Example
All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
The following example demonstrates how to force the GroupByControl and ColumnManagerRow contained in a grid's fixed header section to occupy all the available width. By default, items in the fixed header and footer sections will only span across the width occupied by the columns.The following example demonstrates how to provide, through a style, a new GroupHeaderControl template.
