Grid hiding detail when detail edited

[Nicholas]

I am using a set of nested grids, using the detail system, and using one object. 

Object example:

{

Property 1

Property 2

Children{

     object{

          property 1

 

     }

      }

}

I am using a set of nested grids, using the detail system, and using one object. 
Object example:
{
Property 1
Property 2
Children{
            object{

            property 1

            property 2

            }
      }
}

This works well to display, with the inner grid displaying the children, and the outer grid showing a list of the top level objects.

The issue is that when I edit a row in the nested grid, on the child element, it minimizes the grid, probably something to do with rebinding the data source, since it is using the same data item. Is there any way to prevent this automatic closing of the detail?

Sorry about the double post, I attempted to use tab to add indentation, and it skipped to post this reply, and space triggered it.

Hello Nicholas,

In order to persist the expanded items in the Grid after refreshing the widget I would suggest using the approach described in the how-to article below:

I ended up setting the grid to inline editing, and disabling/enabling the nested elements based on the row being edited. This fixed the minimizing issues, and made it very simple to do detailed editing.
