    [CLOSED] Nested data in nested grids

    Hi.

    I am trying to achieve a screen to manage a travelers insurance selling page.
    Data will come with each record having other recrords related (as I will bind a collection of objects, each one will have an aggregation inside I want to show).

    I have essentially two clases (aggregated with others). Simplified they would look like:

    Class Package
    - Product [name, price...]
    - DateFrom
    - DateTo
    - DestinationCountry
    - Travellers[]

    Class Traveler
    - Name
    - BirthDate

    I need to show them all in nested grids, as I show in the example screen imagined attached here:

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	NestedGrids_NewSale.jpg 
Views:	296 
Size:	66.0 KB 
ID:	4100

    As you can see, each package is shown with its data (in different color backgorund, not necessarily as a multiheader as it looks like) with all travellers below each one.

    I tried with RowExpander, but it is not what I expect, althought I could solve it somehow that way. Rowexpander shows an opening template with HTML in which I would have to hardcode some Table/Tr/Td I guess to show travellers.

    I saw the multilevel grid example also. That would be nice if it where possible to code it in aspx tagging. The example is created programatically what is a bit confusing for me to adapt and customize.

    Which would be the best approach to get this working?

    Is it possible to do something linke:

    <ext:GridPanel ID="grdCoberturas" runat="server" Height="450" Width="1000">
                        <Store>

    #End Region
    In that scenario, is the store well configured to show nested data (Travellers inside each Package)?

    Thank

    Hi,

    Personally, I would suggest coming up with another plan. Building this out as a nested grid is going to get very complicated very fast. I would expect the code to be difficult to maintain and debug. These types of UI scenarios should be avoided.

    @daniil or @vladimir might have another opinion on this, but I'd certainly recommend figuring out another way to present your data to avoid complicated nested gridpanel scenarios.

    I see...

    Thanks Geoffrey.

    If its impossible to nest two grids from plain aspx tags, I'm afraid I agree with you. The code will become messy to mantein.

    Any opinion or suggestion?. I'll wait also any opinions from Daniil or Vladimir.

    I guess if no aspx tag is possible, I 'll end using the RowExpander expanding somehow all travellers with a regular table. It is possible to implement a FOR inside a template, isn't it?

    Is there anyway to make the expanded area fixed (not collapsible)?

    And what about the Store? Is it well configured to bring the complex nested data?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, it's not supported to place any components inside Template Html.

    RowExpander supports Component, but only one row can be expanded at the moment that is not option for you.

    Here is the example how I would implement the requirement. It should help you to start and answer your rest questions.

    That sounds good for me. I just tested it and looks fine.

    Could I render complex rows? So I can show each package with all data not limited to a lineal row, headed by a "Package #1" or something (all this before the RowExpansion showing the table of Travellers).

    The nested data management throught the store worked like a charm...

    Thanks

    Well, I'm not 100% sure what you mean under "complex rows". Could you clarify?

    HI Daniil.

    As you can see in the mockup screen, each package is not shown in a single grid row, but in a region composed by other controls. At this time I discarded that need. I will edit/add packages from a side panel with controls, but still I want to show them extended (Origin Country, Destination, Product, Date From, Date To and other information missing in the mockup) not with such components, but at least with labels and text.

    PACKAGE #1
    DATE FROM ##/##/## DATE TO ##/##/## OTHER INFO Lorem ipsum dolor
    PRODUCT Product Name DETINATION Brazil OTHER INFO Lorem ipsum dolor
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    List of Travellers<>

    PACKAGE #2
    ....

    Thanks
    Regards

    I would place a main data into common GridPanel columns.

    Some other info you could place into a row body. Please see the GridView here:
    https://examples1.ext.net/#/GridPane...ectDataSource/

    Generally, you could place any HTML to a row body.

    Thanks

    I can't get this to work.

    GetRowClass handler is not invoked. Is it compatible with RowExpander plugin?

    <View>
                            <ext:GridView runat="server" EnableRowBody="true">
                                     <GetRowClass Handler="alert('Test');rowParams.body = '<p><b>Contacto:</b>' + record.data.ContactoApellido + ', ' + record.data.ContactoNombre + ' (' + record.data.ContactoTelefono + ' ; ' + record.data.ContactoEmail + ')</p>'; return 'x-grid3-row-expanded';" />                          
                            </ext:GridView>
                        </View>
    Even leaving only the alert test in handler, it is never invoked rendering the Grid.

    Thanks
    Regards
