Displaying Group name in Column GroupFooter

[Lakshmanarajan]

Hi Telerik Team,

I want to show the group name in the Column Group footer. The scenario goes like this, I have grouped using two columns namely Country and State.

In the State Column footer, which is a inner group, I want to show the State name of that group.
The outer group is Country, I want to show the outer group's name in the footer of State column.

Please refer the attached image for better understanding.

Thanks in advance,
Lakshman

And I had seen this link, which solves only if there is only one level of grouping.

But in my case I needed for the two levels of grouping.

Hello Lakshman,

In order to achieve your goal, you can predefine the GroupFooterTemplate like so:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.GroupFooterTemplate>
                         <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Group.Key,RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,AncestorType=telerik:GridViewGroupFooterRow}}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.GroupFooterTemplate>     </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

For your convenience, I have prepared a sample project that meets your requirements. Please find it attached.
