Hi,
I have a WinGrid which is showing the data using Outlook Group By on a single field and View Style is set to "Single Band". In the GroupByRow I am summing up a field and DisplaySummaries option is set to "InGroupByRows" which shows the total in GroupByRow. Now in order to show the grand total of the field I am forced to use DisplaySummaries option with GroupByRowsFooter along with BottomFixed option (or Top, TopFixed or Bottom since GroupByRowsFooter does not work without one of these options). When I select this option now I have total in both GroupByRow and GroupByRowFooter for the field which is duplicate information showing both in header and footer field. I don't want to show the footer row so field total is shown on in the GroupByRow only and grand total is also show at the bottom. Please advise how can I have grid display Grand total to the grid but do not show the field total in the group footer row. (Although I want to show field total in the GroupByRow). I hope this is clear.
Unfortunately, I don't see any way to do this. You should Submit a feature request to Infragistics and perhaps some new options can be added to the DisplayAreas enum to allow this in a future release.
while I was browsing the web for the same problem, I found this article:

The problem of duplicated total is resolved by using a combination of a custom DrawFIlter and a CreationFilter. Moreover, it also make the summary footer caption to appear in the summary footer row that contains the summary values, wich is a remaining question on this forum.
As a bonus, this article also explains UIElement hierarchy very well. Tough it worth the share.
Cheers
