Select Column

[David A. Gonzales]

I have seen other Grid controls that allow you to click the column header and select that column (color of column changes, etc). What I am after is something that will allow me to select multiple columns and then perform an operation only on those selected columns. Does the Grouping Grid support this?

Thanks.

Hi David,

No there, is no direct way of doing this, but one way of doing this is by getting the sorted columns in server side as they perfom some action in headers and make some operations. if you can provide more details on the feature you will be needed, then We will look if we can do in some way in our existing version or will provide a Feature Request accordingly

Ok, what I am after is this. I have a grid that contains some columns that have information that is coded (for example, 0 = Apple, 1 = Banana, etc). I currently can do a right-click on the column header, bring up a menu, select Decode and all the codes will convert to their text counterpart. Then I can select another column, right-click, select Decode, etc, etc. What would be nice is to select all the columns I am interested in first and then do a right-click, select Decode and then all the selected columns would decode at one time. Since I am have no need for the sort I can do a left-click on the headers to do the selections. I guess I could capture the header click, make changes to the column (ie, give the user some way of knowing that the column has been selected), store that column info in a Dictionary, keep doing that until I am done and then handle the right-click event and process the stored columns. Hmmm, maybe not as hard as I thought?

Thanks.

Hi David,

We couldn't find some easy way to acheive this behavior other than the procedure mentioned by you.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
