How to walk down Groups to change item-property (like TreeView with Checkboxes)

[Steffen]

Hi,
I have bound the GridView to an collection of business-objects that have a IsSelected-Property(bool) and an according CheckBox-Column.
To be able to change this property for all objects in a group I came up with this:
 

<Style x:Key="CustomRowStyle"  TargetType="telerik:GridViewGroupRow">
    <EventSetter Event="Loaded" Handler="GridViewGroupRow_Loaded" />
</Style>

        private void GridViewGroupRow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args)
        {
            GridViewGroupRow groupRow = (GridViewGroupRow)args.OriginalSource;

            CheckBox cb = new CheckBox() { Content = groupRow.Group.Key };

            cb.Tag = groupRow;

            cb.Checked += new RoutedEventHandler(groupRow_CheckChanged);
            cb.Unchecked += new RoutedEventHandler(groupRow_CheckChanged);

            groupRow.Header = cb;
        }



        void groupRow_CheckChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewGroupRow groupRow = (sender as CheckBox).Tag as GridViewGroupRow;

            recursiveGroupSelection(groupRow.Group, (sender as CheckBox).IsChecked ?? false);
        }

        private void recursiveGroupSelection(IGroup g, bool check)
        {
            foreach (var item in g.Items)//select items in this group
            {
                if (item is BusinessObject)
                {
                    (item as BusinessObject).IsSelected = check;
                }
            }

            //the same for all subgroups
            foreach (Group sub in g.Subgroups)
            {
                recursiveGroupStationSelection(sub, check);
            }
        }

1. This checks and unchecks all items in the group and subgroups but I do not know how to get to the GridViewGroupRow of the subgroups and also (un)check their CheckBoxes. I can get the Group from GridViewGroupRow but when walking down the subgroups I do not know how to get their GridViewGroupRows.
2. I also wasn't able to get the PropertyName from the Group - the Group's Key-Property is the actual property's value. How to get the property's name to know what property is grouped by this Group?
3. And it would be very nice if (un)checking items would be reflected in the parent-group-checkbox(es).

Any suggestion is welcome.

Hi Steffen,

Please excuse me for the delayed answer . I am preparing a working sample  for you right now  and will send it as soon as it is functional.

Meanwhile please specify which version of RadGridView are you using , so I can test the sample with the right dlls.

Best wishes,

Thank you for the support!

I'm currently building with 2009.3.916.35.

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for your patience!  Please find the sample attached. I have tried to resemble your scenario as close as possible . Let me know if any questions appear.  It is kind of raw code but still it demonstrates a way to traverse up and down the groupings tree and set the "IsChecked" state.

Kind regards,

Hi Pavel,

thank you!
Thats seems to be exactly what I was trying to do. There are still some little issues where groups are skipped but I'm going to try it first thing tomorrow.

Best Regards

Hi,
here is the modified sample. Looks like everything works now (regrouping, reordering, no group skipping).
The thing is that it works with 2009.3.916.35 and for some reason not with the dll's in your solution.
With your dll's the custom group-headers are not showing up. Maybe you could check that out so I know that my solution
will work with the upcoming releases.

Best Regards
