Expand / Collapse SelfReference Hierarchy

[Arun Kumar]

Hi All,

I want to expand / collapse all rows on button click event. I tried the dgv.MasterTemplate.ExpandAll() 
and dgv.MasterTemplate.CollapseAll() functions but none of them work. 

I have around 8000 rows and 6 levels. How do I do that?

Also I noticed, I expanded one group that has more than 2000 rows will take some seconds to expand and then I expand another one which has only 2 rows that also take same time of previous group. If I collapse previous group and then expand the second one it expanded quickly.  Is this normal behavior?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

To expand and collapse all rows, you can use the following code:

Expand

radGridView1.GridElement.BeginUpdate();
foreach (GridViewDataRowInfo row in radGridView1.Rows)
{
    row.IsExpanded = true;
}
radGridView1.GridElement.EndUpdate();

Collapse

radGridView1.GridElement.BeginUpdate();
foreach (GridViewDataRowInfo row in radGridView1.Rows)
{
    row.IsExpanded = false;
}
radGridView1.GridElement.EndUpdate();

With regard to the performance issue that you've mentioned, there is a current known issue in this area. For more information on this, please take a look at this forum thread

Hope that helps
Richard
