Data Grouping

Grid Views support the following data grouping features:

• Grouping Against an Unlimited Number of Columns
  Grid Views allow programmatic or end-user data grouping against an unlimited number of columns. Each grouped column can be sorted either in ascending or descending order.
• Joined Group Panel
  By default, the master and each detail offer their own group panels that are drag and drop targets for column headers. You can easily change this by allowing the master view's group panel to accept and hold column headers from all detail views.
• Multiple Predefined Grouping Intervals
  
• Microsoft Outlook Style Group Row Painting
  Grid Views can display grouped rows using the look and feel introduced in MS Outlook 2003.
• Images in Grouped Rows
  If you group records against a column that uses the ImageComboBoxEdit editor, the editor's images can be optionally displayed within grouped rows.
• Custom Grouping Algorithms
  
• Automatic Group Expansion
  You can enable automatic expansion for all groups after each grouping operation.
• Maintain Expansion State after Sort Operations
