Sort DataGridView on unbound column issue...

[Frederik]

Hi group,

I have a DataGridView that is mainly consisting of data bound columns.
One column however is unbound. I'm not able to sort the grid on this
column! Is that normal behaviour? If so, what are my options?

Thanks (again) for your time,
Frederik

Yes, it is normal behavior. If the column is not databound, it doesn't know
the underlying data source to handle the sorting.

If you are using datasets or data tables, you could add a column to your
dataset.

Otherwise, you can try handling the sort stuff yourself. You could try
capturing the column header click event, check to see what column it is, and
sort it yourself.

I just created a dgv bound to a BindingList<myO bj>, and found excellent
examples for handling the sorting in Brian Noyes' Data Binding book.

Capture the ColumnHeaderMou seClick event.

Or capture the CellClick event, and check the rowindex in the
DataGridViewCel lEventArgs. If it's -1, they clicked on the header.
