Customize Group By labels in the group panel

[Mikhail Diatchenko]

Is it possible to customize Group By labels in the group panel?
I've looked and the following example (http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-grouping-formatting-group-header-row.html) and it only demonstrated how to customise group heading rows, not the labels in group panel.

Hi Mikhail Diatchenko,

Thank you for writing.

Unfortunately, there is not a straight and easy way to customize group labels in RadGridView. However, you can still achieve that through element hierarchy. Please consider the following sample code:

void radGridView1_GroupByChanged(object sender, GridViewCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    GroupPanelContainer container = this.radGridView1.TableElement.GridViewElement.GroupPanelElement.PanelContainer;
    if (container.Children.Count > 0)
    {
        TemplateGroupsElement groupsElement = (TemplateGroupsElement)container.Children[0];
        foreach (var groupElement in groupsElement.GetChildrenByType(typeof(GroupElement)))
        {
            if (((GroupFieldElement)groupElement.Children[0].Children[0]).Text == "Country")
            {
                ((GroupFieldElement)groupElement.Children[0].Children[0]).Text = "Custom Country Text";
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

All the best,
