Hi,
it's the first time for me that I use RadGrid with grouping.
From a competitors product I know a view where I can show aggregates in the header.
Without (a lot since my columns are dynamic) code behind I see no way to achieve this with RadGrid.
The idea is simple - let's say I have product sales and group them by employee (drag this to the grouping section).
Now (unluckily) I get the expanded view of my items.
But (with code behind) I can change this - as well as I can remove (code behind) grouped fields from the columns.
Let's stay on the default.
I get a footer with my aggregates (in my case about 20 columns - assume "product groups").
So this looks great by theory - in fact I have to scroll for (about) 200-300 rows to find the footer.
Typically you scroll to fast - and oversee it :)
Anyhow - the first important information is in the group footer - there my customer can see "this employee sold only 10 of... but 300 of..."
The problems:
a.) footer is hard to find
b.) footer is hidden when you collapse the grouping.
The best way would be some "Show aggregate in GroupHeader" property.
But I found the group header is a single TD spanning all the columns.
The other solution would be to keep the footer visible when the group is collapsed.
But I found no way to achieve this.
I hope you understand my (my customers) needs.
Grouped view - with Aggregates visible when the group is collapsed.

Manfred
