Property Value

Type	Description
ObservableCollection<GroupStyle>	One or more GroupStyle objects.

Remarks

DevExpress WPF ComboBoxEdit, LookUpEdit and ListBoxEdit controls include support for ICollectionView – allowing you to manipulate the current record and define rules for filtering, sorting and grouping.

By default, if a grouping rule is defined in the ICollectionView, editors display the plain list in which items are sorted to accomplish data grouping. Use the GroupStyle property to visually enhance the presentation of grouped items. For instance, you can display expandable groups (see the image below):

Note

When grouping is used, the ListBoxEdit control scrolls items per group by default. To change this behavior, set the VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizingWhenGrouping attached property to true.

Xaml

<dxe:ListBoxEdit VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizingWhenGrouping="True">
   ...
</dxe:ListBoxEdit>
