I have a dropdown limit to list column which has a code value and a display value. So say 1 maps to Val1, 2 maps to Val2, and so on. In the grid I see Val1, Val2 - and in the data is stored 1,2 and so on.
If I group on that column, it is grouping on the data value - so it will say "SomeColumn: 1 (2 items)". It should really say "SomeColumn: Val1 (2 items)".
Is there any way to do this? The codes are meaningless to the users, the users need to see the display values.
What version of the grid are you using? That sounds like a bug that was fixed a long time ago.
If I correctly understand the initial problem, I also have it:In a grid with an integer "Status" column having a ValueList attached to display text descriptions of the status, if I group on this column, the numbers are shown in the group area of the grid, not the description texts. I would like to have the texts instead.
You speak afterwards about datafilters and sorting and I cannot follow you guys ...
I have NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol.1.
I've got it now! My ValueLists were set per cell, not per column.
