Header Visible Position with columns and groups

Hi

Suppose we have list of an object with 3 fields f1, f2 and f3. and I bind this list to grid with 

grid.DataSource = list.

I want grid shows the list in following orders:

f1,

f2 and f3 under a group (e.g, g1)

but my problem is "g1" group comes at first, and no matter how I set visible position,

I set visible position as this:

Columns["f1"].Header.VisiblePosition = 0;

Groups["g1"].Header.VisiblePosition = 1;

what can I do now?

thanks in advanced.

Hi,

    If you are using groups, you shouldn't be using the VisiblePosition property. Instead of using the VisiblePosition, I suggest using the column.RowLayoutColumnInfo or the group.RowLayoutGroupInfo. Each of those have OriginX, OriginY, SpanX, SpanY which help with the position of the headers.

Essentially when you are using groups you are using our RowLayout feature.  Which the designer does offer the ability to help you greatly with positioning. The link below is the landing page for that feature which has links for using the designer or not.

http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WinForms?page=WinGrid_Row_Layouts.html

If you would like to manual code then and not use the designer, another suggestion might be turn on Column and group moving, and possibly resizing. Then move and size them to how you want then just see what the OriginXResolved ,OriginYResolved, SpanXResolved, SpanYResolved are.

private void UltraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)

{

e.Layout.Override.AllowRowLayoutColMoving = GridBagLayoutAllowMoving.AllowAll;

e.Layout.Override.AllowGroupMoving = AllowGroupMoving.WithinBand;

e.Layout.Override.AllowRowLayoutLabelSpanSizing = GridBagLayoutAllowSpanSizing.AllowAll;

}

Let me know if this helps,

Thank you so much. I will try this and let you know the result.

Thanks a lot. It worked like a charm!!. I set positions using OriginX for every column or group

<code>

      var g1 =  grid.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Groups.Add("g1", "group");

      var col = grid.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns;

      var grp = grid.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Groups; 

      col["f2"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = g1;

      col["f3"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = g1;

      col["f1"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 0;

      grp["g1"].RowLayoutGroupInfo.OriginX = 2;

      col["f2"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 0;

      col["f3"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 2;
