format syncfusion grid grouping control for windows application

[prabhjeet]

I am using custom generic collection class to bind data with datasource of grid grouping control.

List c = new List();
now "CustomClass" have all properties..

to bind data with grid grouping control i am using syntax

this.gridGroupingControl1.DataSource = c;

This binds my grid properly....but i don't want to bind grid directly....because the grid header displays the same name as written in "CustomClass" properties....i want to give differnt header name in grid grouping control (not what i have written in "CustomClass") and for all columns i want to give different column width...and one more thing that how to make autogenerate column= false in grid grouping control

I will be really thankfull if anyone could help me in this...

Hi Prabhjeet,

Regarding the Column's HeaderText:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You can change the header text of the column by using the GridColumnDescriptor.HeaderText property. Below is a code snippet

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["ColumnName"].HeaderText = "ChangeHeaderText";

GridTableDescriptor td2 = gridGroupingControl1.GetTableDescriptor("Table2");
td2.Columns["Nothing much"].HeaderText = "ChangeHeaderText";

Regarding the Column's width:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To change the individual column width manually, you could try this code snippet:

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["ColumnName"].Width = 175;

//For paticular table.
this.gridGroupingControl1.GetTableDescriptor("TableName").Columns["ColumnName"].Width=50;
