Master-Details Relation in SfDataGrid

I'm new to Syncfusion Tools and looking for a DataGrid to show Master-Detail relations.

I've found it in the GridDataBoundGrid component -  https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/databoundgrid/using-master-details-relation

Hi Alfred, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

We have checked the reported query “Master-Details Relation in SfDataGrid” from our side. SfDataGrid provided support to show Master-Details relations as per your requirement. You can refer the following user guide documentation to use the Master-Details View in SfDataGrid. 

 

Master Details View UG link - https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/sfdatagrid/masterdetailsview  

 

We have prepared the sample with master details view in SfDataGrid for your reference and you can download the same from the following location.

Hi Jayaleshwari

thank you for your assistance.

I've tried your example which shows the following result like the screen shot - the Detail-grid is nested in the Master-grind:

But what I want do achieve is to place the Detail-grid in a separate panel beneath the Master-grid.

Like it is shown for the databoundgrid in  https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/databoundgrid/using-master-details-relation

Screenshot:

With this approach I will be able to design a screen with

- one master-grid in the top-panel. For example:  customer

- two or more detail-grids of the customer in the bottom-panel in tabsheets.

   For example:  customer-orders in tab1, customer-contact-persons in tab2, customer-mailing-list in tab3, ...

Is there any way to achieve this with SfDatagrind

Thanks again

Alfred

Hi Alfred, 

Thanks for your update.  

SfDataGrid doesn’t have direct support to display master and details view in separate panels and tab pages as per your requirement. However we have a workaround to achieve this by using separate SfDataGrid controls for master and the details view and the TabControl to hold the child DataGrid. The DataSource for the child DataGrid can be changed when selection is changed in the parent DataGrid by using the SfDataGrid.SelectionChanged event. Please refer the following code example. 

Code example :  

We have prepared a simple sample with single details grid for your reference and it is available in the following link. 

Sample link : http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/CS-91508485  

If your sample have two or more details grid, you need to add separate TabPage and SfDataGrid for each details grid. Currenty we are analyzing the feasibility to achieve this behavior generically based on the number of details grid. We will update you with further details on January 30, 2019.
