Hi, 

I'm working on collapse/expand functionality that can be applied to all of the grids across our application. I noticed a quirk of one 'expandRow' and 'collapseRow' functions offered with the Kendo grid. These functions can both expand and collapse groupings in the grid; however, the 'expandGroup' and 'collapseGroup' functions work only for groupings, but not for rows.

Do the functions that are group specific offer extra functionality over the row expand and collapse functions that makes the expand and collapse functionality different for groups in some cases? If so, what are these cases so I can know for the future?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

Hello, Kevin,

The expandRow and collapseRow methods are used to expand and collapse master rows in a hierarchical(detailed) Grids:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-expandRow

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-collapseRow

The expandGoup and the collapseGorup method are for expanding and collapsing groups in a grouped Grid:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-expandRow

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-collapseGroup

The respective method should be used only for the intended scenario.
