Have to click twice on ExpandCollapse button

[Dan]

This is odd. I just upgraded my web project from the old RadControls for ASP.NET to the latest ASP.NET AJAX controls.  I have several hierarchy grids that use the HideExpandColumnRecursive method.  These worked fine under the old controls.

With the new controls, the ExpandCollapse button hides as it should when there are no child records in the 2nd level.

But, if there are child records, then the ExpandCollapse button is visible.  When I click on it,
The column containing the buttons narrows, the button icon narrows, but nothing else happens.
On a second click the child grid opens as expented, and the button column remains narrowed.
On subsequent button clicks, the child grid opens and closes ok.

If I refresh the page, then once again two clicks are needed to expand the row.

Has anyone else run into this?  Thanks.

Bug or not?  Here's what I found out about this problem.

The double click problem I described above happens when I define the ExpandCollapseColumnType in the code-behind, thus:

<

 

telerik:RadGrid ID="rgData" Skin="Simple" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"

 

 

AllowPaging="True" GridLines="None" Width="99%" Font-Size="Medium" AllowExpandCollapse="true">

 

 

<MasterTableView HierarchyDefaultExpanded="false" HierarchyLoadMode="ServerBind">

 

protected

 

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

 

rgData.MasterTableView.ExpandCollapseColumn.ButtonType =

GridExpandColumnType.PushButton;

Whereas, this code works with no problem:

 

<

 

telerik:RadGrid ID="rgData" Skin="Simple" runat="server" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"

 

 

 

AllowPaging="True" GridLines="None" Width="99%" Font-Size="Medium" AllowExpandCollapse="true">

 

 

 

<MasterTableView HierarchyDefaultExpanded="false" HierarchyLoadMode="ServerBind" ExpandCollapseColumn-ButtonType="PushButton">

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{
rgData.MasterTableView.ExpandCollapseColumn.ButtonType = GridExpandColumnType.PushButton;

Looks like a bug to me.

Hello Dan,

I followed your steps and I was able to replicate the issue. In order to set the ExpandCollapseColumn.ButtonType, I suggest that you handle the RadGrid_PreRender event where the columns is already created as below instead of setting it on Page_Load:

Copy Code

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExpandCollapseColumn.ButtonType = GridExpandColumnType.PushButton;
}

Check it out and let me know if it works for you.

Additionally, to avoid duplicate post, please post your answer or questions in the other thread you have open with the same subject.

Yes, setting it in the grid prerender also works, although the effect where the ExpandCollapse column and icons being narrow persists when using this method.

Thanks,
