Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your inputs. I have another issue. The grouping is lost when i filter the collection view such that there are not records left. Is it possible to make sure that groups are showing even when all the records are filtered out.

Attached is the example. Please suggest.

Thanks

Jasvinder

Hello Jasvinder,

I have been looking into the code you have provided and I can say that the Field that you group by should be included in the FieldLayout, but if you don’t want to show it you can set its Visibility to Collapsed. You can define the FieldLayout like this:

<igDP:FieldLayout >
    <igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
        <igDP:Field Name="Id" Label="ID">
            <igDP:Field.Settings>
                <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True" AllowGroupBy="False"/>
            </igDP:Field.Settings>
        </igDP:Field>
        <igDP:Field Name="Age" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
        <igDP:Field Name="LastName" Label="Last Name">
            <igDP:Field.Settings>
                <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True" AllowGroupBy="False"/>
            </igDP:Field.Settings>
        </igDP:Field>
    </igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
</igDP:FieldLayout>

Please let me now if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks grouping work. However, when i set AutoGenerateFields to false, it seems to be stuck. See below, I want to show only certain fields in the grid

            <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
                <igDP:FieldLayoutSettings GroupByEvaluationMode="UseCollectionView" SortEvaluationMode="UseCollectionView" AutoGenerateFields="False"/>
            </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayoutSettings>
            <igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
                <igDP:FieldLayout >
                    <igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
                        <igDP:Field Name="ID" Label="ID">
                            <igDP:Field.Settings>
                                <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True" AllowGroupBy="False"/>
                            </igDP:Field.Settings>
                        </igDP:Field>
 
                        <igDP:Field Name="LastName" Label="Last Name">
                            <igDP:Field.Settings>
                                <igDP:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True" AllowGroupBy="False"/>
                            </igDP:Field.Settings>
                        </igDP:Field>
                    </igDP:FieldLayout.Fields>
                </igDP:FieldLayout>
            </igDP:XamDataGrid.FieldLayouts>
