DataGrid.CollapseRowGroup Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Collapses data grid row groups.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows.Controls.Data (in System.Windows.Controls.Data.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub CollapseRowGroup ( _
    collectionViewGroup As CollectionViewGroup, _
    collapseAllSubgroups As Boolean _
)

public void CollapseRowGroup(
    CollectionViewGroup collectionViewGroup,
    bool collapseAllSubgroups
)

Parameters

  • collapseAllSubgroups
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to collapse all subgroups of the row group; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can call this method to programmatically collapse row groups in a DataGrid control that contains grouped data. You can use the GetGroupFromItem method to get the particular group that a specified item belongs to. Alternatively, you can iterate through the Groups collection to expand all row groups.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to collapse all row groups in a DataGrid control. This example is part of a larger example available in the How to: Group, Sort, and Filter Data in the DataGrid Control topic.

Private Sub CollapseButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim pcv As PagedCollectionView = Me.dataGrid1.ItemsSource
    Try
        For Each group As CollectionViewGroup In pcv.Groups
            dataGrid1.ScrollIntoView(group, Nothing)
            dataGrid1.CollapseRowGroup(group, True)
        Next
    Catch ex As Exception
        ' Could not collapse group.
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

private void CollapseButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    PagedCollectionView pcv = dataGrid1.ItemsSource as PagedCollectionView;
    try
    {
        foreach (CollectionViewGroup group in pcv.Groups)
        {
            dataGrid1.ScrollIntoView(group, null);
            dataGrid1.CollapseRowGroup(group, true);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // Could not collapse group.
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    }
}
