SkipGroupsFocus Property

Description

Specifies whether groups are skipped when navigating the GridControl with the Up and Down keys.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property SkipGroupsFocus() As Boolean

Remarks

By default, SkipGroupsFocus is True. If True, when navigating the rows with the Up and Down keys in the GridControl, the group headings will be skipped, and the next non-group heading row will be selected.

If False, when navigating the rows with the Up and Down keys in the GridControl, all rows will be selected, even group headings.

SkipGroupsFocus also affects selection when using the mouse. When selecting multiple rows and SkipGroupsFocus is False, all group rows will become selected. If True, then group rows won't be selected.

Example
