GridColumnBase.AllowGrouping Property
Gets or sets a value that specifies whether an end-user can group data by the current column. This is a dependency property.
Namespace: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Grid
Assembly: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Grid.v21.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Uwp.Controls
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| DefaultBoolean | A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether an end-user can group data by the current column. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| True | Corresponds to a Boolean value of true. |
| False | Corresponds to a Boolean value of false. |
| Default | The value is determined by a control’s current setting. The default value is automatically set for a control if an end-user doesn’t specify a value. |
Remarks
End-users are allowed to group data if the grid’s GridControlBase.AllowGrouping property is set to true. Individual columns provide the AllowGrouping property, allowing the default behavior specified by the grid, to be overridden. Setting this property to ‘True’ or ‘False’ overrides the default behavior. This can be useful when it is required to prevent an end-user from grouping data by values of specific columns.
If the AllowGrouping property is set to ‘Default’, the ability to group data is controlled by the grid’s GridControlBase.AllowGrouping property. In this instance, to obtain whether an end-user can group data by the current column, use the GridColumnBase.ActualAllowGrouping property.

Note
Data grouping requires data sorting to be performed. End-users can group data only if data sorting is allowed.
