Hi
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jay,
A DrawFilter is mainly used to change or override the drawing of existing UIElements in the control. A CreationFilter allows you to actually add, remove, or reposition the UIElements.
I'm not sure what you are asking regarding making the GroupByRow look like a Data row. There's no easy way to do this. It would be a pretty big task to do this with either kind of filter.
Hi Mike,
I found the GroupBySummaryDisplayStyle and although this aligns Summaries to the columns I want the Summary row to look like a data row so I think I need to create a DrawFilter or CreationFilter. Please can you explain the difference? I used a DrawFilter to override Forecolor of data rows. How can I detect the GroupByRow and draw columns in that row, aligned to the child data rows? I also need to write the column name in this row because the users will probably only look at the summaries in the GroupByRow.
Thanks for your help.
1. See the GroupBySummaryDisplayStyle property on the Override.
2. There are a couple of ways to do this. One would be to use a CustomSummaryEvaluator instead of a built-in summary. You could do the calculation yourself. An alternative would be to use a DrawFilter or CreationFilter to override the drawing of the Summary.
