Single column sort in windows forms datagrid.

Hello,
I am trying to have only one column sortable within a
data grid. I know you set the allow sorting property to
true on the style, 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

Instead of having the columns created for you at run-time, you'll need to
manually set up the columns at design-time.

I am setting up my columns at design time. How do I turn
off sorting for one single column? The allowsorting
property is on the table style, not on an individual
column.

thanks,

As you click on each column in the DataGrid's properties builder dialog, you
need to make sure that the "sort expression" box is cleared for columns you
don't want sortable.

My Windows datagrid has two columns: one with the data that the user will see (col_X) and the other one (a hidden one: col_sort) that'll be used to sort data. When a user clicks on col_X's column header, I'm intercepting the header click and "telling" it to sort the dataview using col_sort. But for some reason, the "return" is not being executed. When I press the mouse key, it'll sort correctly (by col_sort), but as soon as I release the...

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?
