GridControl.GetVisibleDetail(Int32) Method

Returns the currently visible detail data control identified by its master row.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public DataControlBase GetVisibleDetail(
    int rowHandle
)

VB.NET

Public Function GetVisibleDetail(
    rowHandle As Integer
) As DataControlBase

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rowHandle	Int32	An integer value identifying the row by its handle.

Returns

Type	Description
DataControlBase	A DataControlBase descendant which displays detail data. null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the currently visible detail is not represented by a DataControlDetailDescriptor.

Remarks

When you set up a master-detail hierarchy within a GridControl, you create Detail Descriptor objects which contain settings used to create actual detail controls. While there’s a single Detail Descriptor (template) per data relation, there can be multiple detail controls - one per each expanded detail.

The GetVisibleDetail method returns the actual data control that displays detail data for the specified master row. This can be any DataControlBase descendant, but it will typically be a GridControl. Note that the method returns the control only if it’s currently visible (resides within an expanded detail).

Example

This example demonstrates how to expand and collapse the GridControl‘s master rows in code. The example contains the following buttons:

• The Expand All button expands all master rows.
• The Collapse All button collapses all master rows.
• The Collapse All But This button collapses all master rows except for the focused row / row with the focused detail.

The CTRL+* shortcut is bound to toggle the focused master row’s expanded state.

View Example: Expand and Collapse Master Rows

The following table lists members used in this example:

Member	Description
GridControl.CollapseMasterRow	Collapses the detail section for the specified row.
GridControl.ExpandMasterRow	Expands the specified master row and, optionally, shows the specified Detail.
GridControl.IsMasterRowExpanded	Determines the specified master row’s expanded state and, optionally, the specified Detail’s visibility.
GridControl.SetMasterRowExpanded	Changes the expanded state for a specified master row and, optionally, shows a specified Detail.
