How to put Checkbox/Content in Group Desciptions

[Casey]

I have checkboxes as a column in my Datagrid.

When I do a group by I need to add a CheckBox that would select the grouped checkboxes...

I can't get it to show up... I've added this code in teh datagrid.Grouped event handler

I've tried two different code blocks.

This one results in an empty GroupByBox (well it has the sort arrow and the close but no DisplayContent

TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();

 

 

 

string sGroup = dataGrid.GroupDescriptions[0].DisplayContent.ToString();

 

tb.Text = sGroup +

 

"AA";

 

dataGrid.GroupDescriptions[0].DisplayContent = tb;

 

This one keeps the ColumnName and adds the CheckBox.. but it adds the string representation of the checkbox... so it looks like this...

"Column A System.Window.Controls.Checkbox Content:IsChecked:False"

CheckBox cb =

new CheckBox();

 

 

 

string sGroup = dataGrid.GroupDescriptions[1].DisplayContent.ToString();

 

dataGrid.GroupDescriptions[1].DisplayContent = sGroup + cb; ;

Hello Casey,

Unfortunately in the current version of the RadGridView such customization of the cell in the GroupPanel is not easy. I already took care for this one to be scheduled for improvement by the team. In the next version of the RadGridView ( maybe for a service pack ) this will be available as an API to allow an easy access to the templates within the GroupPanel. Please if you find the lack of this feature a showstopper for your project , just let me know so I can push it with a higher priority . We have the practice of preparing an internal Friday builds which are available for download in the client.net accounts. So if needed I'll do my best for the fix to be available as soon as possible to you.
Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused .

Sincerely yours,

Hi,

Yes, with the latest improvements to RadGridView , it is now easier to achieve.

To customize the appearance of the cells in the group panel  you may use the GroupPanelItemStyle property.  You can set a control template, targeting the GroupPanelItem.

Let me know if you find any  specific troubles implementing this.

Kind regards,
