Turn Off GridViewToggleRowDetailsColumn When There Are No Details

[Kelly]

I'm using a GridViewToggleRowDetailsColumn column. Most of my rows have no details. I don't want the +/- expander to show if a row has no details. The only way I've found to get rid of the expander for a given row is to set the GridViewToggleRowDetailsColumn cell's visibility to Collapsed in the RowLoaded handler. Seems VERY hacky. Is there a better way?

Sorry if I'm redundant. I've seen a few other threads in this forum with the same question, but the pointers in the responses either go nowhere, or refer to WPF projects that have no applicability in SL.

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

You may try to predefine the CellTemplate of GridViewToggleButtonColumn and bind the Visibility of the RadToggleButton through a converter, which will be used for verifying whether there are row details or not. I am sending you a sample project illustrating this approach. Its proper implementation and style depends on your specific requirements, but still the idea should be the same.
 

All the best,
