[Solved] GroupFooter not being displayed

[D Kasdorf]

I am trying to get aggregate totals to appear for each group that I have specified in my grid.  I get a grid footer total for each column but I don't get a group footer total.  The group footer does not appear at all for the specified groups.  I think I have set all required ShowGroupFooter and ShowGroupPanel settings.  I will attach the code for how I have setup my grid.  I was wondering if anyone can point out what I am doing wrong.

I am using version 2008.3.1105.20 of the Telerik.dll.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you for your input.  I was able to figure out my issue.

This issue was that the CSS was modified by our designers to make the text white in the group footers.  The footer for the entire grid which contains the aggregate number totals for the columns was made to have a dark background colour while the footer for the individual groups still had a white background.  This caused the text to be invisible on the screen which incorrectly led me to believe there was an issue with the group footer feature.

I modified the CSS to make the group footer background a darker colour which solved my issue.

Thanks for your response.
