GroupHeaderFooterItem Structure
Structure that represents a container created from a template in the header or footer sections of a group.
All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
The following example demonstrates how to select all the data items contained in a group by adding them to a grid's selected-items collection when a group-header control is pressed. In the case where a group contains child groups, all the data items in the child groups will also be selected.
< Grid xmlns:xcdg ="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid" >
< Grid.Resources >
< xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key ="cvs_orders"
Source =" {Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
Path=Orders} " >
< xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions >
< xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName ="ShipCountry" />
< xcdg:DataGridGroupDescription PropertyName ="ShipCity" />
</ xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource.GroupDescriptions >
</ xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource >
< Style TargetType =" {x:Type xcdg:GroupHeaderControl} " >
< EventSetter Event ="PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown"
Handler ="SelectRows" />
</ Style >
</ Grid.Resources >
< xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name ="OrdersGrid"
ItemsSource =" {Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}} " />
