Hi there, can someone please help me with a problem I can't work out how to get round. I am slowly getting to speed with the radgrid, and am using some grouping now. I want to nto allow the grouping to be expanded and collapsed, and only display the FieldValue in the GroupHeader, and no text and colon.

I tried

ExpandCollapseColumn-Display

="false"

in my MasterTable but this does not seem to help. I have included my code and a screenshot.

    
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridDevelopmentNeeds" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataSourceID="srcDevelopmentNeeds" EnableViewState="true" OnItemCommand="RadGridDevelopmentNeeds_ItemCommand">  
        
                                    <MasterTableView GroupHeaderItemStyle-BackColor="Pink" ExpandCollapseColumn-Display="false" > 
        
                                        <GroupByExpressions> 
        
                                            <telerik:GridGroupByExpression> 
        
                                                <GroupByFields> 
        
                                                    <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="Status" SortOrder="Ascending"/>  
        
                                                </GroupByFields> 
        
                                                <SelectFields> 
        
                                                    <telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="Status" HeaderText=" "/>  
        
                                                </SelectFields> 
        
                                            </telerik:GridGroupByExpression> 
        
                                        </GroupByExpressions> 
        
                                        <Columns> 
        
                                            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Rank">  
        
                                                <ItemStyle VerticalAlign="Top" HorizontalAlign="Left" Font-Bold="true"/>  
        
                                                <ItemTemplate><%# Eval("Rank")%>.</ItemTemplate> 
        
                                            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 
        
                                            <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="DNName">  
        
                                                <ItemStyle CssClass="dnindex"/>  
        
                                                <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                                    <asp:LinkButton ID="lbSelectDevelopmentNeed" runat="server" CommandName="LoadDevelopmentNeed" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("GUID") %>' CssClass="dnindex"><%#Eval("Name")%></asp:LinkButton> 
        
                                                </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn> 
        
                                        </Columns> 
        
                                    </MasterTableView> 
        
                                </telerik:RadGrid>

Hello Temp,

Check out the link given below, which explains how to prevent collapsing of groups in the grid by disabling the GridGroupSplitterColumn.
Preventing groups expansion by hiding the expand/collapse images

Also try removing the HeaderValueSeperator as shown in the code snipppet below.
ASPX:

<SelectFields>

<telerik:GridGroupByField FieldName="Status" HeaderValueSeparator="" />

</SelectFields>

Thanks
Princy.

Hi Princy thanks very much for helping me. Unfortunately I did these things in this code and it has made not a single bit of difference. I still get the column with the button.

Is there a working example I can look at on the demo site?

Another thing I guess I could try is manually setting the images, and making them width="0" height="0" ?

Seems a really basic thing to do here, I am really suprised you can't just turn this column off with a simple display="true/false" type option. The only other option I have is to make several grids for each status, which seems overkill.
