Indication of child row presence

[Jeppe]

Hi.

I use hierarchies a lot. Is there an easy way to indicate that a row actually has any child rows - e.g.  "expander"-icon bolded or something like that. I'm aware that I can access ChildRows-property at GridViewInfo-level, but I'd rather keep it "inside" the gridview - perhaps using the expression builder.

Best regards,

Hello Jeppe,

You can change the image of the expander or other expander properties using the ViewCellFormatting event:

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(10, 10);
void radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement is GridGroupExpanderCellElement && e.Row.ChildRows.Count > 0)
    {
        ((GridGroupExpanderCellElement)e.CellElement).Expander.SignImage = bitmap;
    }
}

I hope you find this useful. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.

Thanks. That helped me I am, however, modifying expander opacity according to subrow presence. Quite ok...
