WPF nested datagrids. Multiple levels

Question

I'm trying to create table editor for multi-level table data using standard wpf datagrid. Is it possible to create nested structure something like this?

Syncfusion datagrid

With standard row details nested grids looks ugly, because row details must have fixed height (so i will get multiple scrolls)

My demo application

You might go at this with a treeview and templates.

Each DataGrid can have something called a RowDetailsTemplate. The template can have anything you want in it, including another DataGrid. If that DataGrid uses the same RowDetailsTemplate, you can have a DataGrid nested inside a DataGrid ad-infinitum.

Check out this article for an example of using the RowDetailsTemplate. You just need to modify the XAML there to use your own template.

but what about multiple scroll bars? is it possible to stretch rowdetails height to fit content height?

@cmd I've never tried that. I suppose you could bind the Height of the DataGrid in the RowDetailsTemplate to a property of the row in it. You'd have to recursively loop through all of the objects in that nested object which populates the nested DataGrid in order to figure out the height.
