Hello Telerik,

 

I am trying to pre-group my Gridview on the start of the page (page load)

so i saw a very interesting documentation you have called "programmatic grouping", which has the following block of code i would need to use inside my XAML

<telerik:GroupDescriptor Member="Country"
SortDirection="Ascending"
DisplayContent="Country Group" />

 

My question is: where exactly is this GroupDescriptor? It doesn't seem to recognize the tag at all. Can you provide me a sample or something that uses it? I couldn't find one in your demos tool.

 

thank you.

Hello Jacob,

I'm attaching a sample project with the two approaches described in the article.

1) The code-behind approach can be placed in the constructor of your Window and be used similarly to:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
 
    GroupDescriptor descriptor = new GroupDescriptor();
    descriptor.Member = "Name";
    descriptor.SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending;
    this.radGridView.GroupDescriptors.Add(descriptor);
}

2) The same can be achieved using the following XAML code:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="radGridView">
    <telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
        <telerik:GroupDescriptor Member="Name" SortDirection="Ascending" />
    </telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors>
</telerik:RadGridView>

I hope you find this helpful.

This works! But I could swear the telerik:RadGridView.GroupDescriptors tag was not being recognizing before.

anyhow, thank you very much. issue solved!

Hello again,

For now I just need to change the header of my group on fly

I see it comes after the field's name and as you can see in the attached picture, the header is not very user friendly

How can I change it in the codebehind or viewmodel?

 

Here is the code I use to create the groupdescriptor

private void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    systemSettingsViewModel = this.DataContext as SystemSettingsViewModel;
    systemSettingsViewModel?.GetAllSystemSettingsDTOs();
    GroupDescriptor descriptor = new GroupDescriptor();
 
    // clear all filters and groupings from an earlier visit!
    CustGridview.ClearFiltersSortingGrouping();
    descriptor.Member = "SettingGroupTranslated";
    descriptor.MemberType = typeof(string);
    descriptor.SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending;
    CustGridview.GroupDescriptors.Add(descriptor);
 
}

Hello Jacob,

You can achieve this by setting the DisplayContent property of the GroupDescriptor as demonstrated in our Programmatic Grouping article:

descriptor.DisplayContent = "Custom Header";

Please let me know if this works for you.
