How to: Display Master-Detail Tables in Two Grids on Separate Tabs of a PageControl

  • 3 minutes to read

This example demonstrates how to use two grids to display related tables. Each grid is located on a separate tab. When an end user focuses a card in the first (master) grid, the card’s detail data is displayed in the second grid. The template column in the first grid contains a button. When clicked, the button activates the second tab page that contains the detail grid. For more information on master-detail data, see the following DevExpress Support Center examples:
