Hierarchy grid - hide cells when expanded

[Kamen]

Is there a way to define a hierarchy grid, but when I expand a particular row (too see its nested item) to hide all the cells in that row?

Something like here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/hierarchy/declarativerelations/defaultcs.aspx
But when the first row is expanded and I see the inner grid, I want to have the cells that contain: "ALFKI", "Maria Anders" and "Alfreds Futterkiste" hidden. And when I collapse the first row to have that cells displayed.

If there is no way to do that feel free to offer another solution.

Thanks,
Kamen

Hello Kamen,

Attach ItemCommand event to your RadGrid and then set the visibility of parent table in PreRender event by checking the global variables. Here is the sample code that I tried. Hope this helps you.

C#:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page

{

    int index = 0,flag=0;//global variables

protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e)

 {

     if (e.CommandName == RadGrid.ExpandCollapseCommandName)//checking for CommandName

        {

          if (!e.Item.Expanded)

            {

                index = e.Item.ItemIndex;

                flag = 1;

            }

            else

            {

                flag=0;

                index=e.Item.ItemIndex;

            }

   }

 }

protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {

      if ((index >= 0) && (flag == 1))

        {

    GridDataItem item=(GridDataItem)RadGrid2.Items[index];

     TableCell cell = item["ContactName"];

     cell.Visible = false;//hidind parentItem

 }

        else

        {

            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)RadGrid2.Items[index];

            TableCell cell = item["ContactName"];

            cell.Visible = true;

        }

 }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
