Get values of selected row in child grid

[Peter Meinl]

How can I get the values of the row selected in the child grid of a hierachical grid.

My hierarchical GridView is bound to the results of an OData service:
ApprovalRequests
..Approvals

In a button click event I want to access the selected values.

Hi,

 Why not use MVVM instead? The approach demonstrated in this blog will work no matter if the grid is parent or child.

Thanks for your fast answer.

Using MVVM looked like too much code to me for simply getting the selected child row.
I replaced the hierarchical RadGridView with two synchronized standard DataGrids instead.

Is there another way to solve this issue with out using MVVM or going with two standard datagrids?
Thank you,
Happy

Hi Anand,

There are several ways to get the selected items depending on your particular scenario. Are you using a button to retrieve the child selected items? When is the button placed - is it on the parent rows?

Thank you for your response.

Well I have Parent Grid which shows the list of Requests (Request Object --> which has a collection of Sample Objects); the child grid has the Sample Object. (I used the demo example and it works like a charm)

When I double click on the Parent grid I am supposed to pass the Request Object (row) to a Request screen and it handles updates etc (this is working), similarly on double click of the Child grid I would like to pass the Sample Object to a Sample screen and it handles updates etc; this is not happening - instead it gives the Request object (row) all the time. (btw I am using MouseDoubleClick Event).

Regards,
Anand

Hello Anand,

If you are using HierarchyChildTemplate or a RowDetailsTemplate you can easily subscribe to the RowActivated event of the child grid and retrieve the activated row. For example:

<telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="0"
                     Name="clubsGrid"
                     ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs}"
                     Margin="5">
    <telerik:RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadGridView Name="playersGrid"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Players}"
                                 RowActivated="playersGrid_RowActivated_1"/>

        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate>

</telerik:RadGridView>

private void playersGrid_RowActivated_1(object sender, RowEventArgs e)
{
    var clickedDataItem = e.Row.DataContext;

    // process item
}

Hope this works.
