GroupConfigurationSelector Property (DataGridControl)

Gets or sets a group-configuration selector that will be used to select the appropriate configuration for a master group based on its information and/or content.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property GroupConfigurationSelector As GroupConfigurationSelector

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DataGridControl
Dim value As GroupConfigurationSelector
 
instance.GroupConfigurationSelector = value
 
value = instance.GroupConfigurationSelector

public GroupConfigurationSelector GroupConfigurationSelector {get; set;}

Property Value

A GroupConfigurationSelector that will be used to select the appropriate configuration for a master group based on its information and/or content.

Remarks

Unlike a default group configuration, which applies to all groups, group-configuration selectors, such as the built-in FieldNameGroupConfigurationSelector and LevelGroupConfigurationSelector, can be used to select the appropriate configuration for a group based on its information and/or content using their respective FieldNameGroupConfigurationSelectorItem and LevelGroupConfigurationSelectorItem, which provide a group configuration and indicate for what specific field name or level that configuration applies.

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 provide a FieldNameGroupConfigurationSelector that will apply the defined group configuration to all groups that are created from the values of the column corresponding to the specified field name.
