Group by Columns

The records displayed on the grid can be grouped by one or more columns. For example, you can group the records by the Country field and by the State field.

Grouping can be setup in the program and also be initiated by the user.

The user can simply drag and drop the column header that he/she wants to group by to a Group Drop Area located at the top of the grid,to group by a particular column.

On completion of the grouping command, the records with matching values in the grouping column are combined together to form a group. Every such group is captioned by a group bar. Each group bar is prefixed with a Plus/Minus button. using this button, the underlying records of the group can be viewed or hidden.
