The header row (the group headers in a GridView, or a parent row in a TreeListView) stays in the screen while scrolling until all the children rows have been scrolled.

The feature is available in R3 2017 Release of UI for WPF.

Currently VQCV caches all the items once they are loaded. In this way the data virtaulization functions only through the first bottom-most item scrolling. The idea behind this item is to make this behavior optional by introducing an alternative mode.

workaround:
public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.grid.Loaded += grid_Loaded;
}

void grid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.grid.ChildrenOfType<Grid>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "PART_OuterGrid").RowDefinitions[1].Height = GridLength.Auto;

    var cells = this.grid.ChildrenOfType<GridViewHeaderCell>();
    foreach (GridViewHeaderCell cell in cells)
    {
        cell.ChildrenOfType<Grid>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "PART_OuterGrid").RowDefinitions[1].Height = GridLength.Auto;
    }
}

By default, the RadGridView will expand its rows to fit whatever the size of the text content. If you have a large amount of text with newlines, it essentially renders the grid unusable in this state.

The thread http://www.telerik.com/forums/limit-row-height suggests two workaround: 1) using a converter to remove newlines- this is a bad solution because it means the binding on the column must be one-way. 2) Applying styling to the grid's textblock- also not great because its non-obvious and requires a lot of boilerplate.

My suggestion is two properties on the RadGridView: MaxRowHeight and MultilineRowContentBehavior. This second property would determine what happens when a row has multiline content and would take an enumeration: SizeHeightToContent- the current behavior. SingleLineExpandOnEdit- when displaying, shows only a single line of the multiline content. When editing, expands the TextBox to fit the content. SingleLine- displays and edits the content in a single line.

Current workaround for the affected themes - Define the following control template for the GridViewCheckBox:

			<ControlTemplate x:Key="GridViewCheckBoxTemplate" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCheckBox">
				<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="13" Height="13">
					<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

Fix available in LIB version 2017.2.814.

A workaround it so use a GridViewDataColumn and define a CheckBox within its CellTemplate.

Fix available in LIB version 2017.2.814.

Currently, if the value set to the RowHeight of RadGridView is lower than the Height of the highest cell(or the Height of a Hierarchy defined), it will not be respected. Provide an option the RowHeight to have greater weight than the height of the cell.

To work this around you can set the EnableColumnGroupsVirtualization to False.

Alternatively you can change the FrozenColumnCount before adding the columns, and reset it once the process is done. For example:

gridTriffDetails.FrozenColumnCount = 0;
 
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn);
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn1);
gridTriffDetails.Columns.Add(newColumn2);
 
gridTriffDetails.FrozenColumnCount = 1;

The workaround is to use a RadTabControl and set its IsContentPreserved to True

Add a property to control GridView ControlPanelItem visibility.
