HierachicalListView with expandable usercontrol rows

[Jorge Delgado-Lopez]

Hi,
I want to build a control which has the following capabilities.
1. ListView like columns, with image buttons (to expand)
2. A row will expand to show another control (details)
3. The ListView should be hierarchical
Sorry for my poor ASCII art, consider it a christmas laugh : )
> Col1        Col2          +
    > Col1    Col2          -
	___________________________________
	|Some user control with charts etc|
	|_________________________________|
> Col1        Col2          -
	___________________________________
	|Some user control with charts etc|
	|_________________________________|
> Col1        Col2          +
What would you recommend? I thought of using the Grid.
But, at least in Q2, I couldn't add my tailor made user 
controls as rows.

Thanks, happy christmas holidays!

Hello Jorge Delgado-Lopez,

Thank you for writing.

Your ASCII outline is quite illustrative. However, I am not completely sure if this is possible to be implemented using RadGridView. In the latest release, RadGridView is not capable to handle user controls in its rows. We will consider such functionality for the future versions. 

If you have any additional questions, please contact us.

Best wishes,

Hi!.. It has been a while since I asked this question, but would it be possible to do with the newer grid? that is to embed user controls as rows?

Hi Jorge Delgado-Lopez,

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately, we still do not support this feature and we do not have any immediate plans on adding it. If there is greater demand we will consider implementing it.  

There is no solution that we can offer you at the moment either. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nevermind, figured it out a hack with a dummy hierarchy (just to be able to expand) and changing row heights with childviewexpanded, viewcellexpanded and populating on cellformating with RadHostItem. 

Still have some issues though, redraws and such, but the main part is done.
