Custom

[Dominic Morris]

When:
ShowCaptionSummaryCells = true

Can I show a custom summary column with type ==
SummaryType.Custom, *for the FIRST column*??

It appears that I cannot. This is a big shame! Instead, what happens is that the first column gets a listview-header-style backcolor, and it gets a +- icon next to it. The +- icon is fine, and I''ve used QueryCellStyleInfo to alter the text that gets put into this cell, but I''d really like my custom string aggregation delegate to supply the contents of this cell.

I''ve defined a GridSummaryColumnDescriptor for the column in question, but it would appear that it isn''t called (because it is the FIRST column?)

Is there any way of achieving this?

TIA,
D.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.ChildGroupOptions.CaptionText =
"{Row 0." + this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[ 0 ].Name + "}";

where the summary row is named "Row 0" and the summary column is named the same as the column that it summarises!

Great you found that solution. It''s kind of a special case but you can specify the contents of the first column by setting the CaptionText.

See my other answer also for information how to change the appearance of that cell.
