CustomDrawTreeButtonEventArgs.Expanded Property

Gets a value indicating whether the painted button’s corresponding row is expanded.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool Expanded { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property Expanded As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the painted button’s corresponding row is expanded; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Clicking a tree button results in expanding/collapsing its corresponding row. By default, tree buttons that correspond to expanded or collapsed rows display ‘-‘ and ‘+’ characters respectively. When performing your own tree button painting, use the Expanded property to determine the row’s state and then paint the button accordingly.

Example

The following sample code shows how to use the VGridControlBase.CustomDrawTreeButton event to paint tree buttons. Custom painting is not applied to category expand buttons, these buttons are painted in their default manner. The result is shown in the image below:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid;
using DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events;

private void vGridControl1_CustomDrawTreeButton(object sender, 
CustomDrawTreeButtonEventArgs e) {
   VGridControl grid = sender as VGridControl;
    if(e.TreeButtonType == TreeButtonType.ExplorerBarButton) return;

    Color bkColor = e.Row == grid.FocusedRow ? Color.White : Color.Blue;
    if(e.Expanded)
        e.Cache.FillPolygon(new Point[]{ e.Bounds.Location,
    new Point(e.Bounds.Right, e.Bounds.Y),
    new Point(e.Bounds.X + e.Bounds.Width / 2, e.Bounds.Bottom) }, bkColor);
    else
        e.Cache.FillPolygon(new Point[]{ e.Bounds.Location,
    new Point(e.Bounds.Right, e.Bounds.Y + e.Bounds.Height / 2),
    new Point(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Bottom) }, bkColor);
    e.Handled = true;
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid
Imports DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Events

Private Sub VGridControl1_CustomDrawTreeButton(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As CustomDrawTreeButtonEventArgs) Handles VGridControl1.CustomDrawTreeButton
   Dim grid As VGridControl = TryCast(sender, VGridControl)
    If e.TreeButtonType = TreeButtonType.ExplorerBarButton Then
        Return
    End If

    Dim bkColor As Color = If(e.Row = grid.FocusedRow, Color.White, Color.Blue)
    If e.Expanded Then
        e.Cache.FillPolygon(New Point(){ e.Bounds.Location, New Point(e.Bounds.Right, e.Bounds.Y), New Point(e.Bounds.X + e.Bounds.Width \ 2, e.Bounds.Bottom) }, bkColor)
    Else
        e.Cache.FillPolygon(New Point(){ e.Bounds.Location, New Point(e.Bounds.Right, e.Bounds.Y + e.Bounds.Height \ 2), New Point(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Bottom) }, bkColor)
    End If
    e.Handled = True
End Sub
