showing summary when collapsed
posted

Is there a way I can show summaries when the group of rows is collapsed?  Our customers often want to see just the column summaries before they drill down to the specifics.

    Hi,

    It depends what you mean by "group of rows".

    If you are using OutlookGroupBy, then summaries display inside the GroupByRow by default, so you don't have to do anything.

    If you are displaying hierarchical data in the grid, then there's no built-in way to do this. The summary rows is always under the parent row and therefore collapsing the parent hides the summaries. In this case, you might be able to work around the issue in a couple of ways.

    • One way to do this would be to add an unbound column to the parent band and populate the cells of that column with summary information.
    • Another option would be to use a CreationFilter to modify the row elements. For example, you could turn on the RowAutoPreview functionality in the grid to add an extra element under each row and then use the CreationFilter to add in some other elements that will display the summary info you want. This would be pretty tough to do if you are not already familiar with CreationFilters, though. It's not an easy one to start with. :)
