Row details template is a data panel that can be added to each row for displaying details. FlexGrid provides the flexibility to show information about each row through a template. You can embed text, UI elements, and data-bound controls, such as InputPanel, in the row details template. For each row, you can insert a data template to present its summary and show/provide details in other controls, such as text box, without affecting the dimensions of the grid. You can also use this template to create hierarchical grids displaying grouped data. In this example, we use row details template to display product-related information in FlexGrid.

The following image shows details of each row displayed through a row details template.

To add row details template in FlexGrid

1. Drag a grid control onto the XAML designer in a WPF application.
2. Create three columns in the grid to display Product ID, Product Name and Order Date data fields.

   XAML	Copy Code
   <c1:C1FlexGrid.Columns> <c1:Column Header="Product ID" Binding="{Binding ProductId}" Width="75" /> <c1:Column Header="Product Name" Binding="{Binding ProductName}" Width="150" /> <c1:Column Header="Order Date" Binding="{Binding OrderDate}" Width="300" /> </c1:C1FlexGrid.Columns>

   
   
   
3. Create a row details template in XAML that embeds an image control and six text block controls within a DockPanel.

   XAML

   Copy Code

   <c1:C1FlexGrid.RowDetailsTemplate> <DataTemplate> <DockPanel Background="GhostWhite"> <Image DockPanel.Dock="Left" Name="img" Source="{Binding ImgSource}" Height="64" Margin="10" /> <Grid Margin="0, 10"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> <RowDefinition Height="Auto" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <TextBlock Text="Product ID: " FontWeight="Bold" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ProductId}" Grid.Column="1" /> <TextBlock Text="Product Name: " FontWeight="Bold" Grid.Row="1" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ProductName}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" /> <TextBlock Text="Order Date: " FontWeight="Bold" Grid.Row="2" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding OrderDate, StringFormat=d}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" /> </Grid> </DockPanel> </DataTemplate> </c1:C1FlexGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>

   
   
4. In the MainWindow.xaml.cs file, create a class, User, to add data in the grid.

   Public Class User
       Public Property ProductId() As Integer
           Get
               Return m_ProductId
           End Get
           Set
               m_ProductId = Value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_ProductId As Integer
   
       Public Property ProductName() As String
           Get
               Return m_ProductName
           End Get
           Set
               m_ProductName = Value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_ProductName As String
   
       Public Property OrderDate() As DateTime
           Get
               Return m_OrderDate
           End Get
           Set
               m_OrderDate = Value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_OrderDate As DateTime
   
       Public Property ImgSource() As ImageSource
           Get
               Return m_ImgSource
           End Get
           Set
               m_ImgSource = Value
           End Set
       End Property
       Private m_ImgSource As ImageSource
   
   End Class
   

   • C#

   public class User
   {
       public int ProductId { get; set; }
   
       public string ProductName { get; set; }
   
       public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
   
       public ImageSource ImgSource{ get; set; }
               
   }
   

   
   
5. Populate the grid by creating a list, and bind the grid to the list using the ItemsSource property.

   Public Sub New()
       InitializeComponent()
   
       'Create a list
       Dim users As New List(Of User)()
   
       'Add items to the list
       users.Add(New User() With {
       .ProductId = 101,
       .ProductName = "Beverages",
       .OrderDate = New DateTime(1971, 7, 23),
       .ImgSource = New BitmapImage(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/Resources/Beverage.png"))
   })
       users.Add(New User() With {
       .ProductId = 102,
       .ProductName = "Condiments",
       .OrderDate = New DateTime(1974, 1, 17),
       .ImgSource = New BitmapImage(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/Resources/Condiments.png"))
   })
       users.Add(New User() With {
       .ProductId = 103,
       .ProductName = "Confections",
       .OrderDate = New DateTime(1991, 9, 2),
       .ImgSource = New BitmapImage(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/Resources/Confections.png"))
   })
       users.Add(New User() With {
       .ProductId = 104,
       .ProductName = "Poultry",
       .OrderDate = New DateTime(1991, 10, 24),
       .ImgSource = New BitmapImage(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/Resources/Poultry.png"))
   })
   
       'Populate the grid
       grid.ItemsSource = users
   End Sub
   

   • C#

   public MainWindow()
   {
       InitializeComponent();
   
       //Create a list
       List<User> users = new List<User>();
   
       //Add items to the list
       users.Add(new User() { ProductId = 101, ProductName = "Beverages", OrderDate = new DateTime(1971, 7, 23),
           ImgSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/Resources/Beverage.png")) });
       users.Add(new User() { ProductId = 102, ProductName = "Condiments", OrderDate = new DateTime(1974, 1, 17),
           ImgSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/Resources/Condiments.png")) });
       users.Add(new User() { ProductId = 103, ProductName = "Confections", OrderDate = new DateTime(1991, 9, 2),
           ImgSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/Resources/Confections.png")) });
       users.Add(new User() { ProductId = 104, ProductName = "Poultry", OrderDate = new DateTime(1991, 10, 24),
           ImgSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"pack://application:,,,/Resources/Poultry.png")) });
   
       //Populate the grid
       grid.ItemsSource = users;             
   }
