GroupFooterRowStyleSelector

Updated on Sep 23, 2026

The GroupFooterRowStyleSelector property of RadGridView can be used to style group footer rows differently based on a specific condition.

Bear in mind that the GroupFooterRowStyle takes precedence over the GroupFooterRowStyleSelector and will overwrite it if both are defined simultaneously.

To do so, first create a new class that inherits the StyleSelector class and override its SelectStyle method:

Example 1: The GroupFooterRowStyleSelector class

C#
public class GroupFooterRowStyleSelector : StyleSelector
{
    public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
    {
        var group = item as QueryableCollectionViewGroup;

        if (group != null)
        {
            if (group.ItemCount > 1)
            {
                return BigGroupStyle;
            }
            else
            {
                return SmallGroupStyle;
            }
        }

        return null;
    }

    public Style BigGroupStyle { get; set; }
    public Style SmallGroupStyle { get; set; }
}
VB.NET
Public Class GroupFooterRowStyleSelector
Inherits StyleSelector
	Public Overrides Function SelectStyle(item As Object, container As DependencyObject) As Style
		Dim group = TryCast(item, CollectionViewGroup)

		If group IsNot Nothing Then
			If group.ItemCount > 1 Then
				Return BigGroupStyle
			Else
				Return SmallGroupStyle
			End If
		End If

		Return Nothing
	End Function

	Public Property BigGroupStyle() As Style
		Get
			Return m_BigGroupStyle
		End Get
		Set
			m_BigGroupStyle = Value
		End Set
	End Property
	Private m_BigGroupStyle As Style

	Public Property SmallGroupStyle() As Style
		Get
			Return m_SmallGroupStyle
		End Get
		Set
			m_SmallGroupStyle = Value
		End Set
	End Property
	Private m_SmallGroupStyle As Style
End Class

In the XAML file, define the style selector as a resource and set the properties of the BigGroupStyle and SmallGroupStyle:

Example 2: Setting the BigGroupStyle and SmallGroupStyle

XAML
<Grid.Resources>
	<my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector x:Key="StadiumCapacityStyleSelector">
		<my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector.BigGroupStyle>
			<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewGroupFooterRow">
				<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
			</Style>
		</my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector.BigGroupStyle>
		<my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector.SmallGroupStyle>
			<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewGroupFooterRow">
				<Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow" />
			</Style>
		</my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector.SmallGroupStyle>
	</my:GroupFooterRowStyleSelector>
</Grid.Resources>

The "my:" prefix before GroupFooterRowStyleSelector specifies the mapping for the namespace of the project: xmlns:my="..."

Finally, set the GroupFooterRowStyleSelector property:

Example 3: Setting the GroupFooterRowStyleSelector property

XAML
<telerik:RadGridView GroupFooterRowStyleSelector="{StaticResource GroupFooterRowStyleSelector}" />

And here is the final result:
