[Solved] Inserting a row between groups

[John]

I am trying to insert a row between multiple grouped rows. I can add a row just fine but it takes the style of a grouped row with one blank entry in it. What I am trying to achieve it have the gridview diplay regular rows and grouped rows at once.

Any help would be appreicated.

Hello John,

I am afraid RadGridView does not support such mode.  Generally it has two modes - grouped and plain and mixing both is not included in the design.

However if you share some more details on what are you trying to achieve , we may think about some visual hacks to provide it. ( e.g. we may change the template of the group row to add some visuals etc) .
A picture of the desired end result would be quite helpful here.

I have included a mock up of what I would like to see. I hope this helps.

Hi John,

Thanks for sending the image . That seems easy to implement - we can show the group footer , retemplate it  and achieve the exact appearance form the mock .

*This in case the message "Group Modified By ..."  is related to the group above it .

In case it is related to the group bellow it - then we can retemplate the group header to add a line with the message .

In case you think this approach will work for you just let me know which one you need  modified - the header or the footer and I will gather a small sample project for you .

Sincerely yours,

I was looking at the footer yesterday. I think that would be the way to go. Can you send a sample project with that template?

Hello John,

The project attached demonstrates how to retemplate the footer row of the group . This way you can style it to have the look you wish .

Perfect! This works great. My only issue now is that I cannot seem to bind the text property. 
Here is what I tried:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding TCategory.Status}" Foreground="Blue" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" />


 
Here is what the class looks like that I am binding the grid to:

public class Transaction
{




public string Description{get;set;}
public DateTime Date {get;set;}
public int CategoryId {get;set;}
public Category TCategory {get{return Category.GetCategory(CategoryId);}} //Within the Category class I have a "Status" property
public int Amount {get;set;}
}


 
The grid takes a list of Transactions and groups them by Category.Description. Now I need the footer text to read the Category.Status for the group.

Hello John,

I am attaching a modified version of my previous sample. It demonstrates how to bind the text in the footer to a property of the first item in the group.

Perfect! That did exactly what I needed it to. Thank you!
