Remarks
You can call this method to programmatically expand 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 expand 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 ExpandButton_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.ExpandRowGroup(group, True)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
' Could not expand group.
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
private void ExpandButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PagedCollectionView pcv = dataGrid1.ItemsSource as PagedCollectionView;
try
{
foreach (CollectionViewGroup group in pcv.Groups)
{
dataGrid1.ExpandRowGroup(group, true);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Could not expand group.
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
