If you an hierarchical database, you can use a GridDataBoundGrid as in this sample to diplay the information in a tree. \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.3.0.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\DataBound\Hierarchical\GDBGTreeLines\sample.gif If you really need to use a GridControl, then you will have to manage the expanding and collapsing of teh rows your self. It is doable, but will take some coding. We ship one sample. C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.3.0.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\In Depth\VirtTreeGrid Here is a forum thread that has a helper class to do something like this. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/Forums/message.aspx?MessageID=25202

This can be done. You would have to use a virtual grid like VirtTreeGrid and switch the roles of the row and columns.

I see the virttreegrid is more like a hierarchy grid . . i would like the functionality like they have in excel for Data, Group and Outline this is not a heirarchy this is simply showing and hiding a set of columns with 1 click . . thanks, ak >is VirtTreeGrid a sample ?? i dont see it . . i am using version 3.0.1.0 > >Can you send me a link ? > >thks, >ak > >>i am using a virual grid but i wanted to see if you had the ability to expand / collapse columns like you can do in excel . . >> >>In excel, you go to Data, Group and Outline . . >> >>thanks, >>ak >> >>

We currently have no support for expanding/collapsing columns. You would have to code this yourself. Here are a couple of samples that show some ways to do this. In the first one, double click the column headers to expose new columns. In the second one, just click a button the the column of buttons. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/TradeGridSample_9b94d53a.zip http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/GC_Expand_8d6bfaed.zip
