Silverlight datagrid group header customization - silverlight-4.0

I have a data grid, grouped based on employee name. I am able to group and able to show the group information properly. I would like to know, is it possible to add a check box along with employee name in the group row? I want to customize the group header to row.
Thanks,

I ended up using third party control Component one to achive what is required here easily. If any one is interested, please have a look at the following link

How to group a text row in multiple data rows in Microsoft Report Builder

Basically I'd like to from this :
What I have
To this :
What I Want
Case in Orange are data that I pick up with an sql request while "This e-learning phase..." is just a plain text.
Does anybody knows how to do that ?
You could add a Parent Row Group and Group by the Information field.
Unfortunately, this would place the Information on the Left side of the table. Fortunately, there is a Layout Direction property for the table that can be switched from LTR to RTL so that the table is created from Right to Left instead of the default Left to Right.
This way the grouped information field on the right would only have one cell while there may be multiple Activities.
I'm not sure you'll be able to do this exactly how you want. This is because you cannot add rowgroup columns after non-grouped columns.
The only way you could get close is to not show the text if it's not the first row in the dataset (or rowgroup if the report is grouped somewhere)
You could use something like this in the Value expression.
=IIF(
ROWNUMBER("myDataSet_Namehere") =1,
"This e-learning phase must be completed before the start of the classroom part indicated below.",
Nothing
)
You could use a similar check to then set the vertical alignment property.
It looks like this...
The other option would be to move the test to the top of the table on it's own row in above the column headers, it would probably look neater..
Or you can wait for somebody else to come up with a better solution :)

Oracle Apex column link from LOV values

Can you please advise if below is even possible. Using Oracle 11g and APEX 4.2.6.
I have a data grid that brings all tasks from a master table. But show the task name via a LOV.
I am trying to add links, via Column links. But I must turn off the LOV to make this work. Which would give me link. But this is not very helpful.
Example below.
44193
Is there a way, so I can still use a LOV. So that the return value gives me the ID for the link, but the Display value gives me the anchor text.
Example below.
Weekend
Many thanks
I'm mostly used to Apex 4.1, but this approach should work.
You don't need an LOV. Your report query should include both the MAST_ID and the TASK_NAME columns. Hide the TASK_NAME column and set MAST_ID as the linking column. If you set the Link Text (under Column Link) to #TASK_NAME#, you should get the desired result. Display As should be left at the default (Display as Text etc).
They added a new feature now where you can add a link to your item under: "Link" attribute.

Limit PivotTable Filter based on another filter

I have a pivot table with multiple filters, such as:
Site: select one of the sites
Supervisor: shows all supervisors, regardless of site
Currently, the Supervisor filter shows all the available options from the data set. I want it to only display the supervisor names that match the selected site. I'm trying to put together an automated solution that will update as users select the options they need within the filters (to see their site and individual teams, for example). I'm trying to automate this, so it will always be current as supervisors are added/removed from the data set.
I'm pretty sure automating this is a VBA issue, but I'm pretty new to using VBA, so I'm not sure where to start.
Seeing as I'm new and do not have enough rep to comment I will just give you an answer and if it's not what you're looking for I will remove it.
I don't believe this is a VBA issue. In the pivot table Field List you will want to set Supervisor to be filtered by clicking the little downward arrow beside the field name within the "Choose fields to add to report" box. That way when you select a site you can then filter out any of the supervisors that don't belong there.

Turning Off Grouping In ObjectListView Turns Of Sorting

I am struggling to find information on a lot of small issues I'm starting to come across since recently integrating the ObjectListView into my application. I must admit, I love the control and it takes a lot of work away from me by having the control pretty much do everything that I need.
However, amongst a few issues that I've come across thus far, one is the fact that if I turn off grouping for individual columns it no longer allows me to sort these columns.
For example, my ListView control has an ID, Summary, Location, etc., etc. I currently run grouping on the ID because I attach a unique footer against every ID and it looks good. But, when I click on Summary, or Location it then groups all items by Summary or Location and therefore I end up with the group header but no footer anymore because the footer no longer corresponds with the ID.
What I want to achieve is to allow the user to click on any other column, but still maintain the group by ID and thus keep the footer against each item. I only want the items to sort, not group, but as mentioned, when I turn off the grouping against each column, it turns off the sort function.
UPDATE
Basically, looking at the screenshot below, I want to be able to click on the Priority Column Header (for example) to sort the list of object by Priority, but still maintain the Group By Ticket (with the Group Footer details). And basically be able to click on any Column header to sort the list but keeping the grouping by Ticket.
I have intercepted the OLV_BeforeCreatingGroups event to add:
e.Parameters.GroupByColumn = Ticket_ID
This now seems to maintain my grouping by Ticket no matter what Column header I click on, but I now loose the sort functionality.
Try setting AlwaysGroupByColumn to be the TicketId column. That will do the trick :)
Second attempt:
Thanks for the screenshot. I think I understand what you want. You are hoping that clicking on the header will sort the groups themselves. That's not the default behaviour, which is to sort the rows within each group.
To do what you are asking:
Listen for BeforeCreatingGroups event and fill in the GroupComparer property on the event argument block. This comparer controls the ordering of the groups.
The default group order is based on OLVGroup.SortValue. So you could install a GroupFormatter delegate and change the SortValue for each group so they are ordered in the manner you want.
In either case, you will need to use PrimarySort and PrimarySortOrder to know which column the user last clicked.

How do you create custom column heading when you do grouping in silverlight?

I have a datagrid which is grouped on a column. It does grouping properly but it shows column name + column value. But I want to show only the column value but not the column name. I remember reading there is a method I can overwrite which will allow me to create custom column headers. Could someone point me to the link?
Thanks,
Now I use thrid party control, it has group header formatter.
