AllowGroupBy Property (UltraGridColumn)

Determines whether this column can be dragged into the GroupByBox to become a GroupBy column. The Default is resolved to True.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property AllowGroupBy As Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean
public Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean AllowGroupBy {get; set;}
Remarks

The AllowGroupBy property determines whether the user is allowed to group-by the column. If set the False the user won't be allowed to add or remove this column from the group-by box. This property does not prevent you from grouping the rows by the column in code.

To enable the funtionality for grouping rows, set the Layout's UltraGridLayout.ViewStyleBand property to OutlookGroupBy. This will display a group-by box on the top of the grid where the user can drag and drop a column to group rows by that column. To group rows by a column in code, add the column to the UltraGridBand.SortedColumns collection and specify true for the groupBy parameter of the Add method.

Also note that you can set the SortIndicator property of a column to Disabled to disable sorting as well. When SortIndicator is set to Disabled, grouping by the column will be disabled as well.

Example
Following code sets AllowGroupBy property on various objects in the UltraGrid.

Imports Infragistics.Shared
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click

      ' Disallow the user to group rows by columns. Properties set on DisplayLayout's
      ' Override effect the whole grid.
      Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.False

      ' You can override above grid-wide settings on a particular band by setting the
      ' property in question to a non-default value in the Override object of that 
      ' band.
      Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Override.AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.True

      ' Forthermore, you can override settings on the band's and layout's Override 
      ' objects by setting that property on the column itself.
      Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("CustomerID").AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.False

  End Sub
using Infragistics.Shared;
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid;
using System.Diagnostics;

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

	// Disallow the user to group rows by columns. Properties set on DisplayLayout's
	// Override effect the whole grid.
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.False;

	// You can override above grid-wide settings on a particular band by setting the
	// property in question to a non-default value in the Override object of that 
	// band.
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Override.AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.True;

	// Forthermore, you can override settings on the band's and layout's Override 
	// objects by setting that property on the column itself.
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns["CustomerID"].AllowGroupBy = DefaultableBoolean.False;
