Hello, I have a XamMultiColumnComboEditor with 2 columns (see code below). The data in the comboeditor is sorted on the first column now, but I want to be able to sort on both. (clicking on header Test would result in changing the sort to the column Test and same behavior for column product)
<ig:XamMultiColumnComboEditor Name="cmbTest" ItemsSource="{Binding TestCollection}" DisplayMemberPath="Value.DisplayMember" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTest,Mode=TwoWay}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"> <ig:XamMultiColumnComboEditor.Columns> <ig:TextComboColumn Key="Value.Description" HeaderText="Test" Width="*" /> <ig:TextComboColumn Key="Value.Product" HeaderText="Product" Width="*" /> </ig:XamMultiColumnComboEditor.Columns> </ig:XamMultiColumnComboEditor>
How can I do this with this editor?
Thank you. That partially fixed the problem but it lead me to change my Select statement and added an 'Order by' statement which fixed it.
Try this
Dim dv As DataView = getMyDataView()
dv.Sort = "COLUMN_NAME"
Dim dt As DataTable = dv.ToTable()
myXamMultiColumnComboEditor.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView()
I have a XamMultiColumnComboEditor that is bound to a dataview and I cannot figure out how to sort it. I tried to just sort the dataview but that does not seem to be working.
Hello Dries,
I have been looking into the requirement that you are having and I managed to implement the sorting functionality for the XamMultiColumnComboEditor.
To allow sorting the editor, when clicking on the headers of the columns, you should create a class that derives from the XamMultiColumnComboEditor and expose its protected DataManger property. Using the DataManager, you can sort the items in the editor, by adding SortContext objects to the DataManagerBase’s Sort collection.
After exposing the property, you can create a style for the ComboHeaderCellControl and handle the MouseLeftButtonDown event, using an EventSetter. In the event handler for the event, you can get the column that should be sorted and add a SortContext for this column.
I am attaching a sample application that shows how you can implement this approach.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.
Sincerely,
Krasimir, MCPD
