Hi
I would like to share my column definitions among several different rad grids. I was thinking about using a skin file within the website theme to do this but then I remembered that i want some of the grids to be grouped and not others.
How could i achieve this? These were my thoughts
1) Add the column and grouping settings to the skin and then remove the grouping definitions programatically from the grid that doesnt need grouping. I don't know if this is possible because i know you can't override properties set in the skin file of a theme
2) define the column definitions in the skin file and add the groupings programmatically to the grids that need to be grouped
3) perhaps i can define the column definitions in the skin file and add the groupings declaratively to the grids that need to be grouped. Not much between 2 and 3 really. Is 3 even possible?
This is all i could think of. I was hoping there might be something better than this!
many thanks
