GridControl.SetMasterRowExpanded(Int32, Boolean, DetailDescriptorBase) Method

Changes the expanded state for a specified master row and, optionally, shows a specified Detail.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public void SetMasterRowExpanded(
    int rowHandle,
    bool expand,
    DetailDescriptorBase descriptor = null
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SetMasterRowExpanded(
    rowHandle As Integer,
    expand As Boolean,
    descriptor As DetailDescriptorBase = Nothing
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rowHandle	Int32	An integer value specifying the master row by its handle.
expand	Boolean	true to expand the specified row; false to collapse it.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
descriptor	DetailDescriptorBase	null	A DetailDescriptorBase object specifying the detail section to be made visible when expanding a master row. If the specified object doesn’t represent a detail for the specified master row, then this parameter is ignored. The same happens if you pass null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

Use this method to expand or collapse master rows from code or switch between visible details. This might become useful if you are providing your own control for master row management while disabling the TableView.ShowDetailButtons option. Another way to use this option is when implementing custom automated detail visibility management.

This method may not expand or collapse the master row if these actions are overridden in GridControl.MasterRowExpanding and/or GridControl.MasterRowCollapsing event handers.

To determine a master row’s expanded state and currently visible detail, use the GridControl.IsMasterRowExpanded and GridControl.GetVisibleDetailDescriptor (GridControl.GetVisibleDetail) methods.

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.

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.
