Programmatic grouping missing aggregate functions

[Geoff Smith]

Hi,

I have some functionality that sets up the grouping in a grid with some code. I create a GroupDescriptor and add it to the grid's GroupDescriptors. However, when I group this way, rather than by dragging a header into the group panel, the aggregate functions defined in my GridViewDataColumns are not applied. 

I'm guessing that I have to manually add all these aggregate functions to my group descriptor. However, I wanted to check if there is an easier way.

Thanks!

Hello Geoff Smith,

Indeed when grouping programmatically , you will need to take care to add the aggregates.

For convenience when the user groups by dragging , aggregates are automatically set.
When you do it programmatically - for more flexibility the choice is yours - to add or not aggregate functions.

So in your case the standard approach is - when you add a GroupDescriptor to populate its aggregate functions.

Kind regards,

Sounds good - thanks for the confirmation :)
