I have an issue where I want to merge cells in a Row not a Column. I'll explain my situation;
I have a grid of questions and responses. Some questions do not have a response, so I want to merge the question and reponse cells together so that the question text spans across both cells. There is a 3rd column in the grid with comments in as shown below;
I want the cell highlighted in yellow to merge or span to 2nd cell. I still want this to behave as a row because there is data in the Comment column to write back to the database.
Please can someone tell me if this is possible?
UPDATE: Mike, you can ignore my question below as I have found the solution. Just add MQR before the other two.
Hi Mike,
I use exactly this solution, but I have a problem. The header of the MergedQuestionResponse column is displayed and the headers of the Question and Response columns are not displayed. I need the exact opposite situation. I need the header of the MergedQuestionResponse not to be displayed and the headers of the other two to be displayed.
What is the best way of approaching this?
Thanks in advance.

That is correct, there is no built-in functionality in the grid to merge cells in the same row.
Mike,
Is there still no added functionality to merge cells in the same row, you need to use the Row Layout trick you displayed above?

If you are using CellMerging to merge cells in the same column, but different rows, then you don't need to do anything special.
If you are trying to merge cells within the same row (but different columns), then yes, you would have to use the technique I described here.
The type of editor you are using really doesn't matter.

Thx.
