Sort by Column Question

I am using a virtual gridcontrol and I need to sort by column. I catch the double click event on the header and I call SortByColumn(). It works, but the problem is as that as soon as it sorts, the data is overriden on the refresh by QueryCellInfo(). Is there a way to trigger a save on all the data cells in a grid? If I call OnSaveCellInfo() for each cell in a loop after calling SortByColumn(), then the data stays because it was saved to my data object, but I'm guessing that there must be a function on the grid I can call to make it save all cells at once. Any ideas?

Hi Kyle,

Here is a forum thread that discuss with the sorting in a virtual grid. Please refer this thread and let me know if this helps.

Haneef,

Thanks for the link, I have read over it. I think the best thing to do is sort the data object, but I am building a grid base class that other developers will be using and they do not want to sort the data in the data object, they want the grid to do it. Like I said, it is working, except for the fact that I have to go through and save each cell by hand. I would think there would be a call I could make to force the grid to save it's contents. If there is not, then I will just continue what I am doing. I will look again at the grid sorting tutorial.

Hi Kyle,

There is no single method to call SaveCellInfo event for all cells in a grid. If you want to call the SaveCellInfo for all cells then call OnSaveCellInfo method for every cells in a grid.
