Use GridViewGroupPanel outside the Grid

[Scott]

I would like to place the GridViewGroupPanel control that is used inside the grid in another portion of my UserControl. I have put a GridViewGroupPanel on my page but I don't know if it is possible to bind or otherwise link this GridViewGroupPanel to my grid.

Is this possible or should I look at some other approach?

I tried the following and it is close. When I drag a column to the internal GridViewGroupPanel, the external group panel will show the column added but it is acting like it is read only.

<

telerik:GridViewGroupPanel 
    ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=GridView,Path=GroupDescriptors,Mode=TwoWay}"
 />

Hi,

 I'm afraid that the grid group panel is tightly coupled with RadGridView. You cannot use it separately. 

All the best,

Thanks Vlad for the reply.
So if I cannot use the GridViewGroupPanel would it be possible to drag column headers to another control and setup a group descriptor myself? Do you have an example of doing this?

Hi,

 I'm not sure what is exactly your scenario however I can suggest you to use our Drag & Drop framework if you want to extend the built-in Drag & Drop capabilities of our components. Please refer to our demos and documentation for more info.
