[Solved] GroupByHeader takes on FieldName when HeaderText is empty String

[Jason Divis]

Hey Telerik, want to start out by stating that you guys have some great components here.

I'm using the RadGrid, and I want to change what is displayed in the grouping header. I see that if I put something in the HeaderText, that value, plus whatever I've put in the FormatString is concatenated together to giv ehte complete header.

What I would really like to do is use just the FormatString value itself for the header, but when I set gridGroupByField.HeaderText = "", I see that the gridGroupByField.FieldName is pre-pended to the grouping header, along with the FormatString value.

Trying to set the FieldName to "" results in an exception: Field definition is not valid. Field name cannot be null or empty.

Is there anyway to only use the FormatString in the Grouping Header?

Thanks again for the great controls. Countless hours saved not having to develop and maintain them.
