Grid with Title View and Details

Master/Detail Rows with TileView

created 4 days ago

The answer must be easy, but I have been unable to find it.

I have a grid with 3 GridViews. They are:
Main: Events
Child 1: Technicians
Child 2: Steps

When using normal GridViews, the grid populates with the Events, then a box with a plus symbol I can click to expand the details (Technicians and Steps) below it.

I've converted the main GridView to a TileView and have created the layout so I can see the Event data in tiles. However, there is nothing to click to expand the detail GridViews below it. The small box with the plus that you click to expand doesn't show up in TileView, only in GridView. How do I enable this to be able to expand the detail rows beneath the main tile?

Hello Brian,

Unfortunately, TileView cannot be used as the master View in a master-detail grid. As an alternative, you can use LayoutView as your master View and show cards instead of tiles. We shared an example of this approach in the following help topic: WinForms Data Grid - Use the Layout View as a master View in master-detail mode.

Alternatively, you can handle the TileView.ItemClick event and show a custom form that contains a GridControl with data according to the tile/row that was clicked.

Let me know if this works for you.
