GridDataBoundGrid Header and Sorting Questions

[Kenneth Johnson]

I've tried to set a column header title in a GridDataBoundGrid with no luck. What is the correct procedure? Also, is there a flag that can be set to turn off sorting on a column?

You can turn off the sorting with

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.SortBehavior = GridSortBehavior.None;

If you have added GridBoundColumns to your grid, you can set the HeaderText property for the particular column. If you haven't added GridBoundColumns, you can use the Binder.InternalColumns in a similar manner.

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[1].HeaderText = "col2 header";

Both of the answers worked, but I was trying to turn sorting off for one column and allow for the rest. Is this possible?

One way to avoid sorting a particular columns is to derive from GridDataBoundGrid, and override either OnCellClick or OnCellDblClick depending on how you are sorting. If you look at this forum thread, there is code that that places a chceckbox in a header column. The thread also discusses how to avoid teh sorting of that column.
