How to hide or remove the table name displayed in the GroupDropArea in WinForms GridGroupingControl?
Hide the table name
By default, the table name is displayed at the top left corner of the GridGroupDropArea when the data source of the GridGroupingControl has a table name.
Solution
The table name can be hidden/removed from the GridGroupDropArea by using the following ways.
1. By setting the TableDescriptor name as empty.
2. By customizing the GridGroupDropArea’s column width.
By using the TableDescriptor
C#
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Name = string.Empty;
VB
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Name = string.Empty
Customizing the GridGroupDropArea’s Column width
The table can be hidden/removed by setting the column width of the table name cell as 0 by using the QueryColWidth event of the GridGroupDrop area.
C#
//Triggers the QueryColWidth event in Form() this.gridGroupingControl1.GridGroupDropArea.Model.QueryColWidth += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventHandler(Model_QueryColWidth); //Handles the QueryColWidth event void Model_QueryColWidth(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventArgs e) { //Hides the DataSource table name if(e.Index == 2) { e.Size = 0; e.Handled = true; } }
VB
'Triggers the QueryColWidth event in Form() this.gridGroupingControl1.GridGroupDropArea.Model.QueryColWidth += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventHandler(Model_QueryColWidth); 'Handles the QueryColWidth event Private Sub Model_QueryColWidth(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridRowColSizeEventArgs) 'Hides the DataSource table name If e.Index = 2 Then e.Size = 0 e.Handled = True End If End Sub
