Wrong GroupHeaderTemplate

[Thomas]

Seems that GroupHeaderTemplate doesn't use the Converter set in the GroupDescription?
How can I make a template that does?

Hello,

May I ask you to share a bit more information on what the final goal you would like to achieve is? How have you currently defined the converter and what result do you expect?

I have a dataset where I wan't to group by a column that consists of numbers, but I want to show there real value with the help of a converter.

My code is like this:
CollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(myGridView.ItemsSource) as CollectionView;
view.GroupDescriptions.Add(new PropertyGroupDescription("EscalationState", new Converters.EnumeratorConverter("EscalationState")));
myGridView.ItemsSource = view;

My "EnumeratorConverter" converts the numbers to texts (ie "1" is converter to "Escalated").

Problem is that it seems that the default GroupHeaderTemplate just shows the numbers regardless of the result from my converter.
(It shows "1" instead of "Escalated")

Hi,

You can check the "Group By Formatted Value" WPF Demo on how the converter should be respected. 
If this does not work for you, I can suggest you to check the Modify the Group Row article on how to configure your own custom GroupHeaderTemplate.

Unfortunatly Group.Key in the "Modify the Group Row" does'nt work for me, as it doesn't use the converter from the PropertyGroupDescriptor.
I've managed to use the solution in "Group By Formatted Value". Allthough it wasn't what I wanted (cause my custom control uses the unconverter value).

Anyway, thanks for your help.
I think you should consider implimenting support for PropertyGroupDescriptor Converter in the default GroupHeader.

Best regards,
