How to achieve this feature in datagrid?

here a saw a feature like if Enter is pressed on a element in a row like structure it presents another table again if enter is pressed again another Datagrid like table comes and If Esc is pressed then it gets back to parent where you pressed Enter button.

So how it is done in C# WPF. I know only datagrid is there any thing like datagrid alternatives or with datagrid it can be achieved!

Solution

  • In Tally its called report drilling

    When you select Item and press Enter, it will redirect to another report

    For Ex: In Balance Sheet , If you click enter on particular ledger , it will be redirected to Ledger Monthly report Page, if you select particular month then redirected to Ledger Vouchers

    In Tally all these are reports which can be accessed directly - Balance Sheet, ledger monthly summary, Ledger Vouchers

    By clicking on Item in Main Report A parameter is send to Child Report then filter is applied and redirected to child report

    In WPF

    If you want the same mechanism, then first you need to create every report individually, report should filter based on arguments provided

    Then you can add onclick event handler and call child reports on selection or add key handlers to do this on pressing enter
