Question about the sample UpdateableExpandedGrid

Hi Clay (or anyone in Syncfusion), I am attaching a sample provided by you earlier. It works pretty good for dynamically adding and removing rows without collapsing. However, there is one issue: If I expand a parent node and then add/remove another patent node, all expanded nodes will collapse again. No problem for adding/removing child nodes. I cannot figure out how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot Chris updateableexpandgrid_9872.zip updateableexpandgrid_9233.zip

I don''t know of a easy way to handle this. One solution is to freeze the painting on the form using interop. This techique is discussed in one of our Windows Forms FAQs, http://www.syncfusion.com/faq/winforms/search/637.asp Here is a different sample. This sample keeps the expand states the same before and after a sort. In order to prevent the flash of the root level collapsing with the sort, the drawing is frozen. It adds a new property to your derived grid to feeze the screen painting through a Win32 API call. (These type of problem go away in the new 2.0 GridGroupingControl.)

THanks Clay. The sample works nicely, but it seems there is no FreezePainting property in C#, did I miss something? >I don''t know of a easy way to handle this. > >One solution is to freeze the painting on the form using interop.

Check out the FAQ reference I gave. It shows you how to add the freezing property using interop.
