DataGrid with list of NavigationDrawers

[Alex Caudron]

Hi,

I like the idea of the navigation drawer, as you could have a summary, and when you open it up you can see the detail.  Would it be possible to put a NavigationDrawer inside an sfDatagrid cell though ?

Is it possible to put a UserControl inside a sfDatagrid cell ?

Thank you

Alex

Hi Alex Caudron,

We have analyzed your query, In the SfDataGrid, you can use the various built-in column types. To insert a NavigationDrawer control into a DataGrid cell, we recommend using the custom column feature. You can achieve this by creating a new column, derived from GridColumn, and creating a custom cell renderer by overriding the predefined renderer in SfDataGrid.

For a related example, we have documented the process of inserting a Sparkline into a DataGrid cell. We have provided UF for your reference , Kindly refer to the below UG,

Yes, you can implement a navigation drawer concept within an sfDataGrid cell by utilizing a  Escape Road  UserControl. This allows you to display a summary in the cell and expand it to show detailed information. To achieve this, you can define a DataTemplate for the cell that includes your UserControl, enabling dynamic content within the grid. Just ensure that the UserControl is designed to handle the interactions and data binding appropriately for a seamless user experience.

Hi Alex Caudron, you can use the custom column feature in SfDataGrid to insert a NavigationDrawer control into a cell, by creating a new column that inherits from GridColumn and overrides the default cell constructor.

Yes, you can place a NavigationDrawer or a UserControl inside a Syncfusion SfDataGrid cell by using a GridTemplateColumn with a custom CellTemplate.

Using a NavigationDrawer inside an sfDataGrid cell could be useful for keeping complex details hidden until needed, while allowing the grid to remain compact and easier to navigate.  Bubble Shooter

How you guys are diving into DataGrids and NavigationDrawers! I recently had to tackle a similar project, and integrating user-friendly features really made a difference in navigation. It’s wild how these technical elements can enhance the user experience—just like how engaging storytelling does in games like FNAF! Keep up the great work!
