Grid Losing State

[Mike Patterson]

Hello,

I have a grid that has the GroupsDefaultExpanded property set to false.  When I expand a group and click the edit button for a record, all the groups collapse as if the page just loaded again keeping me from being able to edit any items.  Is there a way to prevent this?  It seems as if every postback none of the current states for the grid are kept.

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

Here is a code library submission which shows how to persist the expanded state of the Groups on rebind. Go through it and see if it helps.

Shinu,

Thanks for the reply.  Could you let me know if this would this also fix the following issue?  I am adding a user control to the group header in the ItemDataBound event.  When a postback occurs such as when I expand a detail table inside any of the groups, I lose the user control in the header and it defaults back to the text that would normally be there based on the GroupByExpressions.  I can attach some code and screen shots if this doesn't make any sense.  Again, thanks for the reply.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Try adding the UsreControl to the GridGroupHeaderItem in both the ItemCreated and ItemDataBound events and see whether it is working.
