Hi Dariusz, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion product. 

To customize the GroupDropArea default text, you could use the PrepareViewStyleInfo event. Please refer the following code example and the UG link, 

Code example 




this.gridGroupingControl1.GridGroupDropArea.PrepareViewStyleInfo += GridGroupDropArea_PrepareViewStyleInfo; 
 
private void GridGroupDropArea_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (e.Style.Text.StartsWith("Drag a")) 
    { 
        e.Style.Text = "Drag and Drop Parent Table Column headers"; 
        e.Style.Font.Italic = true; 
    } 
}

Thanks for your help - solution works pretty good but I couldn't fit cell size to new text.

Fortunately, I found another solution.
All I needed to do was change DragColumnHeaderText property value in GridGroupDropArea.

Hi Dariusz, 
 
Thanks for the update. 
 
As you updated, the cell size can be changed based on the new text by setting the DragColumnHeaderText property of GridGroupDropArea as your new text. Please refer to the below code, 
 
Code example 
 




//To set the DragColumnHeaderText property. 
gridGroupingControl1.GridGroupDropArea.DragColumnHeaderText = "New Text";
