Hide NestedViewTemplate and the caret symbol

[Deepa]

Based on a search condition I need to hide the nestedview template and not show the caret symbol to the left of each grid row.

I have tried the following code on prerender, itemcreated, item databound events of the grid.It does not show the nested view but still displays the caret symbol which I don't need.

Is there a way to hide the template including the caret symbol?

Prerender:

foreach (GridDataItem item in Grd.Items)

{

if (chk != "1")

{

GridNestedViewItem nesteditem = (GridNestedViewItem)Grd.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView)[0];

nesteditem.Visible = false;

nesteditem.Enabled = false;

nesteditem.Display = false;

}}

OnItemcreated

protected void OnGrd_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 {

if (e.Item is GridNestedViewItem)

{ 

GridNestedViewItem nestedItem = (GridNestedViewItem)e.Item; 

var chk = "1";
if (chk != "1")

{

nestedItem.Visible = false;

}}}

OnItemDataBound:

if ((e.Item is GridNestedViewItem))

 {var p= e.Item.FindControl("GrdNest") as RadGrid;

 {chk="1"; 

if (chk == "1")

{nestedItem.Visible = true;

 p.Visible = true;

 p.DataSource = results;

 p.DataBind();

}

else

{

nestedItem.Visible = false;

nestedItem.Display = false;

 p.Visible = false;

}}}

Is it possible to disable nested view for few rows in the grid but not all rows? In that case even the caret symbol becomes visible for those few rows and not for the rest which do not have the nested view enabled

Hello Deepa,

Try the code below:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HideExpandColumnRecursive(RadGrid1.MasterTableView);
}
public void HideExpandColumnRecursive(GridTableView tableView)
{
    GridItem[] nestedViewItems = tableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView);
    foreach (GridNestedViewItem nestedViewItem in nestedViewItems)
    {
      foreach (GridTableView nestedView in nestedViewItem.NestedTableViews)
      {
        if (nestedView.Items.Count == 0) //some condition
        {
          TableCell cell = nestedView.ParentItem["ExpandColumn"];
          cell.Controls[0].Visible = false;
          cell.Text = " ";
          nestedViewItem.Visible = false;
        }
       if (nestedView.HasDetailTables)
       {
        HideExpandColumnRecursive(nestedView);
        }
      }
   }
}
