Hierarchical sub grid sharing column headers with parent

[Stevo]

Hi,

we would like to have a simple hierarchical GridView with sub grid that is shown after expanding a row, as usual.
 
The catch is that we want the subgrid in row details to be sharing the same column headers (i.e. columns) with the original parent grid, since the data in the parent and child grids is of same structure. That way we save on introducing another header showing same column headers and the UI becomes cleaner and easier to understand.

Note that functionality like resizing columns should still be working, i.e. resizing both main and sub grids. We are not that concerned about grouping, but I suppose it would be nice for it to still work on the parent grid at least.

What is the best way of implementing this?

Thanks,
Stevo

Hi Stevo,

Have you checked our RadTreeListView component? You can check our WPF Demos on it and decide if it suits your scenario better.

Hi Didie,

Interesting, looks like it does what I was asking about out-of-the-box. However it looks like it's missing grouping, which apparently our users like after showing it to them.

Also, can you do inline editing? What about handling large number of records - paging etc... is it supported too?

Thanks,
Stevo

Hi Stevo,

Indeed, grouping is not supported.

You can do inline editing and you can also populate it with paged data.

Hello,

Just a quick follow up!
You can also use the approach from this post with RadGridView to simulate treelist like structure.
