This demo illustrates how the RadGrid can be configured to show MultiColumn headers.

  • Use ColumnGroups to define each level of multiheaders
  • Use ColumnGroupName property of GridColumn to assign a column to a specific multiheader.
  • Use HeaderContextMenu to show and hide columns and see how this works with the MultiColumn headers.
  • Column reordering and drag to group is supported only for headers representing actual grid columns. Column reordering is restricted to columns from the same group.
