[Solved] Group column name other than the column name

[Andreas]

Hello Telerik team,

I set the "HeaderText" of a GridViewDataColumn to a custom text (other than the binding property):

///
/// Initialize the RadGridView...
///
GridViewDataColumn gridCol = new GridViewDataColumn();
gridCol.IsVisible = true;
gridCol.HeaderText = "Name";
gridCol.DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Property1");
gridCol.IsGroupable = true;
gridCol.IsSortable = true;
this.gridViewResults.Columns.Add(gridCol);

"gridViewResults" is a RadGridView instance and is configured as follows in the xaml-file:

 <telerikGrid:RadGridView x:Name="gridViewResults"
    MinHeight="240"
    MaxHeight="240"
    AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    ScrollMode="RealTime"
    HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
    IsReadOnly="True"
    Margin="3,3,3,0"
    BorderBrush="LightBlue"
    BorderThickness="1"
    ShowGroupPanel="True"
    ShowColumnHeaders="True"
    ColumnsWidthMode="Auto"
    ></telerikGrid:RadGridView>

For example if I group the column with HeaderText "Name" the group-box shows "Property1" instead of the HeaderText "Name". The group-box takes the property name instead of the HeaderText. The HeaderText looks fine.

Is this a bug or am I missing something to tell the group-box to take the HeaderText instead of the bound property name?

Thank you.

Greetings,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

This is a known bug in the RadGridView control, and it is already fixed.
It will be available with our next release, scheduled for the end of February.
If this is a show stopper for you, please let me know and I'll try to provide you with an unofficial build.

Best wishes,

Hello Nedyalko,

I would appreciate an internal build, because we want to release a part of the application this month.
We bought the controls about 2 days ago.
I was wondering if the new "Latest Internal Builds" already works? - I only get an empty dropdown list.

Greetings,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I'm attaching the latest stable binaries only for the RadGridView for Silverlight. Hence, if you use other controls in your application they will not work, but later today you will be able to download the new version from "Latest Internal Builds".
