Hello!
We want to design RadGridView with nested ColumnGroups, as in example. But they are rendering not as expected (see unexpected.png). As expected in expected.png. How we can get it? Thanks for support
<telerik:RadGridView> <telerik:RadGridView.ColumnGroups > <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup Name="Level1group0" > <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup.ChildGroups> <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup Name="Level1group11"> <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup.ChildGroups> <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup Name="Level2group11"/> <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup Name="Level2group12"/> </telerik:GridViewColumnGroup.ChildGroups> </telerik:GridViewColumnGroup> <telerik:GridViewColumnGroup Name="Level1group12"/> </telerik:GridViewColumnGroup.ChildGroups> </telerik:GridViewColumnGroup> </telerik:RadGridView.ColumnGroups> <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ColumnGroupName="Level1group11" Width="200" Header="Column1"/> <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ColumnGroupName="Level1group12" Width="200" Header="Column2"/> <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ColumnGroupName="Level2group11" Width="200" Header="Column3"/> <telerik:GridViewDataColumn ColumnGroupName="Level2group12" Width="200" Header="Column4"/> </telerik:RadGridView.Columns></telerik:RadGridView>3 Answers, 1 is accepted

Hello Azamat,
With the current implementation of the column groups functionality, vertical merging of groups is not supported.
By design, the number of header rows depends on the max depth of nested groups. The rows are then realized starting from the bottom and each column generates as many as there are parent groups for its initial group (specified by the ColumnGroupName).
In this scenario, the Level2group11 and Level2group21 groups have two parent groups, 3 rows are generated. As the Level1Group11 and Level1Group12 column groups have only one parent group, only 2 rows will be realized. The remaining rows are then filled from the bottom-up with empty groups and thus - you get the result demonstrated in unexpected.jpg.
To achieve the desired result, you can define a dummy column group to compensate the missing level.
I hope you find this information helpful. If any further questions or concerns arise, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thanks for your answer, but it not complete solution. Yes, we need vertical merging.

Hi Azamat,
Thank you for the update.
As already stated by my colleague, the column groups mechanism is not designed to support vertical merging. This is the by-design implementation and I am afraid that we cannot commit ourselves to modifying it. Thus, the provided solution would be the closest one for your requirement.
