Add a capability to display a real count of records in the ASPxGridView even when a grouping is applied

I have written this as an extension method.
It expects that a KeyFieldName is set if it should work…
Feel free to steal this ;-)

C#
public static void FixGridItemCount(this ASPxGridView grid)  
       {  
           if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(grid.KeyFieldName))  
           {  
               return;  
           }  
           grid.DataBound += FixGridItemCountEventHandler;  
           grid.PreRender += FixGridItemCountEventHandler;  
           grid.BeforeGetCallbackResult += FixGridItemCountEventHandler;  
           var firstKeyFieldName = grid.KeyFieldName.Split(';').FirstOrDefault();  
           if(firstKeyFieldName != null)  
           {  
               grid.TotalSummary.Add(new ASPxSummaryItem  
                                     {  
                                         FieldName = grid.KeyFieldName,  
                                         SummaryType = SummaryItemType.Count,  
                                     });  
           }  
       }  

       private static void FixGridItemCountEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)  
       {  
           var grid = sender as ASPxGridView;  
           if(grid != null)  
           {  
               if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(grid.KeyFieldName))  
               {  
                   return;  
               }  
               var firstKeyFieldName = grid.KeyFieldName.Split(';').FirstOrDefault();  
               if (firstKeyFieldName != null)  
               {  
                   var asPxSummaryItem = grid.TotalSummary[firstKeyFieldName];  
                   if (asPxSummaryItem != null)  
                   {  
                       var itemCount = (int) grid.GetTotalSummaryValue(asPxSummaryItem);  
                       grid.SettingsPager.Summary.Text = MembercareGlobal.GridViewPagerSummaryText.Replace("[itemCount]", itemCount.ToString());  
                   }  
               }  
           }  
       }  

I second the request to add an option to display the real row count, instead of the "item" count.
The confusion may also be caused by the incorrect translations of pager labels to other languages.
See for example "Incorrect Russian translation of the GridView pager labels" (https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/T315109)

Any news about this one?
It's been three years!

Hello Bo,

I apologize for the delayed answer. Thank you for your comment. This functionality is not implemented in our controls at the moment. It requires a lot of changes in the grid and we can't introduce this feature in the near future. However, we are always trying to improve our controls and we will discuss this inquiry. But I can't provide you with any ETA as to when it will be implemented.

The provided solution found here: ASPxGridView - How to return the number of visible data rows excluding group rows works except for when you select "All" for the page size option. How do we fix the problem when "All" is selected?
