Column Sorting in C#
Link Posted: 28-Jan-2008 07:03
I am having two issues with sorting by clicking on a columns' header.

1. I have a column that is sorting alphanumeric instead of by actual number value (ie. 1, 10, 2, 20 instead of 1,2,10,20).  I tried making this column a NumberColumn in the designer.cs file, but that did not help.  I do not see a way to change this column type in the Column Collection Editor (or create a new NumberColumn for that matter).  Am I missing something else that I should change?

2. I have another column where, in some cases, I change the value on the fly grid, but not the underlying node.  When I try to sort this way, the sort does not recognize any values just on the grid and not in a node.  Instead, it sorts as if those cells were blank.  Is there a way to sort based on the grid values instead of the node values?

Thank you,
Jason

Jason,

1. Here is what I have in visual designer:
[attachment=0]column.items.png[/attachment]
As you can see there's a list of columns that can be added to the flygrid.

2. I do not completely get the idea, but you can try to override the FlyGrid.GetComparer method in order to make it sort the FlyGrid using a custom comparer.

Thank you for your timely response.

1. I read about that drop down on the add button on other forums, but I do not have that on my version.  I am using Version 1.5.0.2... is there a setting somewhere I am missing.  Or is there a property on my fly grid that needs to be set to accept different columns.

Thanks,
Jason

Jason,

It looks like you have some versioning/caching problems with FlyGrid design-time dll?
Did you have another version of the control on your system?
