Remarks

A group summary’s value for a specific data group can be retrieved via the GridView.GetGroupSummaryValue method. The GetGroupSummaryDisplayText method formats the summary’s value according to the summary item’s format specified by the GridSummaryItem.DisplayFormat property.

Refer to the Working with Summaries in Code. Custom Summaries document for more information on how summary values can be accessed.

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the GetGroupSummaryDisplayText member must not be invoked for these Views. The GetGroupSummaryDisplayText member can only be used with Views that display real data within the Grid Control. Use the following methods to access these Views with which an end user interacts at runtime.

• GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
• GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
• GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
• the sender parameter of View specific events;
• GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.
