Hide repeated row values

[Boardy]

Basically I have a parent-child situation I want to display in a flat grid. But for a series of consecutive rows with the same parent, I only want the first row to show the parent values.

It is basically the same as this question, but for WPF instead of WinForms.

How is it possible to achieve this?

Hello ,

Due to differences in the platforms, the approach shown for the WinForms RadGridView, will not work with RadGridView for WPF. Manipulating the visual data in the cells will result in obscure display data when scrolling due to the UI Virtualization mechanism of RadGridView. 

You can try manipulating the display value via binding converters, depending on the values shown in the Business objects.

Hope this helps.

The following seems to work:

<rv:RepeatedConverter x:Key="cnvRpt" />
<Style x:Key="stlRepeatedRow" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Value="true">
            <DataTrigger.Binding>
                <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource cnvRpt}">
                    <Binding />
                    <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}" />
                </MultiBinding>
            </DataTrigger.Binding>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=Background}" />
        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

And when setting this style to a column, the converter can get the predecessor via the window and compare it with the actual item. I don't really like the way the value is hidden (by applying the background brush to the foreground), but it works.

Thanks for your help.

Make new boolean property in your binding collection
bool: Visible{ge;set;}

Place in gridview and done.

​<telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors>
<data:CompositeFilterDescriptor LogicalOperator="Or">
<data:CompositeFilterDescriptor.FilterDescriptors>
<data:FilterDescriptor Member="Visible" Operator="IsEqualTo" Value="True" />
</data:CompositeFilterDescriptor.FilterDescriptors>
</data:CompositeFilterDescriptor>
</telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors>
