Hello Kim,

I'm glad I was able to help.

I would like to share two alternative solutions. It might be better to just handle the InitializeRecord event and look for e.Record to be a GroupByRecord and set the Description there. It could be done with the following code:

 private void XamDataGrid1_InitializeRecord(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter.Events.InitializeRecordEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Record is GroupByRecord) 
            {
                int endIndex = e.Record.Description.IndexOf(" ");
                if (endIndex >= 0) e.Record.Description = e.Record.Description.Substring(0, endIndex);
            }
        }

Alternatively, if you want to change that for the entire app you could also change the resource strings we use to format that, which is GroupByDescription_Format_NotOneChild and GroupByDescription_Format_OneChild. See the docs for more on the resource strings:

Hello Kim,

It seems that I have misunderstood you. If you would like to present a field inside the XamDataGrid as a password field and hide the value out of edit mode, then I recommend you using a converter that takes the password value and returns it as string of “*”. The converter should be similar to the code below:

 public class TextToPasswordConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            ValueEditor editor = parameter as ValueEditor;
            DataRecord record = editor.DataContext as DataRecord;
            var password = record.Cells["Password"].Value;
            

            var dataGrid = (XamDataGrid)Infragistics.Windows.Utilities.GetAncestorFromType(editor, typeof(XamDataGrid), false);

            string passValue = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < password.ToString().Length; i++)
            {
                passValue = passValue + "*";
            }


            return passValue;
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            return value;
        }

Additionally, inside the XAMl you would need to use a Style that targets the XamTextEditor and set its ValueToDisplayTextConverter property to the converter it could be done with the following XAML:

 <Window.Resources>
        <l:TextToPasswordConverter x:Key="converter" />
    </Window.Resources>

    <Grid>       
        <igWPF:XamDataGrid  x:Name="xamDataGrid1">
            <igWPF:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
                <igWPF:FieldLayout>
                    <igWPF:Field Name="ID" Label="ID"/>
                    <igWPF:Field Name="Name" Label="Name"/>
                    <igWPF:Field Name="Date" Label="Date"/>
                    <igWPF:Field Name="Password" Label="Password">
                        <igWPF:Field.Settings>
                            <igWPF:FieldSettings>
                                <igWPF:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
                                    <Style TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamTextEditor}">
                                        <Setter Property="ValueToDisplayTextConverter" Value="{StaticResource converter}"/>
                                    </Style>
                                </igWPF:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
                            </igWPF:FieldSettings>
                        </igWPF:Field.Settings>
                    </igWPF:Field>
                </igWPF:FieldLayout>
            </igWPF:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
        </igWPF:XamDataGrid>

    </Grid>

I am attaching a small sample application that demonstrates what I have explained above, please test it on your side and let me know if you have any questions.
