I need to display grid with pending changes to a set of records. The way I envisioned it, each master row would be a record itself. When you expand the row, the pending changes would be presented in a detail row. However, since each row will have different pending changes, the layout of this detail row would be different. I wanted to hide/display columns of each individual detail grid depending on pending changes to their master row record. So, if there's no pending change to a property, the corresponding column on this row will be hidden. I've attached the picture illustrating my attempt.
I can't find a way to hide columns of the detail view for an individual row and I don't know if it's even possible. Does layout for each detail view have to be the same? Is detail view even a right way to accomplish this? Should I use nested view instead?
I'd appreciate help pointing me to the right approach with some tips on what event handlers I should use to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Alex

Hello Alex,
The regular hierarchy would not be suitable for such a custom scenario. You might use NestedViewTemplate or the newly introduced DetailItemTemplate.
For your convenience I created a very simple demo using the NestedViewTemplate and random values for testing purposes.

Thanks!
I actually changed design a bit since I figured if I swap columns with rows, then the layout will stay the same for all nested view rows and just the number of rows in the template will change. For example, first column would be "Old value", second column would be "New Value". In contrast, before I wanted to have "Old Value" row and "New Value" row and columns/loyout would be different from one detail row to another detail row.
Just a hypothetical question though... Is it possible to have different lyouts from one nested view/detail row to another in the same grid?

Hello Alex,
You could change the contents of the nested view item dynamically. Depending on the functionality you'd like to implement, you can take a different route. If you have let's say two different (simple) layouts you can put them both in the template and then switch their visibility programmatically. Other than this you could also use a fully programmatic approach.
