Master detail grid where detail tables all expanded

[andieje]

Hello

How would i create a master details grid where all of the details table are expanded on page load.

The details tables remain expanded permanently so I would also like to remove the expand/collapse column

thanks

Hi,

I guess you are trying to Expand the entire master table rows and hence expose the Detail table. If so you can try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

{        //to expand the entire master table rows

foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Items)

{

item.Expanded = true;

}

// to hide theExpand/Collapse column

RadGrid2.MasterTableView.GetColumn("ExpandColumn").Display = false;

}

You can also set the HierarchyDefaultExpanded property of the Grid to true to expand  the entire master table rows.

Thanks

Hi

That sort of works for me. Setting the display to false hid the column but for some reason made it really wide. Lets say when the column was visible its width was 10px, when i hid it the empy space became more like 100px. So instead of hiding it programmatically i hid it throught style sheet by adding this to top of my page

 <style>
.RadGrid_SureTrack .rgCollapse
{
  visibility:hidden !important;
  width: 0px;
}
</style>
