Group Header Text

[Brett]

My Group Headers look like this:

	adType: Web Banner
	adType: Van
	adType: Map
	adType: Graphic Design
	adType: Experience Guide
	adType: Community Profile

 I would like to remove the "adType:" (fieldname) and leave the rest of the text.

Also, how do I enable expand on click for these header rows?

Hello bslaght,

You can easily customize the group text, as shown in the following article.
As for the other functionality, you may find it worthwhile to take a look at the following example.
I hope this information helps.

I probably get the same problem relate to it....

For example:

    <telerik:RadGrid ID="radGrid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None"
        OnNeedDataSource="radGrid_NeedDataSource" Skin="Vista">
        <MasterTableView>
            <GroupByExpressions>
                <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                    <SelectFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="groupName" />
                    </SelectFields>
                    <GroupByFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="groupName" />
                    </GroupByFields>
                </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
            </GroupByExpressions>
            <RowIndicatorColumn Visible="False">
                <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>
            </RowIndicatorColumn>
            <ExpandCollapseColumn Visible="False" Resizable="False">
                <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle>
            </ExpandCollapseColumn>
            <Columns>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="group" UniqueName="groups" DataField="groupName"
                    Display="False">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="name" UniqueName="column1" DataField="Name">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="thread" UniqueName="column2" DataField="threadCount">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="post" UniqueName="column3" DataField="postCount">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
                <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="last" UniqueName="column" DataField="lastPerson">
                </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            </Columns>
            <EditFormSettings>
                <PopUpSettings ScrollBars="None"></PopUpSettings>
            </EditFormSettings>
        </MasterTableView>
    </telerik:RadGrid>

I don't set "HeaderText" in the GridGroupByField.  However, the grid still displays "groupName: Asia" in the group headers

Is it possible to remove "groupName" (fieldname) without any coding?

I want my group headers look like this:
"Asia"


Thank you

Dear Sir,

I was going to ask for a support ticket.  However,  There is no item relate to RadGrid For asp.net ajax..(I guess there is a bug in support ticket center)

Any suggestion?

Hello Jason,

The behavior that you mentioned is part of the default behavior of the control. You can either set the FieldAlias to a more appropriate value, according to your requirements, like this:

.aspx

   <GroupByExpressions>
                <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
                    <SelectFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="CustomerID" FieldAlias="customFieldName" />
                    </SelectFields>
                    <GroupByFields>
                        <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="CustomerID"/>
                    </GroupByFields>
                </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
             </GroupByExpressions>

Or, alternatively, you can use custom code, if you would like to fieldAlias to be empty string.
I hope these are feasible options for you.
If you would like me to transfer this post into a support ticket, just let me know.
