Expand groups programmatically when LoadGroupsOnDemand is enabled

If LoadGroupsOnDemand="false", I am able to programmatically expand the groups through the state. However, this is not possible when loading group data on demand.

Please allow programmatically expanding the groups when LoadGroupsOnDemand="true". This should go together with an event (OnStateChanged?) that will fire when LOD groups are expanded or collapsed.

Hi Tom,

I understand that our current product direction may not fully meet your expectations, and I realize this can lead to extra time and effort on your end.

Balancing priorities is an ongoing challenge for us, as we need to consider multiple factors at the same time - such as investing in new components versus improving existing ones, supporting new users while continuing to deliver value to existing customers, and deciding which areas of the product need attention most urgently.

Given that our resources are finite, we have to make trade-offs, even when there are several valid and popular requests. While this particular item has received good traction, we’ve recently been focused on other larger initiatives that required immediate attention.

As the product evolves further, our focus will increasingly shift toward strengthening existing components and improving overall stability.

Regards,

Now we are more than 1.5 year further and still this item is not planned while it has 20 votes and has been escalated! In the mean time many new components/functionalities have been added, but effort on feature improvements/bugs on existing components falls behind unfortunately. I am disappointed this takes so long to implement, at least give us some information why this has not been planned yet. Please try to focus more on making existing components better in stead of introducing new components/functionalities.

Hi Avery,

I admit that the feature request is a bit old. During the period, other items with higher priority have been fixed. The feature status is still "Unplanned". That means no specific time frame has been assigned yet. As soon as we move a task to the short-term backlog, the status will change to "Planned", and most likely a release month will appear as well.

In the meantime, if any alternative solutions appear, I will promptly share them here publicly, as a comment.

Regards,

This post is almost 2 years old with no response, but I would like to know the same thing. Was there a way to do what the poster is asking?
