I've done a lot of searching and have not found exactly my issue. Most of the "multiple rows" involve putting multiple rows in a single column. I need entire second rows.
At a high level this is my dilemma. I get a row of data back. Sometimes this row has warnings associated with it. The business wants those warnings to be displayed in a full row below the row of data. It has to be always visible. In addition we currently use the expander to show additional details about the row.
I've had a few thoughts.on how to do this. The first is to use the OnPreRender method that we are using to add a second header row . I think this might work but I can see it getting pretty ugly since I'll be dealing with the grid as a whole rather than one row at a time. The second idea is to use two DetailTables, one for the warnings and one for the additional detail. The problem with this is that I don't think there would be a way to open one detail table, close the other but have the expander say "closed" so it behaves "normally". My third idea is to somehow leverage a NestedViewTemplate to finagle this. I think this would suffer the same fate as my second idea.
Has anyone done this before? Any advice or help in how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated!
