ExpandCollapseAll expands but does not collapse in 2013Q3

[Paul]

I've used this code to toggle a grid's expand-collapse state, but since installing the recent 2013 Q3 update the grid expands ok but then remains expanded when the expand/collapse command is triggered again. How do I collapse an expanded grid now?

if (e.CommandName == "ExpandCollapseAll")
{
    grid.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded = !grid.MasterTableView.HierarchyDefaultExpanded;
    grid.Rebind();
}

Hi Paul,

The requested functionality of Expand/CollapseAll is in-built from the 2013 Q2 release version of RadControls. Set the EnableHierarchyExpandAll="true" property for the Radgrid. Please check this demo on Grid - Expand All for Hierarchy.

Thanks,
Princy

Thank you. I added e.Cancel = true to my code now that you explained the Telerik code now processes that command automatically. I did not see that listed under breaking changes in the 2013 Q3 release notes, which would have been helpful.

I kept my own code because I include both an expand/collapse icon and a text link in the grid's command item. I don't think the icon alone would be clear to all of my users. Is there a way to include both the icon and either text or at least a tooltip to make the meaning clear to users if I use the new automatic capability?

Hello Paul,

You could add a text and tooltip by using the following approach.

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
    {
        GridHeaderItem header = e.Item as GridHeaderItem;
        Label label = new Label();
        label.Text = "Expand all items";
        header["ExpandColumn"].Controls.Add(label);
        Button button = header["ExpandColumn"].Controls[0] as Button;
        button.ToolTip = "Expand all items";
    }
}
