Lost GridViewGroupPanelItem functionality with template

[Kyle]

Hello,

 I finally got my group panel items to show the name of the column rather than the type of the object stored in the Header property.  A picture is attached.

 Unfortunately, now I lost the nice built in functionality that comes with it.

 Such as:

• The border around the column name
• The ability to sort the group by (asc/desc)
• The X that slides in from the right to remove the item from the group by.

Is there a way to get that back?  Or perhaps I should be doing it a different way?

Here is my XAML:

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewGroupPanelItem">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Column.Header.Name}" />
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

  Thanks in advance!

I wound up going the Blend route.

Hello,

The referred part in the RadGridView's template structure is called GridViewGroupPanelItem, it represents the grouped cell within RadGridView's GroupPanel. 

To know the latest recommendations on how to style Telerik UI for WPF you can read the common topics about Setting a Theme (Using Implicit Styles). You can also check the Editing Control Templates topic as a reference.

Alternatively, you can specify a DisplayContent for the ColumnGroupDescriptor. To find more information, please refer to the section on Grouping.
