While trying to navigate the record collection programmatically, I found this thread: Record Navigation. This works well for me, unless when the data is grouped. This happens because the internal (hierarchical) structure of the Record collection changes. Is there some way to get an IndexOf when that happens, or am I better off trying to find it myself using recursion?

Thanks in advance

Hi RVW,

Currently you would be better of using recursion when working with groups.

Hi Milan,

Thanks for your reply. I got a recursive implementation working like I need.

Will there be support for this in a future release?

Thanks in advance

Hello RVW,

What kind of methods/properties, in your opinion,  would make your life easier when navigating through the collection of records?

All the best,

Hi Milan,

For me, it would make it a lot easier if I can get all the (filtered) records regardless of any grouping. To do that now, I have to recursively traverse the Record Collection.

Navigation is probably the same. Either offer a MoveNext/Previous/First/Last method, or let the IndexOf ignore grouping.

The reason I chose for the telerik DataGrid is because of the performance with large datasets and grouping, but while trying to integrate it in our application and replacing the WPFDataGrid, suddenly easy task became a lot more complicated.

Nonetheless, we're still going to buy the WPF RadControls as soon as we're going to release the software, thanks for the great components :)
