Group Column Caption

[Domenico]

Hello, how can I change the column caption when I use a column for grouping data? I don't want to see the field name like NameField:Data, but just the data.

Thanks.

Hi Domenico,

Thnak you for this question.

You can spcify group header formatting through code when adding an expression to the GroupByExpressions collection of the MasterGridViewTemplate. Consider the code snippet below:

this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.GroupByExpressions.Add("Value format '{1}' GroupBy Value");
this.radGridView1.UpdateGroupPanel();

In the sample above the {0} parameter of the formatting is the name of the column that is grouped. The {1} parameter is the value.

I hope this helps.

What event I've to manage to execute this code?

[Jack]

Hi Domenico,

This code should be executed when you are grouping the RadGridView programmatically. Currently, there is no suitable event to process when the user groups through the user interface. We will add such functionality in some of our future releases.

Let me know, if I can help you further.

I want the user decide the column grouping, but I don't want to see the field name inside cell. What can I do?

[Jack]

Hi Domenico,

Currently, you can customize the group header text only when the grouping is set through code. You can't hide the field name when the user performs a grouping operation using the user interface.

If you have other questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Is there a better way to do this with the latest Telerik releases? I ask because the post is pretty old. I'm trying to do the same thing and making event handlers for every grid is a bit messy.
