AggregateFunction Caption in footer and group bar

[Geoff Smith]

Is there a straightforward way of hiding the caption of an aggregate function in the footer while showing it in the group header? I'm looking into the footer template now to see how its put together, but was wondering if I'm missing a simple trick...

Thanks!

Hi Geoff Smith,

You can use the properties of the grid ShowColumnFooters and ShowGroupFooters and set them to True/False depending on your requirements.

Apologies, I don't think my question was very clear. I have a GridViewDataColumn with a AggregateFunctions set like:

<SumFunction Caption="Total: " ResultFormatString="{}{0:N0}"/>

Now that Caption will show in both the group footer and the group row. What I'm trying to achieve is to only show "Total:" in the group row. It is redundent to show it in the group footer because we already know what it is from the column header...

Hi Geoff Smith,

What you can do in this case is to predefine the GroupFooterTemplate of the column showing the Aggregate Results in the footer. So, for example its definition may be as follows:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Number}">

    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.AggregateFunctions>

        <telerik:SumFunction Caption="Sum: " />

    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.AggregateFunctions>

                      

        <telerik:GridViewColumn.GroupFooterTemplate>

        <DataTemplate>

            <telerik:AggregateResultsList ItemsSource="{Binding}">

            <telerik:AggregateResultsList.ItemTemplate>

              <DataTemplate>

                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding FormattedValue}" />

                </DataTemplate>

            </telerik:AggregateResultsList.ItemTemplate>

            </telerik:AggregateResultsList>

        </DataTemplate>        
     </telerik:GridViewColumn.GroupFooterTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

You may find an additional example for this approach in our demos.
