Group caption for summary row

[Bernard Herrok]

Hi,

How can i get the group caption to put it into the summary row?

Thanks,

You could use QueryCellStyleInfo. In that event, you access the group using

Dim group As GridGroup = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.ParentGroup

From there you could get the group information like the Category or the child count.

Here is a little snippet that displays some group information in a summary column named "sumCol3". (So, instead of showing the value of the sumCOl3 summary, it shows group informatiom.)

Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs)
        If e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType = GridTableCellType.SummaryFieldCell AndAlso Not (e.TableCellIdentity.SummaryColumn Is Nothing) Then

            If e.TableCellIdentity.SummaryColumn.Name = "sumCol3" Then
          	Dim group As GridGroup = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.ParentGroup
                e.Style.Text = String.Format("{2}={0} ({1} items)", group.Category, group.GetChildCount(), group.CategoryColumns(0).Name)
	    End If
	End If
End Sub
