Determine Current Row When Row Details Is Selected

[Carlos]

Hi,

It seems that the GridView doesn't update the SelectedItem if for example, say you only expand the row, and then put focus on a control within the row details template, then the GridView doesn't change the SelectedItem property to the row whose row details has focus.

You first have to click the row, then expand the row to see the row details, and then put focus on a control within the row details template. Then the SelectedItem property of the GridView is in synch...

Am I missing something or is this how the GridView is supposed to behave?

Thanks,

Carlos

My understanding is that it's a rather significant limitation of the Telerik grid.

At least, I've experienced the same thing regarding clicking on a button that I've placed in a row.  This code in the button's click handler gets the row selected.  You could maybe use something similar when your control gets focus.  I'm not using the row details functionality, so it might not work the same for you.

GridViewRow row = (sender as UIElement).ParentOfType<GridViewRow>();
MyGrid.SelectedItem = row.Item;

Hi Carlos,

You could easily force the selection of the parent row when row details are expanded by using our RowDetailsVisibilityChange event:

// subscribe for RowDetailsVisibilityChanged event
private void gridView_RowDetailsVisibilityChanged(object sender, GridViewRowDetailsEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Visibility == Visibility.Visible)
    {
        e.Row.IsSelected = true;
    }
}
