[Solved] Hide Group Panel when no records

[Matt]

Greetings,

My RadGrid's MasterTableView is set for ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="False".  Is there a similar setting for the Group Panel (Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column) above the header?

Your assistance is appreciated!

Hi Matt,

There is no direct property to set this, you can check the count in the PreRender event and set ShowGroupPanel property to true/false when needed.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count == 0)
  {
    RadGrid1.ShowGroupPanel = false;
  }
  else
  {
    RadGrid1.ShowGroupPanel = true;
  }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Thank you Princy.

It seems strange that the Group Panel would show if I am trying to hide the header when no records.  Especially when the default message is referencing "column headers" which are hidden by the ShowHeadersWhenNoRecords="false".  I will mark this as the answer, but I wish this could go to your enhancement list.
