DataGrid icons and sorting

[Administrator]

Hi!

I was just taking a look at your dataGrid examples, they have been really useful thanks!

However, the example to add icons seems to fix the icons to a specific row of the data grid so that as the data is resorted the icons do not sort with it.

I''m doing the following to try and attempt this based on your example, the "Type" columns basically gives an index value that corresponds to the icons I have loaded in the image list called "Icons".

Even though I have forced my styles to be redone after a sort of the data grid the icons still seem stuck in place as per the original order.

Just a theory, is this becasue the table actually doesn''t reorder, but the view of that table in the data grid does reorder?

Any pointers you can give would be appreciated!

thanks
Chris

Function MyGetImageIndexForRow(ByVal row As Integer) As Integer

Dim dataTable As DataTable = CType(MusicDataGrid.DataSource.Tables(0), DataTable)

Return dataTable.Rows(row).Item("Type")

dataTable.Dispose

End Function

.....

Dim tmpc as DataColumn

For Each tmpc In dataTable.Columns

If tmpc.ColumnName = "Icon" Then

Dim iconColumn As DataGridIconOnlyColumn

iconColumn = New DataGridIconOnlyColumn(Icons, New delegateGetIconIndexForRow(AddressOf MyGetImageIndexForRow))

iconColumn.HeaderText = ""

iconColumn.MappingName = "Icon"

iconColumn.Width = Me.Icons.Images(0).Size.Width

tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(iconColumn)

Exit For

End If
