Disable drill down in the grid

[Sergey Merkuriev]

How to disable drill down in the Grid Grouping control?

I display in the grid collection of following objects

public class DataItem
{
public ICollection Attributes { get; private set; }
public string Name { get; private set; }
}

and I do not need display nested collection of Attributes in the grid. How to hide expander control [+] and prevent user drill down with keyboard?

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

To prevent the nested table from getting shown by expanding the parent record, two things have to be followed in application.
1) ShowTableIndent property must be set to false.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableOptions.ShowTableIndent = false;

2) RecordExpanding event have to handled to prevent the nested table droppingdown while expanding through keyboard.

this.gridGroupingControl1.RecordExpanding += new Syncfusion.Grouping.RecordEventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_RecordExpanding);

void gridGroupingControl1_RecordExpanding(object sender, Syncfusion.Grouping.RecordEventArgs e)
{
  e.Cancel = true;
}

Here is a sample for your reference in which this has been implemented.

Thank you. That works. But I've got another problem with row selection. See attached picture.

Here is code which I use for row selection:

private void OnPrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
Record record = this.GridControl.Table.CurrentRecord;
object dataItem = GetDataItem(record == null ? (object)null : record.GetData());

GridCurrentCell cc = this.GridControl.TableControl.CurrentCell;
GridControlBase grid = this.GridControl.TableControl.CurrentCell.Grid;

if (dataItem != null && e.Inner.RowIndex > grid.Model.Rows.HeaderCount &&
e.Inner.ColIndex > grid.Model.Cols.HeaderCount && cc.HasCurrentCellAt(e.Inner.RowIndex))
{
if (e.Inner.ColIndex == cc.ColIndex)
{
if (cc.IsEditing)
{
e.Inner.Style.Interior = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(SystemColors.Window);
}
else
{
e.Inner.Style.Interior = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Color.RoyalBlue);
}
}
else
{
if (e.Inner.Style.Interior.BackColor == GridControl.BackColor)
{
e.Inner.Style.Interior = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Color.CornflowerBlue);
}
else
{
int resultColor = AlphaBlendRGB(e.Inner.Style.Interior.BackColor.ToArgb(),
Color.CornflowerBlue.ToArgb(), 153);
e.Inner.Style.Interior = new Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Color.FromArgb(resultColor));
}
}

e.Inner.Style.TextColor = cc.IsEditing ? SystemColors.WindowText : SystemColors.HighlightText;
e.Inner.Style.Font.Bold = cc.IsEditing ? false : true;
}
}

private static int AlphaBlendRGB(int src, int bg, byte alpha)
{
uint rb = (uint)((((src & 0x00ff00ff) * alpha) + ((bg & 0x00ff00ff) * (0xff - alpha))) & 0xff00ff00);
uint g = (uint)((((src & 0x0000ff00) * alpha) + ((bg & 0x0000ff00) * (0xff - alpha))) & 0x00ff0000);
return (int)((src & 0xff000000) | ((rb | g) >> 8) + 0x00010101);
}

I forgot to say:

1. That problem, I mentioned before, happen only with records which has option to drill down.
2. Rows/record selection I have made according to example "Focused Selection" from "Syncfusion\EssentialStudio\6.4.0.15\Windows\Grid.Grouping.Windows\Samples\2.0\Selections\MultipleRecordSelection\"
If you will bound to that example collection of objects like I mentioned first post then you will get same problem.

Problem solved with using condition "e.Inner.Style.CellType != "Static""

Example:

if (dataItem != null && e.Inner.RowIndex > grid.Model.Rows.HeaderCount &&
e.Inner.Style.CellType != "Static" &&
e.Inner.ColIndex > grid.Model.Cols.HeaderCount && cc.HasCurrentCellAt(e.Inner.RowIndex))


I think you need update your examples too.
