNestedViewItem.NestedTableViews[0].Items[0];

                        itemToExpand.ExpandHierarchyToTop();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

In my .ascx file, I have the following telerik jscript and specified the following in the radgrid

ClientSettings-AllowExpandCollapse="true"

 <ClientSettings>
                        <ClientEvents OnHierarchyExpanding="HierarchyExpanding" OnHierarchyExpanded="HierarchyExpanded" OnHierarchyCollapsing="HierarchyCollapsing" OnHierarchyCollapsed="HierarchyCollapsed">

              args.set_cancel(true);
          }
      }

      function HierarchyExpanded(sender, args) {
          var firstClientDataKeyName = args.get_tableView().get_clientDataKeyNames()[0];
          alert("Item with " + firstClientDataKeyName + ":'" + args.getDataKeyValue(firstClientDataKeyName) + "' expanded.");
      }

      function HierarchyCollapsing(sender, args) {
          var firstClientDataKeyName = args.get_tableView().get_clientDataKeyNames()[0];
          if (!confirm("Should collapse item with " + firstClientDataKeyName + ":'" + args.getDataKeyValue(firstClientDataKeyName) + "'?")) {
              args.set_cancel(true);
          }
      }

      function HierarchyCollapsed(sender, args) {

      }

      function ExpandCollapseFirstMasterTableViewItem() {
          var firstMasterTableViewRow = $find("<%= rgdSubmitterMatrix.MasterTableView.ClientID %>").get_dataItems()[0];
          if (firstMasterTableViewRow.get_expanded()) {
              firstMasterTableViewRow.set_expanded(false);
          }
          else {
              firstMasterTableViewRow.set_expanded(true);
          }
      }

      function ExpandFirstMasterTableViewItem() {
          $find("<%= rgdSubmitterMatrix.MasterTableView.ClientID %>").expandItem(0);
            }

            function CollapseFirstMasterTableViewItem() {

If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Vertical, the nodes in the level are displayed in columns loaded from top to bottom, then left to right, until all nodes are rendered.

If this property is set to RepeatDirection.Horizontal, the nodes in the level are displayed in rows loaded from left to right, then top to bottom, until all nodes are rendered.

what actually i need is
columns loaded from top to bottom, then right to left, until all nodes are rendered
if that possible ?

Thanks
