GridControl.IsMasterRowExpanded(Int32, DetailDescriptorBase) Method

Determines the specified master row’s expanded state and, optionally, the specified Detail’s visibility.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

public bool IsMasterRowExpanded(
    int rowHandle,
    DetailDescriptorBase descriptor = null
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
rowHandle Int32

An integer value specifying the master row by its value. If an invalid row handle is specified, the method returns false.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Default Description
descriptor DetailDescriptorBase null

A DetailDescriptorBase descendant specifying the detail view whose visibility needs to be checked. If the master row is expanded but a different detail is currently visible, the method returns false. The same happens if you pass an object that doesn’t represent the specified master row’s detail.

Returns

Type Description
Boolean

true if the specified master row is expanded and the specified detail is visible; otherwise, false.

Remarks

To change a master row’s expanded state or switch between available Details, use the following methods: GridControl.ExpandMasterRow, GridControl.CollapseMasterRow, GridControl.SetMasterRowExpanded.

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.
