Setting Visibility on GridRowElement not having disired result

[Gary]

In a cell formatting event, I need to hide a row based on a cell value.  Here's my code:

cellElem.RowElement.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

However, the row is not collapsed.  It's hidden, but still takes up real estate on the grid.  I also tried setting Visibility and IsVisible on the RowInfo object and it did not product the correct behavior either.

Hi Gary,

For hiding rows based on cell values I would suggest using the filtering mechanism of RadGridView. You can see how it works in our online documentation.

That is not a suitable solution.  The values we base the decision to hide rows is a bit flag, so none of the comparison operations supported by filtering would work to compare against a flag.

Is it not a bug that setting the visibility to collapsed on a row does not collapse it?  This same behavior works as expected on your WPF grid, I would expect the same result on the WinForms grid.

Hello Gary,

The required functionality could be implemented in the CustomFiltering event of RadGridView. There is a bug however which prevents the event from being fired properly. We will fix it for the upcoming service pack which is due early next month. Write back if you have other questions.
