Validate controls in a radGrid collapsed Nestedview

[Karl]

I have a radgrid and each row has a nestedview.

Inside these nested views, a number of textbox controls are dynamically added using a repeater control.

Some, but not all, of these textboxes require a value to be entered.

If the row is expanded, then validation occurs on the controls that require it. If the row is collapsed, then no validation occurs.

How can I force validation even if the row is collapsed, whether it has ever been expanded or not? As I understand it the nested view isn't loaded until its required? Is there a way to force the nestedviews to be loaded but hidden when the page loads, or can anyone thing of another way around this?

Basically, I need a RadGrid to have a hidden list of controls that are shown when the user expands the row, but need to validate all controls, even if the row hasn't been expanded.

Hello Karl,

Try to set the HierarchyLoadMode="Client" for TableView and see if it works as expected.

  <MasterTableView  HierarchyLoadMode="Client">

Thanks,
