This has to be some sort of bug or versioning issue...
I recently updated to v10.3 (specifically 10.3.20103.1000) and it seems that many of the default appearances have changed for the grid... not as concerned about that though.
The issues I'm noticing now is that the GroupByBox seems to have disappeared from all the grids I have created since the update. In previous versions, the GroupByBox was always visible by default (i.e Hidden = False). The "Hidden" property is still set to False by default, but there isn't a GroupByBox at the top of the grid. Toggling this property doesn't seem to have any effect... the GroupByBox never appears...
Anyone else notice this?
Thanks Mike, I thought that was the case. Didn't know that I could use my own Presets for the grid. I'll definitely make use of that feature going forward, will save me a lot of time.
Hi,
If the default appearances and setting of a new grid placed on the form have changed, then it sounds like something did not install properly.
When you place a new grid control on a form, the grid designer is supposed to load a default Preset into the grid. It is this preset that makes the new control show the GroupByBox and also applies some appearances to the grid like the ActiveRowAppearance, ActiveCellAppearance, RowSelectors, etc. So it sounds like the default preset is not loading.
You should be able to correct this by going into the grid designer and setting up the default preset. In the grid designer under Presets--> Manager Presets, you can click on the Options button and make sure that you have the correct preset folders listed. If not, you can add in the folder where the presets are installed.
Once you do that, you can go to the Combined tab and select the default preset and check the checkbox at the bottom which says "Apply this Preset to grids created at design-time".
Of course, you don't have to use the preset we provide, you can make your own with whatever settings and appearances you like.
Thanks Hristo, up until this last upgrade my grids had always shown the box by default. Changing the ViewStyleBand did the trick.
Hello ,
I am not sure what is the version of Infragistics from which you are upgrading.
In Infragistics 10.3, if you want to display GroupByBox you should set following property:
this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.ViewStyleBand = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ViewStyleBand.OutlookGroupBy;
So please verify that mentioned property is set to “OutlookGroupBy”. Also you could find more information about GroupByBox property in Infragistics 10.3 on the following link:

Let me know if you have any further questions.
