Hello Zhu,


Can you please share a little bit more info about your particular case. Why do you actually need to perform grouping in your RadGridView when it is empty and also what do you expect to group in this case?



Kind regards,

Hello,

 You can define permanent GroupDescriptor for the grid and the grid will be grouped even if there are no items.

Hello zhu,

You can group with the mouse if you have columns. You will have columns if:

1. You have columns manually defined in XAML.

OR

2. You have bound the grid's ItemsSource to a collection (even if it is completely empty) and columns are auto-generated.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
