Grid Client Group Header Template reference other field values in the row?

[Keith]

I am using the Core Grid with grouping.  I am grouping on a field called "ClassOrder", but would like to display the name of the field called "Class" in the template.  The desired order of display is not alphabetical, but driven by that "ClassOrder" column. 

What is the syntax to use in the group header template to refer to other fields in the row?

 

Thx!

Hi Keith,

The columnGroup header exposes the field name and the value of the dataItem by which the Grid is grouped. In addition if there are any aggregates applied to the data returned by the server, they are also available in the columnGroup header template. For more information I recommend the client-side API docs of the Grid's ColumnHeaderGroupTemplate.

One possible solution of the requirement at hand is to hard code the Name of the desired column:

// in the following example the Grid is grouped by OrderDate, however the GroupHeaderTemplate shows the name and data of the Freight column
columns.Bound(p => p.Freight);
columns.Bound(p => p.OrderDate).ClientGroupHeaderTemplate("Freight #=aggregates.Freight.count#");

I have applied the above to the attached sample project. Please let me know, if you have further questions. Thank you.

This works now. Using your sample I got things very close, then realized that to display a different field's value in the header (i.e., grouping by ClassOrder, but then displaying the text value of "Class", I needed to add "Class" to the aggregates set. To do so, I added a "max()" aggregate for Class, then in the header template included aggregates.Class.max() .
A little klunky, but it works beautifully.
