    Column Group
    In This Topic

    In addition to hierarchical column headers, FlexGrid enables grouping related fields together. This provides you the ability to create collapsible column groups. This is done by setting the columns property (or the columnGroups property) to an array containing column definitions where the definitions contain a 'columns' collection of child columns. The column groups may be collapsible and configured to show any of the child columns when the group is collapsed by setting ColapseTo and IsColapsed properties of the column.

    The following example demonstrates how you can create column groups by initializing the grid's column set as hierarchical columns.

            public Portfolio(string name, string currency, params double[] args)
            {
                Name = name;
                Currency = currency;
                YTD = args[0];

                Bond = args[5];
                Cash = args[6];
