[Solved] ChildrenOfType<GridViewRow>

[Hazeest]

In Q3 2009 Release

IList<GridViewRow> rows = inventory_grid.ChildrenOfType<GridViewRow>();

rows.Cells contains only visible Cells. But in my grid I have an ID column which is set to Invisible. Is it a bug? How can I get all rows with all cells?

Thanks

Hi Hazeest,

When a column is marked is "IsVisible=false" its cells will not be created and they will not appear in the Cells collection. To workaround this you can just eliminate the "IsVisible=false" and set the Width and MaxWidth properties of that column to zero. That way the column will not be visible but its cells will be created.

In general we do not encourage the use of visual elements like GridViewRow. Is it possible to work with the data items instead? The problem with GridViewRow is that our grid uses virtualization and only a handful of rows are available at any time (just the visible ones). 

You could turn off the virtualization by setting the EnableRowVirtualization property to false which will cause all rows to be created but it will also have a negative impact on the performance. Could you please share more information about your scenario? We might be able to suggest an alternative solution which does not require you to work with all rows.

Sincerely yours,

Thank you.

Width=0 with MaxWidth=0 works just fine.
