Expand Grid Row Details On Edit?

[Peter]

How do I expand the current Row's detail table when I edit the row?

I've followed the code here and used the EditCommand event, but it doesn't work. Should I use the client-side object model instead?

I've tried using client-side... but this doesn't work either...

<telerik:RadScriptBlock runat="server" ID="rsbScripts">
    </telerik:RadScriptBlock>

protected void rgUnits_EditCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
       {
           e.Item.Expanded = true;

           LiteralControl lc = (LiteralControl)rsbScripts.Controls[0];
           lc.Text = string.Format(JSExpandRow, rgUnits.ClientID, e.Item.ItemIndex);

private const string JSExpandRow = "<script type=\"text/javascript\"> " +
                                            "var grid = $find(\"{0}\"); " +
                                            "master = grid.get_masterTableView(); " +
                                            "master.expandItem({1}); " +
                                        "</script>";

Hi,

Try the following code to achieve your scenario.
C#:

protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "DetailTable1")
 {
    GridTableView childtable = (GridTableView)e.Item.OwnerTableView;
    foreach (GridDataItem childItem in childtable.Items)
    {
      childItem.Expanded = true;
    }
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks - but unfortunately this didn't work... it seems when the Edit User Control loads, it un-expands (or never expands).

<EditFormSettings UserControlName="~/Controls/UnitItemReplace.ascx" EditFormType="WebUserControl">

A similar thing happens with the client-side - it expands, but once the UserControl loads, it unexpands.

<ClientSettings>
                        <ClientEvents OnCommand="ExpandRow" />
                    </ClientSettings>

function ExpandRow(sender, eventArgs) {
                var grid = sender;
                var master = grid.get_masterTableView();
                master.expandItem(eventArgs.get_commandArgument());
                return true;
            }

Hello Peter,

Please try the following approach:

int itemIndex = -1;
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.EditCommandName)
    {
        itemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;
    }
}
protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (itemIndex >= 0)
    {
        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[itemIndex].FireCommandEvent("ExpandCollapse", String.Empty);
    }
}

I hope this will prove helpful. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.

All the best,
Eyup

That works thanks!
