Thanks Matthew...that worked.

Now that I have removed that line...I would like to put the Company Name in the blank area (white rectangle) directly to the left you the total area (in yellow).  Is that area exposed via a property?

Thanks

The same holds for the text you want to add to the white rectangle area to the left of the summary. 

Something to chew on:

class SummaryFooterCreationFilter : IUIElementCreationFilter
{
 #region IUIElementCreationFilter Members

 public void AfterCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
 {
  if (parent is SummaryFooterUIElement)
  {
   TextUIElement t = new TextUIElement(parent, "custom text");
   t.Rect = parent.RectInsideBorders;
   parent.ChildElements.Add(t);
  }
 }

 public bool BeforeCreateChildElements(UIElement parent)
 {
  return false;
 }

 #endregion
}

back to your grid on your form set the grid's CreationFilter property:

 this.ultraGrid1.CreationFilter = new SummaryFooterCreationFilter();
