Hide the expand/collapse icon in parent row with no record in child grid in Angular Grid component

21 Dec 2022 / 3 minutes to read

By default, the expand/collapse icon will be visible even if the child grid is empty.

You can use rowDataBound event to hide the icon when there are no records in child grid.

To hide the expand/collapse icon in parent row when no records in child grid, follow the given steps:

Step 1:

Create CSS class with custom style to override the default style of Grid.

    .e-row[aria-selected="true"] .e-customizedExpandcell {
        background-color: #e0e0e0;
    }

    .e-grid.e-gridhover tr[role='row']:hover {
        background-color: #eee;
    }

Step 2:

Add the CSS class to the Grid in the rowDataBound event handler of Grid.

    public rowDataBound(args:any){
        let filter:string = args.data.EmployeeID;
        let childrecord: any = new DataManager(this.Grid.childGrid.dataSource).executeLocal(new Query().where('EmployeeID', 'equal', parseInt(filter), true));
        if(childrecord.length == 0) {
            //here hide which parent row has no child records
            args.row.querySelector('td').innerHTML=' ';
            args.row.querySelector('td').className = 'e-customizedExpandcell';
        }
    }

In the below demo, the expand/collapse icon in the row with EmployeeID as 1 is hidden as it does not have record in child Grid.
