Hello

I have often faced a scenarion where I have groups (GroupDescriptor), but those groups need to be ordered by a different property.

Usually, telerik column properties already provide a SortMemberPath.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" SortMemberPath="Id"

However, the GroupDescriptor does not have that, it only has Member and SortDirection.

The only way to set the sort to refer another property is in code behind using a generic group descriptor. It is very flexible, but it has several drawbacks, since now I'd have to declare everything in C# (aggregate functions, templates, etc) and also lose the Design time feedback from Visual Studio.

My request is to just have the possibility to set a SortMember in XAML which will work for most scenarios, same way as others components already do.

<telerik:GroupDescriptor Member="OrderState" SortDirection="Ascending"
                                         SortMember="OrderStateIndex" >

Thanks

Using SearchPanel and getting search results highlighted is a very usefull feature. However at the moment it is only possible to change the color of the highlight-portion of HighlightTextBlock. It would be nice if I have more formatting options like:

• HighlightFontWeight
• HighlightFontStyle

etc. So if I search for "find" I get results like "find me"

Hi,

I have been working wit the RadGridView for about 6 years now and it works great!

The only thing that still bugs me after all these years is the GridViewComboBoxColumn. The sorting and "Search as you type" features are not working for us. The fact that it uses the DataMemberBinding is something we do not get.

The fact that it is not ordered or searched into the shown value instead of the DataMemberPath is beyond me.

I mean, why would I, as a user, want to search into or sort a value that is not visible to me?

Adding a feature like a string property on the GridViewComboBoxColumn that is used for displaying, searching, filtering and sorting would be awesome!

The filter's distinct values work well, but the field filters show the enum value and that's not good.

I have attached a sample project to demonstrate the problems with sorting, filtering and searching.

There are also print screens attached to clarify each feature mentioned

Thanks!
