[Solved] RadGridView programmatically expand master-details

[Par Developer]

Hello, I have a page with RadGridView. Each row has master-details that expand when user clicks on a [+] on a row. When I add a new record, I need the grid to:

1) scroll down to that new record so it is visible on the screen;
2) open that new record's master-details so the user can start entering data. The master-details of the new row must be visible on the screen also.

To scroll to the new row, I use:

grid.ScrollIntoView(grid.SelectedItem);

and it works. But how can I programmatically open the master-details for that row?

Thanks,
Serge.

Hi Serge,

Please see this forum thread for a sample project.

Thanks, that helped to open the row details, BUT: the details are not on the screen. The user still has to scroll down to see the details. What happens is: the new row is added and the grid scrolls down to make it visible, so the new row is exactly at the bottom of the screen. Then the grid opens the details, which go right below the screen, so is not visible. How can I make the details also visible programmatically? The idea is that the user clicks on the "Add" button, and is immediately able to enter data in the row detail without the need to scroll down.

Thanks,
Serge.

Hello Serge,

The best you can do in this case is wait for our official Q3 2010 release scheduled for the end of the next week. This functionality will be available there out of the box.

All the best,
