Is it possible to change the GroupPanel's height?

Description:
How to change the height of the group by box in the XtraGrid?

Answer:
The group panel's height depends upon the number of group columns; it is calculated automatically. If you wish to reduce its height, you should change the calculation algorithm by overriding the GridViewInfo.CalcGroupPanelHeight method.

    Is there an easier way to do this?  The group by panel takes up alot of screen real estate, and it would be nice to be able to easily trim it down.

      Hi Dave,

      The described approach for changing the height of the group panel is still actual and recommended. Also you can completely hide the panel by setting the View's OptionsView.ShowGroupPanel property to False.

      Let me know if you have additional questions.
