GridGroupingControl has too many limits...

[maurizio ziraldo]

Hi,

I've worked a lot on GridGroupingControl during the past two days, but I did not found any solution to these problems:

1) if I use Metro style, I can change the color of text, background and bottom border of headers, but there is a light gray border around header's cells that I cannot change or remove in any way. Is it right?

2) I cannot find a solution to have a grid readonly, selectable by row and  with filter bar. If I use ListBoxSelection(...) options to make the grid selectable by row and readonly:

ListBoxSelectionMode = One

ListBoxSelectionCurrentCellOptions = HideCurrentCell

then the filter bar does not work any more (the dropdownlist of filters does not appear).

Any other solution?

3) filter bar cannot be customized: for example you cannot change his height to make it different from the other rows of the grid; in addition you cannot remove the option "(Custom...)" from the dropdownlist. Right?

Ok, forget question number 1) : support gives me a solution using TableControlDrawCellFrameAppearance event to change borders colors.

Ok, there's a solution also to questions at number 3):

a) for filter bar height, refer to:

https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/117442/how-can-i-fix-the-height-of-the-filter-bar-row-height

b) for custom options list, refer to:

Now, using a custom filter cell seems to solve also case 2)..... so at last, GridGroupingControl has no so many limits :-)
