假設 "Order Date" 列中包含日期/時間值。如果視圖的GridOptionsView.AllowCellMerge選項設置為true，若相鄰兩個單元格值是日期/時間值的話，這兩個相鄰單元格便會合并。下面的代碼介紹了如何合并例單元格的日期部分，要覆蓋默認的單元格合并機制，需要處理一下GridView.CellMerge事件。

C#

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid;
// ...
private void gridView1_CellMerge(object sender, CellMergeEventArgs e) {
if(e.Column.FieldName == "Order Date") {
GridView view = sender as GridView;
DateTime val1 = (DateTime)view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle1, e.Column);
DateTime val2 = (DateTime)view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle2, e.Column);
e.Merge = val1.Date == val2.Date;
e.Handled = true;
}
}

VB

Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid
' ...
Private Sub GridView1_CellMerge(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As CellMergeEventArgs) Handles GridView1.CellMerge
If (e.Column.FieldName = "Order Date") Then
Dim view As GridView = CType(sender, GridView)
Dim val1 As DateTime = view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle1, e.Column)
Dim val2 As DateTime = view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle2, e.Column)
e.Merge = (val1.Date = val2.Date)
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
