Single sort column in DataGrid!?

Hello,
I am trying to have only one column sortable within a
data grid. I know you set the allowsorting property to
true on the style or the grid, but this enables sorting
for all columns. Is there a way to override this
implementation so that only a few or one of the columns
may be sorted?

thanks,
-brett

Brett:

Is this desktop or Web? You can trap the mouse down event and bind your
grid to a dataView instead of a datatable, You can manipulate the sort from
there. Whether this is desktop or web will have a subtle effect on how to
do this, but if you use a Dataview, sort it, and bind the grid to it, you
can make just about anything happen.

Let me know if you have any troubles.

I have a datagrid that I am using a DataView with. All works great for the sorting of the columns. However, after I sort the column, and then try and select a data row to edit, the row selected represents the indes of the actual DataGrid and not the DataView. For example.. Lets say I have 4 rows of data.. In the 4 rows I have an Appt Num of 1,2,3,4... Each representing a data row... I sort DESC so the rows display 4,3,2,1... If I...

Hi, I'm tring to add a column to a datagrid with a linkbutton as header that can be used to sort the column. The column and the linkbutton are added programmatically (see below). However the problem is that when you click the added column header it doesn't trigger the sort. The code : <%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false"

Hello, I am creating a windows form application using vb.net 2003 which displays data in a datagrid, and then, if the user wants, I produce a nicely formatted crystal report of the data. The question I have is: if I allow the user to sort the datagrid by clicking on the column header, is there any way that I can tell which column the datagrid is sorted on, so that I can sort the data in the crystal report the same way?

It was suggested that I re-submit this question as a new post rather than adding onto an old and unanswered post. The basic problem has to do with the .NET datagrid and sorting. I am having trouble getting the correct row of data from the datagrid immediately after re-sorting the datagrid. I am using the dataview for accessing the data and am using the following code as previously mentioned in a different post: Dim bm As...

I successfully autosized the columns and rows on my Datagrid, and am now facing another issue. Having the sorting ability by clicking the column headers is key, but when I do that, it resizes all my rows back to their defaults. I populate the datagrid, resize it accordingly and it works fine...just when I click the headers is when it messes up. It would be fine if I could run my autosizing again after the sorting is done since there...

Hello all, I can usually find solutions to my .NET problems by searching these groups, but I'm stumped on this one. I have a datagrid in VB.NET (2.0 framework). I want to disable sorting on the first column in the grid only. I havent found a way to reliably do this yet. I tried putting the following code in the datagrid's mouse down event Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
