I am looking for an excel-like grouping feature in the C1FlexGrid. I know of the sample "FlexGroup" which groups content based on column headers. However, I want to be able to create arbitrary groups of rows (independent of column headers). That is, I want the user to be able to select a few rows in the flex grid, click a button "Group" and obtain a custom group of the selected rows. My question is, how can I achieve this? (see screen shot of Excel 2007). Thanks.

Yes, while this is not directly supported you can easily configure C1FlexGrid to do this.  I've put together a sample showing how you can group a set of rows similar to Excel.  The key is to make each row a node using the IsNode property.  Then, for example, to group rows 8-15 you would make rows 9-15 leaves (IsNode = False) and this creates a group like shown in the picture.

hope it helps,

Thanks Greg, for your helpful sample. The thing is, my grid view already contains an outline tree. So I would need a second tree on my grid, which is probably not possible. Or how else could that be achieved?
