Multiple Heading Rows

[Eduan Marais]

Hi.

I would like to have more than 1 row as a heading to my grid.
I would like to have a heading that is applicable to a couple of columns, with each underlying column still having its own heading.

It should be simular to the formatting that you can do in excel, when you merge a couple of columns into 1 column, and still have columns underneath it, example
------------------------------------
|            Data Group             |
------------------------------------
|Column1|Column2|Column3|
------------------------------------

I have a project where I need to add columns to my radgrid in code, so please help with a WPF C# example.

Thanks.

HI.

Thank you, I will look into it.
I was hoping to something where everyting is done in code. In my situation, I do not know how many columns or column groupings will be needed, so I can not hard code it in xaml. I am generating logsheets for plant environments, to each plant is different. The details on how many columns and column groups is passed to me during runtime, so I need to build these headings dynamically, based on the information given to me.

Regards

Hello Eduan Marais,

 You can create this behavior in code like so:

var behaviour = new ColumnGroupsBehavior
{
    CommonHeaders = new ObservableCollection<CommonHeader>
    {
        new CommonHeader { StartColumnIndex = 0, Caption = "Vehicle info", ColumnSpan = 2 },
        new CommonHeader { StartColumnIndex = 2, Caption = "Dimensions (mm)", ColumnSpan = 3 },
        new CommonHeader { StartColumnIndex = 5, Caption = "Total Price", ColumnSpan = 1 }
    }
};
behaviour.Attach(this.RadGridView1);

You can modify the ColumnHeaders collection as you like.
