Edit and Expand hierarchical grid row

[Marc-Andre]

Hi,

I wasted an enormous amount of time trying to figure this one out. My conclusion is that it is not currently supported (ASP.NET Q2.2008) by the grid.

I am simply trying to automatically expand a row when the user edit it (.Edit = true) or conversely, edit the master row when the detail is expanded (and still show the detail).

Hooking the ItemCommand event does not work : it seems like the Expanded property on the item is simply ignored.

Also, to complicate matters, I want to achieve this without calling Rebind() on the grid.

Hello  Marc-Andre,

Try the following code snippet in the PreRender event  to expand a Grid row on clicking the edit button.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            if (item.Edit == true)
                item.Expanded = true;

        }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Thanks Shinu,

The code works great to support the Edit->Expand scenario. I can live without the Expand->Edit (Edit on Expand) feature.
