[Solved] Hierarchical grid

[Simon]

Hi,

I am making use of the Telerik MVC grid to display hierarchical data. I have implemented something similar to the demo shown here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/hierarchyajax.

In the event that the child grid has no data, I would like to hide the expand option. i.e. I would like to remove the link denoted by the following html.

<a class="t-icon t-minus" href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/hierarchyajax#"/>

Can this be achieved and if so how?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

The easiest way to achieve the desired functionality is to add a property to the model which signify if the item has details. Then by using the rowDataBound event you should hide the expand button. 
The additional property is required as the inner grid are populated on demand (when master item is expanded), thus the information if the grid contains records is not available initially.

I have attached a small sample which demonstrates the suggested approach.

Best wishes,
