Hello,
I am working with the Xceed Grid Component. I am trying to create a parent/child relationship between rows using the Group object. The goal is to have a set of parent rows that can expand to display their child nodes. Below is a text example:
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|————————-|
|+Par 1 | Val 1 | Val 1 |
|+Par 2 | Val 2 | Val 2 |
|+Par 3 | Val 3 | Val 3 |
Par 1 Row gets expanded.
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|————————-|
| -Par 1 | Val 1 | Val 1 |
| Kid 1 | Val # | Val # |
| Kid 2 | Val # | Val # |
|+Par 2 | Val 2 | Val 2 |
|+Par 3 | Val 3 | Val 3 |
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make a Group’s GroupManagerRow behave like a DataRow. I found an example online describing how to override the GroupManagerRow and define new OnPaint / PaintBackground / PaintForeground Event Handlers. This seems a little excessive for what I want to do.
Another solution is to extend the GridControl and manage the parent/child relationship on my own without using Groups. However, that is a whole new can of worms – sorting is the first problem that comes to mind.
Is there something that I am missing? Is there a way to treat a Group’s header like a DataRow?
Thanks,
John
