Many thanks this was exactly what I needed!

Can close topic.

There's no Override-level setting for DisplayFormat. That has to be set on each SummarySettings individually.

So what you can do is handle that in the AfetrSummaryDialog event. Basically something like this: 

        private void UltraGrid1_AfterSummaryDialog(object sender, AfterSummaryDialogEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.SummariesChanged)
            {
                foreach (SummarySettings summary in e.Column.Band.Summaries)
                {
                    if (summary.SourceColumn == e.Column)
                    {
                        switch (summary.SummaryType)
                        {
                            case SummaryType.Average:
                                summary.DisplayFormat = "Average = {0:##.##}";
                                break;
                            case SummaryType.Count:
                                summary.DisplayFormat = "Count = {0}";
                                break;
                        }
                        
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Thanks Mike,

I might do that wrongly. Indeed Display Style / Area works way you described

But how to set DisplayFormat ? I cant see such property using layout.Override

(I need to setup thousands separator + decimal places precision - usually  "N2")

Oh, I see. 

The sample code is doing something kind've odd, which is that it's setting the SummaryDisplayArea on each individual SummarySettings. But that's probably not what you want. You probably just want to set that as the default for ALL summaries in your grid, so that it includes new ones added by the user and you only have to set it once. 

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            var layout = e.Layout;
            var ov = layout.Override;

            ov.GroupBySummaryDisplayStyle = GroupBySummaryDisplayStyle.SummaryCells;
            ov.SummaryDisplayArea = SummaryDisplayAreas.InGroupByRows | SummaryDisplayAreas.HideDataRowFooters;
        }

Apologies being not precise.

I meant - where I can setup layout of default summaries available by pressing sigma icon on headers

I can setup all I need (eg SummaryDisplayArea   , DisplayFormat etc) but only when I add my own summaries, eg that way:

var summary            = ultGrid.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Summaries.Add ( sumGroupName + "_" + ultGrid.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Summaries.Count , formula, position, columnPosition);

summary.SummaryDisplayArea        = SummaryDisplayAreas.InGroupByRows | SummaryDisplayAreas.HideDataRowFooters;

I m looking way to set similar features for 'default' summaries (MIN / MAX / SUM) etc
