custom layout and rowdetailstemplate

[Jennifer]

I was wondering if it was possible to use rowdetailstemplate with a custom layout in radgridview for silverlight. I had a project where the rowdetailstemplate worked fine without the custom template on the main grid. I have tried adding a radgridtogglebutton to the custom layout, as well as changing rowdetailsvisibility to Visible. I am using row details template because I make a separate call to a web service for each level of the hierarchy, and I am trying to do as much in possible in code to keep the silverlight control as general a possible.
The user control is below:.

 

 

 

 

 

<UserControl   x:Class="listo.SLGrid.GridControl"
            xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:sdk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/sdk"
              xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input"
              xmlns:dataInput="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data.Input"
              xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
              xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"

            xmlns:local="clr-namespace:listo.SLGrid"

            Loaded="UserControl_Loaded">
    <Canvas x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="LightCoral" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
        <StackPanel x:Name="gridStack" >
            <telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="crmDataGrid"   IsFilteringAllowed="False"   ShowInsertRow="True"
                    AddingNewDataItem="crmDataGrid_AddingNewDataItem"  BeginningEdit="crmDataGrid_BeginningEdit"
                                 RowEditEnded="crmDataGrid_RowEditEnded"
                             ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
                               RowDetailsVisibilityMode="Visible"
                                     LoadingRowDetails="crmDataGrid_RowDetailsVisibilityChanged" ActionOnLostFocus="None"
                                         >
            </telerikGridView:RadGridView>

        </StackPanel>
    </Canvas>
    <!--RowStyleSelector="{StaticResource styleSelector}"  RowDetailsVisibilityMode="Collapsed"-->
</UserControl>

The test template is simple, and works, except that my rowdetails are not accessible:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:telerikRow="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"  >
        <ControlTemplate  x:Key="new_questionid" TargetType="telerikRow:GridViewRow"  >
            <Grid>
                <Grid.RowDefinitions >
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                    <RowDefinition />
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions >
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Text="Name"  />
                <telerikRow:GridViewToggleButton Name="RowDetailsToggle"  Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="7" ></telerikRow:GridViewToggleButton>
            </Grid>
        </ControlTemplate>
        <Style x:Key="style_new_questionid" TargetType="telerikRow:GridViewRow">
            <Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource new_questionid}" />
        </Style>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

I set rowdetails in code, the template is passed in parameters, but I could include in my resource dictionary if that would work better:

_crmGrid.RowDetailsTemplate = CreateRowDetailsTemplate(HttpUtility.UrlDecode(this.parameters[srpCrmSLGridParameters.rowDetailsTemplate]));

I was hoping that you could point me to an example where a custom layout was used along with row details. Ideally I would like to set both in code. Second choice would be to read them from a resource dictionary. Is this possible?

Thank you,

Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,

It is possible to use both custom row and row details. In your custom row you will need to add a presenter for the details and the define the details template to show the data you wish. 

The default definition of the details presenter of the row is as follows:

<grid:DetailsPresenter x:Name="PART_DetailsPresenter" Grid.Column="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Visibility="Collapsed" DetailsProvider="{TemplateBinding DetailsProvider}" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="{StaticResource Theme}" />

Keep us posted on your progress. 

Best wishes,
