I understand that I can set a custom group by description in the InitializeGroupByRow event. This works fine if I have 1 column I am grouping by.  However in my case I have 3 columns I am grouping by.   I have tried the following so far (trying just to get at least one description working....)

var rowId = e.Row.Column.Key;
UltraGridRow row;
switch (rowId)
{
    case "FunctionalAreaNumber" :
        e.Row.Appearance.BackColor = Color.LightSteelBlue;
        row = e.Row.GetChild(ChildRow.First);
        if (row != null)
        {
            if (e.Row.ChildBands.FirstRow.Cells != null)
            {
                e.Row.Description = string.Format("Functional Area: {0}",
                    e.Row.ChildBands.FirstRow.Cells["FunctionalAreaDescription"].Value);
            }
        }
        break;
    case "SubsystemNumber" :
        e.Row.Appearance.BackColor = Color.LightBlue;
        break;
    case "ModuleNumber" :
        e.Row.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Aqua;
        break;
}:

However this doesnt appear to work as Cells seem to always be null so I cant get the description from the functional area description column.  Any suggestions would be appreciated on how to resolve this.

Thanks!
