Event Data

The GroupRowExpanding event's handler receives an argument of the RowAllowEventArgs type. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Allow	Gets or sets whether the operation is allowed.
Handled	Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OriginalSource	Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
RoutedEvent	Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Row	Gets the processed row. Inherited from RowEventArgs.
RowHandle	Gets the processed row's handle. Inherited from RowEventArgs.
Source	Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

Remarks

The GroupRowExpanding event is raised before a group row is expanded by an end-user or in code, allowing you to cancel this action. The group row is identified by its handle via the RowEventArgs.RowHandle property. To prevent the group row from being expanded, set the event parameter's RowAllowEventArgs.Allow parameter to false.

Group rows can be expanded recursively using the GridViewBase.ExpandFocusedRow method overload with the recursive parameter set to true. In this instance, the GroupRowExpanding event is raised only once (for the row passed as this method's parameter). This event isn't raised for nesting group rows.

The GridControl.ExpandAllGroups method allows you to expand all group rows. In this instance, the GroupRowExpanding event is raised only once. The event parameter's RowEventArgs.RowHandle property returns an invalid row handle (DataControlBase.InvalidRowHandle).

After the group row has been expanded, the GridControl.GroupRowExpanded event is raised.
