GroupCaptionCell

Hi,

we are using a business object which is bound to a GGC. One property of the business object is of kind enum. This enum property is localized via a custom EnumConverter class. Everything works fine.

The problem occurs when enabling grouping. When I drop the column (which hold the enum type) to the group drop area i get the following GroupCaptionCell:


"Parameter Name: Value1 - 10 Items"

but the corresponding converted enum value is "LocalizedValue1". So I would suggest something like this:

"Parameter Name: LocalizedValue1 - 10 Items"

Now I thought I can handle this GroupCaptionCell type by myself in the QueryCellStyleInfo event. But how can I find out the current "CategoryName" and "Category" so that I can handle the localization?

Cheers,
Chris

Try code like:

void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
if (e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.GroupCaptionCell)
{
GridCaptionRow cap = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement as GridCaptionRow;
if(cap != null && cap.ParentGroup != null && cap.ParentGroup.Category != null)
{
//cap.ParentGroup.Category // the value
// cap.ParentGroup.CategoryColumns[0].Name // the column name
}
}
}


to see if this gives you what you need.

Hi Clay,

thanks - this works fine for me :-)
