Custom Sorting a Windows Forms Datagrid

I have a Windows Forms DataGrid that has a DataView as a datasource.

My problem is that I want the datagrid to exhibit some special sorting
properties when the header rows are clicked on.

From reading round the newsgroups, it seems that a custom 'IComparer' is the
answer, but I'm not quite sure how to do this. Really, how to get at the
IComparer that the DataGrid/DataView uses for sorting.

Can anyone point me towards a nice example of how to implement customised
sorting in a DataGrid.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi, I'm trying to bind a custom collection class to a data grid, following the guidelines from the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/08/CollectionsandDataBinding/default.aspx. The problem is the article is in VisualBasic. I already get the collection to be recognized as a Data Source by the IDE. It populated the DataGrid correctly from the fields on the items object of the collection, but I can't get the DataGrid to...

Hi, I needed to build a data grid in which the first column has hyperlinks rather than simple text. I found the following code on this newsgroup and it works fine except for one problem. When I click the column headers all the columns sort except the hyperlink one. I checked the underlying dataview and that does get sorted so it seems like it is more of a display issue. I am guessing it has something to do with the hashtable used by the...

Hello everyone, I have created a custom component and one of its properties is a class object with it's own properties. During runtime, I can assign values to the class object properties just fine. However, when attempting to assing default values as designtime in the propertygrid, nothing is working on the class object. I know that I am doing it wrong, any ideas what it is? Thanks in advance

I thought the only thing I had to do to disable column sorting in VB.NET was to set datagrid.AllowSorting = False. Unfortunately this has never worked for me. I discovered another set of code that seems to work for 99% of the cases where I need to disable datagrid column sorting: Private Sub datagrid_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles datagrid.MouseDown Dim pt As New Point(e.X,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
