Group by date in ggc

Hi, I have a ggc and trying to group by date. When I drag the column in the drop down area, it groups by date & time. I don''t need the time, but the date only. How can I accomplish this? Thanks, Esmeralda

You can add a custom sort comparer. Here is a little sample. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/user/uploads/GGC_DateGrouping_da6c361b.zip

I tried the sample but the child group options caption text "Category" part still includes the time for date-time groups. I want to group by a column named "BirthDate" for example, and having the dates include the time portion is confusing to users. Esmeralda

If you are only grouping dates, you can just set this property. this.gridGroupingControl1.ChildGroupOptions.CaptionText = "{CategoryCaption}={Category:MM/dd/yyyy}"; But if you need to support grouping things other than dates, then you cannot just set this property. Instead, you need to handle the QueryCellStyleInfo and conditionally format th ecaption depending upon the caption being provide in QueryCellStyleInfo.

private void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.GroupCaptionCell)
	{
		GridCaptionRow cap = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement as GridCaptionRow; 
		if(cap.ParentGroup.Category is DateTime)
		{
			e.Style.Text = ((DateTime)cap.ParentGroup.Category).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
		}
	}
}

Thanks Clay, This works. Regards, Esmeralda
