Selecting an item in a collapsed group programmatically

[JDB]

Hi,

If I try to select an item programmatically, and that item is in a collapsed group, an IndexOutOfRange exception is thrown. Is there any other way of avoiding this besides expanding all groups?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks to the solution in this thread, I don't get the IndexOutOfRangeException anymore, but now there's an first chance ArgumentOutOfRangeException thrown,

Hello RVW,

Currently the best way to overcome this problem is to have expanded groups. We are already working on a solution and we will try to include a fix in next week's Latest Internal Build.

There is one workaround that you could try:

public void BrindIntoView(object dataItem)
{
    try
    {
        var group = this.FindGroup(dataItem);
        group.IsExpanded = true;
        this.RadGridView1.BringDataItemIntoView(dataItem);
    }
    catch
    {
        this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
            this.RadGridView1.BringDataItemIntoView(dataItem)), DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle, null);
    }
}

public GroupRecord FindGroup(object dataItem)
{
    var record = this.RadGridView1.FindRecord(dataItem);
    var grp = this.RadGridView1.Records.
        Cast<GroupRecord>().
        Where<GroupRecord>((group) => group.Records.Contains(record)).FirstOrDefault();

    return grp;
}

Instead of using RadGridView.BrindDataItemIntoView you could try using this new BringIntoView method.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Your Telerik points have been updated.

Hi Milan,

Thanks for your answer, I'll try the solution you proposed next thing monday morning!

Hi Milan,

On first sight the solution works, but only if there's only 1 group defined. When multiple are defined, you still get an exception and it doesn't work.

But I'll try to get that to work through recursion, if that won't slow things down too much.
