Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

public event RoutedEventHandler StartGrouping

Public Event StartGrouping As RoutedEventHandler

The StartGrouping event's data class is RoutedEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Handled	Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route.
OriginalSource	Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class.
RoutedEvent	Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance.
Source	Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation.
OnSetSource(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a notification callback entry point whenever the value of the Source property of an instance changes.

Each time the grid’s data is grouped or ungrouped by a column, the grid does the following:

Since data grouping requires sorting, the GridControl.StartSorting and GridControl.EndSorting events are also raised before and after grouping.
