Datagridview sort resets my formatting

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to keep my cell formatting the same even
after I've clicked a column sort header.

Basically I've programmaticall y changed forecolors and backcolors of
several different cells in my datagridview. When I the click the sort
header it resorts the data but all my color formatting is lost. Is
there a way to not lose all this formatting when I sort?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

Ben

Hey Ben,

In the Design View, Select your DataGridView Control, and go to the
Properties section.

Specify your Alternating Row formatting in the
AlternatingRows DefaultCellStyl e, located under the Appearance category.

Your cells should not be changing colors like that.

Hope that helps!

I'm trying to set my datagridview so that the first row will be left blank and to use it as a filtering filed for the datagridview. Until now I was using 2 datagridview the upper one with a header that sort and one row for filtering and the lower one with no header for the data. Only it is very complicated to work this way cause for example when the user click on sort on the upper datagridview I need to sort the lower grid and so on when...

Now this ought to be a simple matter. But nothing's simple in the Net world, I'm finding. In vb6 you could use "!" to force text to upper case in the format function. I've searched the vb.net help system and can't find any help on formatting text. There's plenty of help formatting numbers, dates, and times, though. I'm in the phase of converting from 6 to Net and it seems that even the simplest thing is very, very complicated. And it...

I have been searching all over the web for a way to sort a DataGridView based on the actual text being shown in a ComboBox column as opposed to the underlying value (an ID in this case). Can anyone tell me if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it? If this is completely impossible, how would you suggest going about sorting a ComboBox wherein the text displayed in the column is the client's name, and the underlying value is an ID? ...

Hi, I filled a DataGridView with some data and then changed some cells format in order to separate them by content. For example, city names are blue, numbers are green, some words are in italics... The problem is when I click on the column headers to sort the data: all the format disappears. I think it can be because of the index change of every row in the grid due to sorting, but I'm sure there must be some way of doing that without...

VS 2005/Pro I'm using a DataGridView in a Windows form and allowing the user to sort the columns by clicking on the header column. Is there some method offered by the grid to return back to the unsorted view? I think I could "roll my own" by resetting the bindingsource.sort = nothing, but it seems like the datagridview should have something like this?

I have a log viewer. I sort the DataGridView by the Time Column and then run a function to set all cell backcolors depending if the cell above is different. This works correctly, however, when I resort a column (by clicking any of the column headers) then all the colors revert back to the origional white background. Is there a way to have the DefaultCellStyle for each cell follow the value/cell on sort?

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

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,...
