Does anyone know how to get rid of the box around the children in a hierarchy? There seems to be default size that is set regardless of how many children there are. I have autoresize checked to true. It makes the child records take up more room than they should and the box around the children is annoying.

Hello Susan,
Thank you for this question.
The border is set through the theme and can be disabled when processing the ViewCellFormatting event. Take a look at this sample code:
You can change the child view height when processing the same event. Use this code:

That actually didn't work. The border around the children group is still there. The children size is fine. There is just a border around the whole children area that we would like to get rid of.

I think that I am trying to do something simular to this.
I have my RadGridView setup with a childGridViewTemplate. I want to remove the blank space between the bottom of the ChildGridView and the top of the next parent row.
When i enter the line

End If
I get the error GridDetailViewCellElement is a type and connot be used as an expression.
Is there something else that I should be doing here in my ViewCellFormatting event?

Hi Susan,
What I think you have to do:
| private void rgvAdserver_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e) | |
| { | |
| if (!(e.CellElement is GridDetailViewCellElement)) return; | |
| var cell = e.CellElement as GridDetailViewCellElement; | |
| if (cell == null) return; | |
| cell.ChildTableElement.DrawBorder = false; | |
| cell.ChildTableElement.TableBodyElement.DrawBorder = false; | |
| cell.ChildTableElement.Padding.All = 0; //removes the box around the childs | |
| } |
But I'm getting an error on line 8. Saying :
"Cannot modify the return value of 'Telerik.WinControls.RadElement.Padding' because it is not a variable"
But it is a getter, setter. So I'm not sure why I get this error.

Okay found a work around for the padding box around the children.
When you make a new theme with the theme builder. You can remove those padding borders easily here.
Once you've saved your theme (.xml), you add a radThemeManager to you form. In this manager you get your just created theme.
Now you need to apply it to your grid. just select the little arrow at the topborder of the gridview. There you can select at "theme name" your created theme.

Hi gerbrand,
Thank you for sharing your solution. Yes, you can use the Visual Style Builder to change easily the visual appearance of our controls.
Regarding the Padding property: It is a value type and you can't change its properties this way. You should create a new Padding, set its properties and then assign the new Padding object. Here is a sample:
Craig, use the code below to remove the spacing programmatically:
Should you have further questions, feel free to write us.

Dear Jack "in the box",
This code did not work... I put this code in and i still see the space between the bottom of the ChildGridView and the next row of the parent grid view.
Any other suggestions?

Hello,
I'm actually still having trouble with this, despite the info on this thread and my research around the site. I would like to programmatically get rid of the padding and border around the embedded hierarchical child grids. I've tried all of the code listed in this section and none of it is working for me.
Also, a related issue I'm having is with the Plus signs for expanding rows. I've seen many ASP.NET postings where its explained how to get rid of this image if there are no children for a particular row, but I haven't seen the equivalent for C#. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks!
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy Murtishaw,
I would like to receive more information about the issues that you have with the Padding of the child views. The code that my colleague Julian suggested removes the padding, so I cannot understand what is the exact look that you want to achieve. Please open a new support ticket and send me screenshots with the problem areas highlighted and details about the desired look.
As to your second question, I suppose the you mean WinForms technology with a code snippet in C#. If so, please refer to the following Knowledge Base article: Hide expand/collapse image in hierarchical RadGridView.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
All the best,

Hello,
This is the same for me : I would like to programmatically get rid of the padding and border around the embedded hierarchical child grids. I've tried all the solutions proposed in this thread, I've tried a lot of other things, but I Didn't manage to do that.
Is there news about this issue ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi olivier,
The solution provided in this forum should do the job. Basically you should set the Padding to 0 and disable the border by setting DrawBorder property to false.
If the issue continues to appear, please specify which is your version of RadControls for WinForms and send us your application in a support ticket and we will try to locate the issue.

I too would like to know how this was resolved. It looks to me that the responses from Telerik were trying to show how to set the border style and width for a cell within the child grid, but the question was specifically regarding the border around the entire child grid itself.
I'm spending an inordinate amount of time trying to get this simple styling issue to work, but I'd love to see some working code for the last issue.

This solution worked for me. Perhaps the reason this code is not working for some others is it is missing the Handles clause in the Sub decalaration:
Private Sub radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles radGridView1.ViewCellFormatting

Hello, John,
I am glad that the provided solution in this forum thread was useful for your case. Note that the provided code snippet in the reply from 17-Apr-2009 has a subscription to the ViewCellFormatting event. Hence, the "Handles" part in VB.NET is necessary only in case you don't have a subscription explicitly.
If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
