Nested Column Groups in RadGridView WPF

[Steven]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to achieve column grouping similar to http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-viewdefinitions-column-groups-view.html in WPF?

I have tried adding to the ChildGroups of the column groups but this doesn't seem to work the same way as the example in the above link.

The problem that I am seeing is that for column groups that do not have nested groups there appears to be an extra row added above each of these (to fill the space for those groups that do have children) which doesn't pick up my style and pushes the content of these groups down so not all of it is visible. What I would like to happen is that for the column groups that contain no nested groups is that the content of these cells fills the space without the extra row above it like the "Customer Contact" group in the winforms example in the link.

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven,

 It turns out that this functionality is not available with RadGridView for WPF/Silverlight. Please note that, adding this functionality to RadGridView is one of the things that we will consider for implementation in the near future.

Hi Steven,

I stumbled upon your post as I need to do something similar.

Scroll to the bottom of this page

Good luck!!

Hi Ankur,

Thanks but that doesn't work in the way I would like.

In  http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-viewdefinitions-column-groups-view.html the there is two levels on the 'Customer Contact' side and three levels on the 'Details' side. The top level header on the 'Customer Contact' side also takes up the same vertical spaces as the top two levels on the 'Details' side.

When I try the suggestion from the link you provide, i.e.

<telerik:RadGridView.ColumnGroups>
    <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup  Name="Data" Header="Data">
        <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup  Name="VehicleInfo" Header="Vehicle info" />
        <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup  Name="Dimensions" Header="Dimensions" />
    </telerik:GridViewColumnGroup>
</telerik:RadGridView.ColumnGroups>

what happens is that there are 3 levels on the 'Customer Contact' side with the top level being empty and 'Customer Contact' going to the same level as 'Address' and 'Contact' from the 'Details' side which isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

Steven

hmm.... you are right. Doesnt look possible usinf this approach. I will let you know if I find any workaround.

I have same levels in each group so will work for me though :)

Hi Łukasz,

Nested Column Groups are already supported. You can find more details in the following article and example. The same example is also available with the WPF Demos.
