Hi,
We are just reviewing 2011.1 release and it seems to have lot of new features including Cell Merge in XamGrid. We have noticed that Cell Merge is handled with GroupBySettings GroupByOperation="MergeCells" and it allows the cells to merge the cells in adjacent rows. We are looking forward if there is any way to merge cells in columns too?
I have gone through samples and some forum items. from there it seems not to be available. please confirm us about this.
Thanks
The new Cell Merging feature of the XamGrid provides a new UI pattern for GroupBy where Group values are shown as merged cells in a special column, rather than collapsed row headers.
The Cell Merging works on column lavel. The XamGrid does not offer a way to merge cells from different columns (like ColumnSpan).
Regards
Nikolay,
We REALLY need the ability for text written in one cell to run into the adjacent column cell automatically if it is empty (like Excel does.) While we have successfully combined the Infragistics Excel library with your Silverlight grid for an almost spreadsheet-like tool, until Infragistics adds this text over-run ability none of your clients will be able to create a truly on-line spreadsheet app (with titles than span multiple columns, etc). So this should be of the highest priority for your development team...

Hi Zikolay Zhekov,
Can you let me know if we can merge cell in a single column dynamically/runtime without using Group by settings?
