Hierarchy gridview parent or child?

[Jonathan Miller]

In a hierarchy gridview, is there a nested depth value, or a way to tell if the change is from a parent or child row?

void radGridView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e)

Thanks

Hi Jonathan Miller,

The SelectionChangeEventArgs caontains a property called DataControl. It returns the RadGridView control where the selection event happened.

Thank you for the reply. 

(Is a hierarchy)

Using DataControl, how can I determine if a parent or child row was clicked?

Hello Jonathan Miller,

Our SelectionChanged event is Routed Tunnel event. It is fired for the parent grid first and then for the child grid.
To determine if a parent or a child row is clicked you have to cast the DataControl property of the SelectionChangeEventArgs to GridViewDataControl. GridViewDataControl has a property called ParentRow. If this property is null, the top level parent grid was clicked and vice versa if the property is not null, the child grid is clicked.

GridViewDataControl dataControl = (GridViewDataControl) e.DataControl;
GridViewExpandableRow parentRow = (dataControl.ParentRow as GridViewExpandableRow);

I am attaching you an example demonstrating this scenario.

All the best,

works great, thanks!

As a side note, my code-behind still hows parentRow = null, but form some reason the code (if parentRow != null) works.  Oh well, It is working. Thanks again
