GridControl Column Order

Hi Q,

You can apply the this.grid.Model.Cols.MoveRange method to place you columns.To place the first column to the second column, test:

this.gridControl1.Cols.MoveRange(1, 2);

//or

You can allow the user to use the default drag column support by setting AllowDragSelectedCols to true and enable DragColumnHeader flag in the Controller option. Please try this and let me know if this helps.

this.grid.AllowDragSelectedCols = true;
this.grid.ControllerOptions |= GridControllerOptions.DragColumnHeader;

Thanks.

What if you only know the column name? I can not find the map from Column Name to Column Index or Index to Name.

Hi Q,

You can find the colIndex by column name using the NameToColIndex method and find the column name by colindex using the ColIndexField method. Here is a code snippet that show this.

int colIndex = grid.Binder.NameToColIndex("ColumnName");

int field = grid.Binder.ColIndexToField(col);
string name = grid.Binder.InternalColumns[field].Name;

Hi Haneef ,

Thanks for your help. However, I can not find the Binder property in the GridControl. I am using 4.4.

Hi Q,

You can use the GridRangeInfo.GetAlphaLabel() method to get label name from the colindex in a grid. Below is a code snippet

[c#]
Console.WriteLine( GridRangeInfo.GetAlphaLabel(1000) );
