i  think ( correct me if i am wrong ) that cellmerging property in ultragrid is for  merging same cell value  in the same colunm

 and can nto be merged if the cells have the same value and there are in the same  row.

 Hi Aris,

    No, there are no samples of this that I know of. This could be very simple of it could be very complex, it depends on the functionality you need. If you want the cells to be editable, then I would advise against attempting this, as it would be extremely difficult. If the user can't edit the cells, then this should be pretty straightfoward. You would use the CreationFilter to trap for AfterCreateChildElements of the RowUIElement. You would use GetContext on the element to get the row. Then you could get the cells collection and loop though them and determine which ones to merge. Merging the cell in this case would be a matter of finding any one of the CellUIElements and resize it so that it covers the other cells. And then remove the CellUIElements for the covered cells. 

thanks i ll try to accomplish that. I dont need editable cells .only for display the values of them.

 thanks in advanced .

i ll  post again if i need further help.

I have done this by using MergedCellStyle and MergedCellEvaluationType of columns. But there is an issue that if value for Row5-Col3 and Row4-Col3 are same then it also merged. We also have to cell editable.

I don't understand what you are asking.

The image you have here displays merging cell in the same column. That's not what you asked originally. Your question was about merging cells in the same row.

If Row5, Col3 and Row4, Col3 have the same value, then why would they not be merged?

And why is having the cells editable a problem?
