I am currently evaluating ElegantGrid for use in one of my client’s projects.

I have a bound data grid loaded and grouped as desired, but so far I have been unable to figure out how to expand and collapse all groups through code. I have the groups by default collapsed, but I want to have buttons on the form which will expand and collapse all for the user.

Is this possible, and if so how?

In fact, there is no such API in the bound grid that allows you to expand and collapse grouped rows. In other words, a group row , which has a plus or minus sign, is not bound to some row in the data source and you cannot edit its label and expand or collapse the grouped rows below. In fact, a group row is an auxiliary visual element that makes working with tabular data more convenient and when the grid is grouped by a column, it is actually sorted.

If you need to control all the grid elements manually, the unbound grid control can be a good choice. This would allow you to work with rows and cells directly.
