• Nov 13, 2018

This example expands a collapsed group row and vice versa when this row receives focus.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid;
using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base;

private void gridView1_FocusedRowChanged(object sender, FocusedRowChangedEventArgs e) {
     GridView view = sender as GridView;
     if (view == null) return;
     if (view.IsGroupRow(e.FocusedRowHandle)) {
        bool expanded = view.GetRowExpanded(e.FocusedRowHandle);
        view.SetRowExpanded(e.FocusedRowHandle, !expanded);
     }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid
Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Private Sub GridView1_FocusedRowChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
  ByVal e As FocusedRowChangedEventArgs) Handles GridView1.FocusedRowChanged
   Dim view As GridView = sender
   If view Is Nothing Then
       Return
   End If
   If view.IsGroupRow(e.FocusedRowHandle) Then
      Dim expanded As Boolean = view.GetRowExpanded(e.FocusedRowHandle)
      view.SetRowExpanded(e.FocusedRowHandle, Not expanded)
   End If
End Sub
