Grid - Detail view switch

[James]

Hi,

Can we implement such a window:

1. The window has menu and toolbar;
2. The client area of the window is a grid.
3. There is a 'toggle view' button in the toolbar, which toggles the grid view between Grid (List) view and Detail (single record) view. That is to say, users can select any row of the grid, and toggle to Detail (single record) view; and vice versa.

Any suggestions will be appreciated much!

Regards,
James

Hi James,

Yes, this is an easy task when using RadControls for WinForms. Please follow these steps:

1. Crate a new project and add a blank form.
2. Drop RadMenu and RadToolStrip on the form.
3. Drop RadPageView and add two pages.
4. Drop RadGridView in the first page and set its Dock property to Fill mode.
5. Drop the controls that will represent the details view in the second page.
6. Insert a button in RadToolStip and double click on it to create an event handler.
7. Insert the following code in the event handler:

if (radPageView1.SelectedPage == radPageViewPage1)
{
    radPageView1.SelectedPage = radPageViewPage2;
}
else
{
    radPageView1.SelectedPage = radPageViewPage1;
}

8. Select the RadPageView control and click on the smart tag in the right upper corner.
9. Choose the Edit UI Elements option.
10. Select the StripViewItemContainer element from Control element structure in the left pane.
11. Select the Visibility property from the right pane and set it to Collapsed.
12. Click the Close button and run the application.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please write back.
