Child Rows for a GridViewGroupRowInfo

[Kevin Marsh]

Now that the rows collection includes only data rows, how do I get the child data rows for a GridViewGroupRowInfo?  I'm in the SelectedRow event after a group row was selected by the user.  I need to get information from the data rows that makes up the group.  The rows collection is always empty. This one is BIG.

Hello Kevin,

The Rows collection of the new edition of RadGridView is only content data rows ordered after the sorting and grouping operations. To access group representation of data, you must use the Root or RootGroups properties of the GridViewTemplate.

We introduce a new logical object for group management - DataGroup. You can access and enumerate rows using the GetRows() or GetRowsEnumerator() API, and also view and manipulate chid groups using Groups property.

In the final edition of RadGridView, you can search the DataGroup object using the GridViewRowInfo object.

I hope this was helpful. If you have additional questions please contact us.

All the best,

I'm still not seeing how I can get from the current/selected/clicked group row to the child rows of that group. 

In the CurrentRowChanged event I get a GridViewGroupRowInfo.  In the RootGroups I can see the new DataGroup(s).  Each DataGroup has a GetRows that gives me the child rows.  How can I get from the GridViewGroupRowInfo (clicked row) to the corresponding DataGroup so I can get the child rows?  

I think the issue described in another thread (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bcmcgk.aspx) is the same as the one I'm describing.  If the answer is Telerik did not provide any way to get from a Group Row to the group's child rows in the Beta version, we need to figure out how to get a drop that addresses this major oversight.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kevin,

For GridViewGroupRowInfo, we have added a public Group property, which gets the owner DataGroup object. When you get the first row or any child row from this DataGroup, you can get the index using the GridViewRowCollection.IndexOf method.

Also we have introduced a new FindDataGroup(GridViewRowInfo rowInfo) method for searching a DataGroup for a GridViewRowInfo object.

Please refer to your last support ticket.

Contact me again if you need any further assistance.
