Fixed Bands & Columns
Anchor bands and columns for improved readability.
Fixed Bands & Columns
Fixed Bands and Columns allow you to anchor bands/columns to the left or rightmost edge of the Grid when using standard Data Views. These fixed bands/columns are never scrolled horizontally and as such, allow you to create solutions that offer improved readability and visual clarity. Typical use-cases involve financial and data entry intensive applications.
Fixed Rows
Anchor data rows the top or bottom of the grid.
Fixed Rows
Fixed Data Rows allow you to anchor rows to the top or bottom of the Grid when using a Table View. These pined rows are never scrolled vertically and as such, allow you to create solutions that offer improved readability and visual clarity.
Outlook Style Grouping
Group and organize data just like Outlook.
Outlook Style Grouping
To help you deliver apps that address the widest possible usage scenarios, the DevExpress VCL Grid includes support for Date-Time Group Intervals - a way in which to visually group data using a common data point.

Summaries & Data Aggregates
From the number of records within a grouped row or maximum value across all rows in a dataset, we've made it easy for you to use aggregate functions and compute data summaries for rows and columns displayed within our Data Grid. The following built-in aggregate functions are available: Average, Count, Max, Min and Sum.
Merged Column Grouping
Display groups for records with two or more common data points.
Merged Column Grouping
You can merge grouped columns for our VCL Data Grid by dragging the appropriate column header(s) to the group panel and arrange them across a line while pressing the CTRL key. Drag column headers below or above this line to break merged grouping.
