Show Summary Row in Group Header

[mark thompson]

Hi,
my users have asked for the information I put in a summary row to be in the group header. i.e. they want to look at a grid which has column names and group headers and only see the summary information.
so they will only exand a group if they are interested in drilling down.
I have added a summary row at the top, which helps, but they still have to open a group to see them. If the grid is collapsed they only see the group by names.

thanks
mark

Hi mark thompson,

Thank you for writing.

RadGridView supports summaries in the group header row out-of the box. You can add them by using SummaryRowGroupHeaders collection. Please, consider the following code as example:
 

GridViewSummaryItem summary = new GridViewSummaryItem("Account", "Positions List: {0}", GridAggregateFunction.Count);
this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.SummaryRowGroupHeaders.Add(new GridViewSummaryRowItem(new GridViewSummaryItem[] { summary }));

Let me know if you have any additional question.

I am interested in achieving the same behavior as the original post.

The code sample worked to provide the aggregates in a group summary row. But the desired behavior of having the summary row remain visible when the group is collapsed was not achieved. Is it possible???

Cheers,

Clyde.

Hi Clyde,

Since the summary row element is still a child row in the parent row collection, there is no way to collapse all children except the summary row. That is why we provide the SummaryRowGroupHeaders collection, which allows including a required summary info into the parent row.
