Option to not (!) expand/collapse group in SfDataGrid on Single Click

[Bernd]

Hi,

is there a way to disable the behaviour of expanding/collapsing groups in a SfDataGrid with a single click. I would like to only expand/collapse by clicking on the symbol in column 0 or by double click.

How do I do that?

Regards
Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

We have checked your query. You can achieve your requirement by override the OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp and OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick methods on CaptionSummaryRowControl class like the below code example.

C#
 

public partial class MainWindow : Window 

    { 

        public MainWindow() 

        { 

            InitializeComponent(); 

           this.sfgrid.RowGenerator = new CustomRowGenerator(this.sfgrid); 

        } 

 

    } 

 

public class CustomRowGenerator : RowGenerator 

    { 

        public CustomRowGenerator(SfDataGrid dataGrid) 

            : base(dataGrid) 

        { 

        } 

 

        protected override VirtualizingCellsControl GetVirtualizingCellsControl<T>() 

        { 

            if (typeof(T) == typeof(CaptionSummaryRowControl)) 

            { 

                CustomCaptionSummaryRowControl rowcontrol = new CustomCaptionSummaryRowControl(); 

                rowcontrol.sfDataGrid = this.Owner; 

                return rowcontrol; 

            } 

            return base.GetVirtualizingCellsControl<T>(); 

        } 

    } 

 

    public class CustomCaptionSummaryRowControl : CaptionSummaryRowControl 

    { 

        public SfDataGrid sfDataGrid; 

 

        public CustomCaptionSummaryRowControl() 

            : base() 

        { 

            this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(CustomCaptionSummaryRowControl); 

        } 

 

        protected override void OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(MouseButtonEventArgs e) 

        { 

            var visualContainer = sfDataGrid.GetVisualContainer() as VisualContainer; 

            var index = visualContainer.PointToCellRowColumnIndex(e.GetPosition(null)); 

            if (e.ClickCount == 1 && index.ColumnIndex != 0) 

                return; 

            base.OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(e); 

        } 

        protected override void OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick(MouseButtonEventArgs e) 

        { 

            if (this.DataContext is Group) 

            { 

                var group = this.DataContext as Group; 

                if (group.IsExpanded) 

                    sfDataGrid.CollapseGroup(group); 

                else 

                    sfDataGrid.ExpandGroup(group); 

            } 

            base.OnPreviewMouseDoubleClick(e); 

        } 

    }

Hi Bernd, 

 

Your requirement can be achieved by handling GroupCollapsing event also. Please refer the below code snippet, 

 

dataGrid.AutoExpandGroups = true; 

dataGrid.GroupCollapsing += DataGrid_GroupCollapsing; 

 

private void DataGrid_GroupCollapsing(object sender, GroupChangingEventArgs e) 

{ 

    e.Cancel = true; 

}

Sowndaiya,

thank you for the sample. It works mostly like expected but it also blocks the single click on the adorner which I'd like to still respond to a single click.

Bernd

Sivakumar,

thank you for the suggestion but this blocks collapsing in general which is not the goal.

Bernd
