How to text instead of images for the expand and collapse image icons in hierarchial grid?

[Ritika Gupta]

Hi,

I would like to use text ( eg. show or hide) instead of the arrow for the expand and collapse column. How can I do that?

Request you to share any code/ documentation for this.

Many Thanks,
Ritika

Hello Ritika,

One suggestion would be using GridTemplatecolumn with Label control and in the onclick event, check for whether the item is expanded or not. If the item is collapsed, then expand the item and change the Label text to "Hide" and vice versa. Hide the ExpandCollapse column as well.

Access the corresponding item and use the set_expanded() property to expand/collapse from client side.
