is it possible to Group data without enabling the feature?

[Alexandre Jobin]

hi!

i would like to group data in my grid but without letting the user choose the column and without the row header for the drag & drop. Is it possible to do that?

Hi Alexandre,

Yes, this is possible. Just define column(s) to group by and use Visible(false):

.Groupable(settings => settings.Groups(groups => groups.Add(o => o.GroupByColumn)).Visible(false))

great! thank you.

just to add a little something, if you want to deal with group manually with javascript, heres the code:

<javascript>
var grid = $("#myGrid").data("tGrid");

// remove any active groups
grid.groups = [];

// group with this column
grid.group("Column title");
</javascript>
