Retrieving a group''s records in GroupedColumns.Changed event

[Administrator]

Hi,

I am using GridGroupingControl v6.303.0.6.

Whenever the user adds or removes a group, I need to retrieve the groups and their Records.

I have a handler attached to the GridGroupingControl.TableDescriptor.GroupedColumns.Changed event. In the handler, I get the groups/Records from GridGroupingControl.Table.TopLevelGroup.Groups. I then recursively iterate the Groups (and their sub-groups, etc..), and process their Records.

Unfortunately, during the GroupedColumns.Changed event the TopLevelGroup.Groups collection has not been updated to include the user's changes yet.

Is there anyway I can get the "up to date" groups/records while handling a GridGroupingControl.TableDescriptor.GroupedColumns.Changed event? Or is there another event I could use?

Currently, as a workaround, I do Thread.Sleep(100) in a background thread, and then invoke back into the UI thread. By then the TopLevelGroup collection is up to date. But this hack makes my stomach hurt :)

Hi Richard,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

You could check the e.Action and iterate though the groups to get the uptodate groups. See the code to iterate though the toplevelgroups.

  void GroupedColumns_Changed(object sender, Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.Action== Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedType.Insert || e.Action == Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedType.Remove)
            {
                this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.ExpandAllGroups();
            Group grp = this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.TopLevelGroup;
            DetailsSection ds = grp.Details;
            //group.Records
            if (ds is GridRecordsDetails)
            {
                GridRecordsDetails grd = ds as GridRecordsDetails;
                foreach (Record r2 in grd.Records)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("*  " + r2.ToString());
                }
            }
            else
                //group.Groups
                if (ds is GridGroupsDetails)
                {
                    GridGroupsDetails ggd = ds as GridGroupsDetails;
                    foreach (Group g in ggd.Groups)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("+  " + g.ToString());
                    }
                }
            }
        }
