How to create group footer

[TovaT]

Hi,
I created a rad grid with GroupByExperssion.
I want to add a footer for each group. (like the header but below - with the group field and other additional fields)
Is there any way to do this?

Hi t,

In order to show the group footers in RadGrid, try setting the ShowGroupFooter property of the MasterTableView. The you can try handling the ItemCreated/ItemDataBound event of the grid and there add the desired information.

All the best,

Thank you very much. it works perfect.
and I have another question - how can I hide the Expand column? I searched this article in the forums and tried all the solutions but nothing works.
I tried use the events of "RadGrid1_PreRender", "RadGrid1_ColumnCreated"  to make the column visible=false. I tried to get the column by unique name and by "TableView.ExpandCollapseColumn" and by the tableView.Columns(0) . I tried "Display" and "Visible" properties of the column.
I tried to change the css class - rgExpandCol
I tried to change the attributes in the aspx page in master table view - ExpandCollapseColumn-Dispaly="true" and change the css by ExpandCollapseColumn-itemStyle-cssClass.
but nothing happens. The expand column appears all the time. Only if I delete the GroupByExpression it disappears.

(I don't have hierarchy in the grid, there is only one table and I want to group the rows by two fields)

Hi,

Hinding the grid group expand column is a bit hard task. However you can handle the ColumnCreated and ItemCreated events as below and see if it works for you:

void grid_ColumnCreated(object sender, GridColumnCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Column.ColumnType == "GridGroupSplitterColumn")
    {
        e.Column.Visible = false;
    }
}
void grid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridGroupHeaderItem)
    {
        (e.Item as GridGroupHeaderItem).Controls[0].Visible = false;
    }
}
