Hiding the Expand in the grid

[John Giblin]

I have a hierarchical grid that I have been implementing security on.

What I have done is limit the user to see only data they are allowed to see. So in the databind I skip over it if the user does not have access to that level of detail.  I would also like to remove the expand if they dont have access to the detailed info. Anyway to do that?

Hello,

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.ExpandCollapseColumn.Display = false;

//OR

  protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        HideExpandColumnRecursive(RadGrid1.MasterTableView);
    }


public static void HideExpandColumnRecursive(GridTableView tableView)
    {
        GridItem[] nestedViewItems = tableView.GetItems(GridItemType.NestedView);
        foreach (GridNestedViewItem nestedViewItem in nestedViewItems)
        {
            foreach (GridTableView nestedView in nestedViewItem.NestedTableViews)
            {

                System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell cell = nestedView.ParentItem["ExpandColumn"];

                if (cell.Controls.Count == 0)
                {
                }
                else
                {
                    cell.Controls[0].Visible = false;
                }
                nestedViewItem.Visible = false;

                if (nestedView.HasDetailTables)
                {
                    HideExpandColumnRecursive(nestedView);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Thanks,
