The following code example exports grid content to a file in HTML format without expanding detail pages:

uses cxGridExportLink;
// ...
var
  AStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
  AStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
  ExportGridToHTMLStream(AStream, cxGrid1, False);
  AStream.SaveToFile('Employees.html');
  AStream.Free;
end;
