GroupsChanging Event

Fired when Telerik RadGrid tries to group its data (e.g. when a column header is dragged to the Group Panel).

Event Parameters

• (object) sender

  • The control that fires the event

• (GridGroupsChangingEventArgs) e

  • Event arguments

    • (boolean) e.Canceled

      If set to True the event will be canceled.

    • (GridGroupsChangingAction) e.Action

      Gets a reference to GridGroupsChangingAction enumeration, which holds information about what action did fire the event. (Group, Ungroup, Swap or ChangeSortOrder)

    • (GridGroupByExpression) e.Expression

      Gets or sets the GridGroupByExpression that will be used for grouping.

    • (GridGroupByField) e.SortedField

      Gets a reference to the currently used GridGroupByField

    • (GridGroupByExpression) e.SwapExpression

      Gets the swap expression which represents the GridGroupByExpression with which the GridGroupsChangingEventArgs.Expression will be swapped. The only case the value is not null is when the Action property is set to Swap

Attaching the event

In the Markup

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnGroupsChanging="RadGrid1_GroupsChanging">
</telerik:RadGrid>

In the Code behind

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.GroupsChanging += RadGrid1_GroupsChanging;
}

Protected Sub Page_Init(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
    AddHandler RadGrid1.GroupsChanging, AddressOf RadGrid1_GroupsChanging
End Sub

The event handler

protected void RadGrid1_GroupsChanging(object sender, GridGroupsChangingEventArgs e)
{
    GridGroupsChangingAction action = e.Action;
    bool canceled = e.Canceled;
    GridGroupByExpression expression = e.Expression;
    GridGroupByField sortedFiled = e.SortedField;
    GridGroupByExpression swapExpression = e.SwapExpression;
    GridTableView tableView = e.TableView;
}

Protected Sub RadGrid1_GroupsChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridGroupsChangingEventArgs)
    Dim action As GridGroupsChangingAction = e.Action
    Dim canceled As Boolean = e.Canceled
    Dim expression As GridGroupByExpression = e.Expression
    Dim sortedFiled As GridGroupByField = e.SortedField
    Dim swapExpression As GridGroupByExpression = e.SwapExpression
    Dim tableView As GridTableView = e.TableView
End Sub
