[Feature Request]: `KryptonOutlookGridGroupBox` 'CreateGroupBox' method not found

Hi!

I’ve been using the original KrptonOutlookGrid library from JDH Software. I have an additional method on this library, especifically on KryptonOutlookGridGroupBox.cs:

        /// <summary>
        /// Handles the DragDrop event. Add a new grouping column following a drag drop from the grid
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="column"></param>
        /// <param name="sender">Source of the event.</param>
        /// <param name="e">A DragEventArgs that contains the event data.</param>
        public void CreateGroupBox(DataGridViewColumn column, string groupingType, SortOrder Order, bool sortBySummary)
        {
            string columnToMove = column.Name;
            string columnName = column.Name;
            string columnText = column.HeaderText;
            SortOrder sortOrder;
            DataGridViewColumnSortMode sortMode;
            string[] res = columnToMove.Split('|');
            sortOrder = Order;//SortOrder.Ascending;
            if (sortOrder == SortOrder.None)
                sortOrder = SortOrder.Ascending;
            sortMode = (DataGridViewColumnSortMode)Enum.Parse(typeof(DataGridViewColumnSortMode), column.SortMode.ToString());
            OutlookGridGroupBoxColumn colToAdd = new OutlookGridGroupBoxColumn(columnName, columnText, sortOrder, groupingType);
            //if (res[4] == typeof(OutlookGridDateTimeGroup).Name)
            colToAdd.GroupInterval = res[0];
            colToAdd.SortBySummaryCount = sortBySummary;
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(columnToMove) && !columnsList.Contains(colToAdd) && sortMode != DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable)
            {
                /*
                //Determine the position of the new Group amongst the others 
                int i = 0; //first group order is 0
                //We are sure that we are going to browse the columns from left to right
                foreach (OutlookGridGroupBoxColumn existingColumn in this.columnsList)
                {
                    if (e.X > (existingColumn.Rect.X + existingColumn.Rect.Width / 2))
                    {
                        i++;
                    }
                }
                */
                columnsList.Insert(0, colToAdd);

                //try
                //{
                //Warns the grid of a new grouping
                OnColumnGroupAdded(new OutlookGridColumnEventArgs(new OutlookGridColumn(columnName, null, null, sortOrder, 0, -1)));
                this.Invalidate();
                //}
                //catch (Exception exc)
                //{
                //    MessageBox.Show("Failed to group.\n\n Error:" + exc.Message,
                //                      "Grid GroupBox",
                //                      MessageBoxButtons.OK,
                //                      MessageBoxIcon.Error);
                //}
            }
        }

This method is not included neither on the original library nor the new one. I don’t really know from where I have it, probably from github, but it’s not mine. I think it’s for creating groups without dragging columns, just by code. I would use it like this:

kryptonOutlookGridGroupBox1.CreateGroupBox(kryptonOutlookGrid1.Columns[2], "OutlookGridDefaultGroup", SortOrder.None, true);

It would crate groups from the values in kryptonOutlookGrid1.Columns[2] and group all the rows of the outlook grid. Is it possible to add it? Is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry for the formatting, I don’t know how to show the code well

Hi @Wagnerp! Sorry to bother but, are there any news about this feature? I was using it with the old library and now there is some issues with my apps because programmatically grouping is not working because of the lack of this method.

Thanks!

Hi @NintendoPlayer At the moment I’m working on this https://github.com/Krypton-Suite/Standard-Toolkit/issues/609. However, hopefully I can work on #290 soon.

Hi @Wagnerp! There you have it!
