GridView.MasterRowGetChildList Event

Enables you to supply detail data manually.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DXCategory("MasterDetail")]
public event MasterRowGetChildListEventHandler MasterRowGetChildList

VB.NET

<DXCategory("MasterDetail")>
Public Event MasterRowGetChildList As MasterRowGetChildListEventHandler

Event Data

The MasterRowGetChildList event's data class is MasterRowGetChildListEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
ChildList	Gets or sets a detail clone’s record list.
RelationIndex	Gets the relation index that identifies the affected detail. Inherited from CustomMasterRowEventArgs.
RowHandle	Gets the handle of the currently processed master row in the current View. Inherited from CustomMasterRowEventArgs.

Remarks

The MasterRowGetChildList event is raised when a particular detail is about to be created. The event’s e.RowHandle and e.RelationIndex parameters identify the detail. To supply custom detail data, use the e.ChildList parameter.

Handle the MasterRowGetChildList event to do the following:

• Substitute the actual detail data with data supplied manually.
• Supply data to details that have no initial data (implement dynamic data loading). In this case, you will also need to handle the GridView.MasterRowGetRelationCount, GridView.MasterRowGetRelationName and GridView.MasterRowEmpty events.

C#

gridView.MasterRowGetChildList += (s, e) => {
    e.ChildList = e.RelationIndex == 0 ? SampleData1.GetData().ToList() : SampleData2.GetData().ToList();
};

VB.NET

AddHandler gridView.MasterRowGetChildList, Sub(s, e) e.ChildList = If(e.RelationIndex = 0, SampleData1.GetData().ToList(), SampleData2.GetData().ToList())

Note

The MasterRowGetChildList event may fire multiple times for a single row during an application run. In specific instances, the MasterRowGetChildList event fires twice when a master row is expanded. If you implement lengthy operations within this event and this affects performance, we recommend you cache data.
