flat hierarchy style on childtable of a gridview

[Emanuel]

Hello out there

I'm just working on a report table, which should list my materials and all materials below one.
To display the data, I'm using the gridview with the childtemplate things.
This is working without problems but I want to use a flat hierarchy style instead of the default one.
So it should look like this

                  Cost       Type
Parent          x              x
Child            x              x
Child-child    x              x

I really don't know how to do this.
Hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Emanuel,

Maybe the best way will be to create a view-model with a collection representing both parent and child data at once and bind the grid to this collection.

Hey Vlad 
Thank you for the fast answer.
I was also thinking about this, but then I'll lose the possibility to expand/collapse the child elements.
Is your solution just the easiest one, or is there simply no other possibility to solve this?
Would be great to have such a feature. Maybe in the next release ;)
Anyway thanks again!
Regards,
Emanuel

Hi Emanuel,

You may predefine the template of GridViewRow and remove the default Padding of 6 pixels around PART_HierarchyChildPresenter. Through removing the rowindicators of the child grids you will have aligned grids in this scenario. Please check the attached project and let me know how this works for you!

Hi Vlad

This worked for me thanks.
But I found out, I could use TreeListView to display the data :)
So I will try also this one.
