Hello Nicky,

Thank you for this question.

Currently, the RadGridView does not support column merging. This is a useful feature and we have it in our plans. We can't give you a final date when it will be implemented, but when more people request the same feature we will give it a higher priority.

The columns separator depends on the selected theme and can be disabled through the Visual Style Builder. To disable it completely set the GridBorderWidth property of GridTableElement to 0 and GridCellElement.BorderWidth to 0.

We will be glad to help you with any other questions.

Sincerely yours,
Jack

Hi Nicky,

There are two different ways to access the GridTableElement:

1. Through Visual Style Builder when creating or modifying a theme:
1. Open the Visual Style Builder
2. Choose File -> Load Control -> Telerik.WinControls.UI -> RadGridView from menu
3. Select the GridTableElement element in the "Control Structure" pane
4. Set the GridBorderWidth property to 0 in "Expert Mode" pane
5. Select some column header by clicking mouse left button over it
6. Select the "Initial State" tab
7. Set the BorderWidth property to 0
8. Give your theme some name and save the changes
2. Through code at runtime. Refer to this code snippet below:

GridTableElement table = (GridTableElement)this.radGridView1.GridElement;
table.GridBorderWidth = 0;

Let us know whether this was helpful. We will be glad to help you further.

Hello Nicky,

Thank you for writing.

You don't need to add a reference to the Visual Style Builder dll. You can load the VSB through the Smart Tag > Open Theme Builder. Another way to load the VSB is through the Start menu > All Programs >Telerik > Visual Style Builder.
