Self-Referencing Hierarchy Parent Row Modifications

[digitall]

I have a self referencing hierarchy that currently goes three levels deep (could be more in the future though). Whenever a specific column ("override") is equal to true the row highlights to a new background color to make it stand out. What I need is for the parent row(s) (all the way up to the top view) to also highlight should a child record have that value set to true as well. This is so the end user knows either the row itself is overridden or a child entry is overridden.

Suggestions?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have tried using the "HideExpandColumnRecursive" function to do this, the DetailTableBinding event, and looping through the grid items (to expose NestedTableViews) but it seems like any object that can access the data in the cell can't talk to its parent or vice versa.

Any suggestions?

Anyone at all?

Hello,

You can access the nested table view directly, for any item, and then access the Parent item, to get a reference to the parent items and style them. Give this suggestion a try and let me know how it goes and if any other questions arise.

Do you have a code example? I tried this and couldn't get it to work.

Yavor- that was perfect, thanks!! Sorry it took so long to reply. It's been quite busy at my office and this one fell through the cracks.
