I am working with a hierarchial data structure and would like to displays all sub-elements of the data strcuture in the grid. However, since I have implemented custom filtering functionality, the user can create a filter that displays zero sub-elements, thus, entirely hiding the field labels for the sub-elements. Since my filtering functionality is accessible through drop dows inside the labels, once the data is gone, I cannot record it.

Is there any way I can keep the headers in the grid when the grid is empty?

Thanks
