[Solved] Total Column ColSpan in Grid Footer

[David]

Hi,

On all my RadGridViews I put the total records in the bottom (using AggregateFunctions - see below). This works fine unless the column it is in has a small width (see attached screenshot), then it truncates the value. The problem is even worse on complex grids with virtualization and the value does not update even when you resize the column containing the total (it does not repaint it).

So what I would like to do is put a Colspan=2 on the TotalRow: grid footer so it is not bound to a particular column and is more of a row - is this possible?

              <telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn.AggregateFunctions>
                        <telerik:CountFunction
                            Caption="Rows:" />
                    </telerikGrid:GridViewDataColumn.AggregateFunctions>

Thanks
Rodney

Hello Rodney,

I wouldn't advise you to make any radical modifications to GridViewFooterRow/Cell templates, to prevent any visualization issues in the future. If such an approach satisfies you, I would propose extending first GridViewFooterCell's width, in order to make it spacious enough to host you aggregate function's results.  Apparently  it will affect its column's width. You may achieve it at runtime like this:

this.ChildrenOfType<GridViewFooterCell>().First().Width = desiredWidth;
