I have a GridView with a second-level hierarchy. I apply a filter to the BindingSource based on the node selected on a TreeView, for example: GridViewBindingSource.Filter = "Department = '" & e.Node.Text & "'". However, if any row is expanded (i.e. showing the second-level hierarchy information) it closes when the BindingSource is filtered. I would like to have any row that is open to remain open. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Eddie,

Thank you for writing.

It is necessary to store the expanded state of the row before applying the filter and after the filter operation is finished, then restore the rows expanded state. Here is a sample code snippet:
Private Sub RadButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
    Dim expandedRows As New List(Of String)
    'store expanded rows
    For Each r As GridViewRowInfo In Me.RadGridView1.ChildRows
        If r.IsExpanded Then
            expandedRows.Add(r.Cells("ProductID").Value)
        End If
    Next
    'filter the BindingSource
    Me.ProductsBindingSource.Filter = "ProductName LIKE '%w%'"
    Me.RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Refresh()
    'restore the expanded rows
    For Each r As GridViewRowInfo In Me.RadGridView1.ChildRows
        If expandedRows.Contains(r.Cells("ProductID").Value) Then
            r.IsExpanded = True
        End If
    Next
End Sub

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
