Opening a Details template using a button

[VasVas]

Dear Sir,

I have an application that I am modenizing .
In the original web app clicking a button at the end of the row would taggle the details of the row.

Using the samples I Used the .ClientDetailTemplateId and I can show the details fine, this is done by clicking the arrows at the side of the grid.
Is there a way to add a custom command button to open the details and could the colum holding the arrows be hidden from sight?

Yours,

Ariel

Hello Ariel,

You could collapse/expand the details through the Grid API methods - expandRow/collapseRow by invoking them in the custom command click handler.

The second requirement - hiding the arrows column is not supported.

Let me know if this information helps or I could provide further assistance.

Hi,

 For the second requirement you could try applying the below style.

 .k-hierarchy-cell  .k-icon{

     display:none; 

}

Hello Sarvesh,

Indeed this approach is viable if only the icons should be hidden. What I meant in the previous answer was that hiding the whole column holding the expand/collapse icons is not supported.

I wish you a great day!
