Accessing Child Record/Rows (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to add a child record/row to the Grid control, and how you can access the child record/rows.

Dim Record As GridRecord  
Dim ChildRecord As GridRecord  
Dim Item As GridRecordItem  

' This is the parent Record that will have a GridRecordItem  
' added to its collection of child GridRecordItems.  
Set Record = wndGridControl.Records.Add  
    Set Item = Record.AddItem("")  
        Item.HasCheckbox = True  
        Item.Checked = False  
    Record.AddItem "RE: Your Invoice"  
    Record.AddItem "John Smith"  
    Record.AddItem "19/06/2004"  
    Record.AddItem "18k"  

' This record will be added to the parent record's collection of child  
' GridRecordItem's. All child records will be displayed when the  
' expand/collapse button is pressed.  
Set ChildRecord = Record.Childs.Add()  
    Set Item = ChildRecord.AddItem("")  
        Item.HasCheckbox = True  
        Item.Checked = False  
    ChildRecord.AddItem "RE: Your Invoice"  
    ChildRecord.AddItem "Tom Green"  
    ChildRecord.AddItem "21/06/2004"  
    ChildRecord.AddItem "14k"  

' Add the record/row to the GridControl  
wndGridControl.Populate  

' This code is changing the caption of the 3rd item of the 1st child of the 1st record/row  
wndGridControl.Records(0).Childs(0).Item(2).Caption = "Child Record"  

' This is another way to access the same child record/rows.  
' This code is changing the caption of the 3rd item of the 1st child of the 1st record/row  
wndGridControl.Rows(0).Childs(0).Record.Item(2).Caption = "Child Record"
