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.v18.2.dll

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*

Optional. 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 sample shows you a few members that allow expanding and collapsing master rows. Keyboard presses are processed to allow the CTRL+* shortcut to toggle the currently focused master row’s state. There are also two buttons - one allowing expansion of all master rows, and another that collapses details for all but the focused row.

The following members are 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.
