Hide Group Header

[MiddleTommy]

I want to know if there is a way to hide the group header when the group is expanded? Actually hide the whole group panel. Just show the rows in the group with the group footer.

Hi TWT,

You can hide the group panel but setting the GroupPanelVisibility property of the grid to Collapsed. When you do that, however, you will loose the ability to group and ungroup via the UI and you will need to define your groups in XAML or code.

As for the group header - you will need to edit the template of the group row and hide the elements which you do not want to see. Also keep in mind that you will need to be extra careful when dealing with the Toggle button on the left as you can easily loose the ability to expand and collapse groups.

Let me know if you need any help with those two tasks.

All the best,

Hi,

Is it possible to post the way of hiding the group via hiding elements? I'm trying to accomplish this but can't seem to hide it properly.

Thanks!

You really need expression blend and start to edit the group templates and hide/unhide things untill you get it right. (thats what I did)
I wish they made it that easy to edit templates in VS 2010

Hello Tony,

Can you please share with us more info about which elements you need to hide from GridViewGroupRow? If you want to predefine its behavior you need to edit the template of GridViewGroupRow and remove the desired elements. You can find more info on this matter here.

I will be glad If I can assist you further.

Hi Tommy,

 
Thank you for the provided image. The parts circled in red form the GridViewGroupRow.
Do you really need to hide the whole GridViewGroupRow or maybe I am missing something? 
You can create a simple implicit style targeted at GridViewGroupRow, set its Visibility property to Collapsed, however you will get a blank space when you try to group the RadGridView.

I don't want to allow grouping and therefore want to hide the grouping header, but I don't see the GroupPanelVisibility property of the RadGridViewControl. Am I missing something?

Nevermind, found the ShowGroupPanel property.
