[Solved] Columns names displayed in Grouping UI bar

[Maciej]

Hello,

the RadDataGrid has a "Grouping UI" bar showed on the left side of the grid. When I drag'n'drop columns to that bar, the grouping occurs. The problem is that the displayed name of the column showed in that bar is the same as the property name (PropertyName). It should be the same as the column name that is displayed in the grid (Header). See XAML below:

<Grid:RadDataGrid.Columns>
  <Grid:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="ColumnName1" Header="Friendly Display Name 1"/>
  <Grid:DataGridTextColumn PropertyName="ColumnName2" Header="Friendly Display Name 2"/>
</Grid:RadDataGrid.Columns>

The sample property name is "ColumnName1" and the associated header name is "Friendly Display Name 1". The latter is the properly displayed as a column header in a grid. But when I move that column (by drag'n'drop) to the "Grouping UI" bar, the name in that bar will be shown as "ColumnName1" instead of "Friendly Display Name 1". Is it possible to chagne that behavior? I don't want to show my C# code member names in the GUI.

Best regards,
Maciej Gliński

Hello Maciej,

Thank you for your interest.

Yes, I must admit that this is a bug and I have logged it in our bug-tracking system. For now, as a workaround, I can suggest that you listen for the collection changed event of the RadDataGrid.GroupDescriptors property and set the PropertyGroupDescriptor.DisplayContent of the added descriptor.

I would like to thank you for the valuable feedback therefore I have updated your Telerik points. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
