External RowDetails

[steve]

Hello all.

I'm trying to display rowdetails in a nice tabcontrol.
I can display the rowdetails without any flaw using this method, but only if my grid is not wrapped in a tabcontrol:

XAML

<telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
                <DataTemplate x:Name="TrackGrid">
                      <telerik:RadGridView Name="innerGrid"></telerik:RadGridView>
                </DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

Code

Dim club As New .Album
club = TryCast(RadGridView1.SelectedItem, Album)

Dim innerDataGrid As RadGridView = TryCast(e.DetailsElement, RadGridView)
innerDataGrid.ItemsSource = Track.GetAll(club.AlbumID)

As i work in VB, and i'm just switching  to WPF, i can't seem to find some decent exaples how to do this action while using a tabcontrol in my rowdetails. So what i need is to wrap my grid in a radtabcontrol, and then get the same output, in a tab, like this

<telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
                <DataTemplate x:Name="TrackGrid">
                    <telerik:RadTabControl>
                        <telerik:RadTabItem>
                           <telerik:RadGridView Name="innerGrid"></telerik:RadGridView>
                        </telerik:RadTabItem>
                    </telerik:RadTabControl>
                </DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>

I'm looking towards your answer to this.

Hello Steve,

 The RowDetails are not displayed as you do not set the ItemsSource of the GridView. As I see from your code you cast the e.DetailsElement to a RadGridView. The result is null, as the e.DetailsElement is a TabControl, not a RadGridView.

In order to get the RadGridView, you could access it like so:

DirectCast(DirectCast(DirectCast(e.DetailsElement, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTabControl).Items(0), Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTabItem).Content, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadGridView).ItemsSource = Track.GetAll(club.AlbumID)


Could you please check this and share if it is what are you looking for?

All the best,
