how to reorder columns in multicolumncombobox

[Kamen Yotov]

i am playing with multicolumncombobox.
i am data-binding an array of custom created objects as a data-source and their public properties show as column (as the documentation says).

how do i choose the order in which the columns appear? it is not related to the order the properties are declared in the source...

Hi Kamen,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

You can achieve the reordering of the columns by storing the column information in a Hashtable and by handling Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo event.

Here is the code snippet.

this.multiColumnComboBox1.ListBox.Grid.PrepareViewStyleInfo+=new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventHandler(Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo);

Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
void Grid_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
if (hash.Contains(e.ColIndex))
{
if (hash[e.ColIndex] != null)
{
e.Style.CellValueType = grid[e.RowIndex, int.Parse(hash[e.ColIndex].ToString())].CellValueType;
e.Style.Text = grid[e.RowIndex, int.Parse(hash[e.ColIndex].ToString())].Text;
}
}
}

Please refer the sample in the below link and let me know if this helps.
