Remarks

Use the SortingSettings property to control the settings of the sorting operations in a Telerik RadGrid control. This property is read-only; however, you can set the properties of the GridSortingSettings object it returns. The properties can be set declaratively using one of the following methods:

  • Place an attribute in the opening tag of the Telerik RadGrid control in the form Property-Subproperty, where Subproperty is a property of the GridSortingSettings object (for example, SortingSettings-SortedAscToolTip).
  • Nest a <SortingSettings> element between the opening and closing tags of the Telerik RadGrid control.

The properties can also be set programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, SortingSettings.SortedAscToolTip). Common settings usually include the tool tips for the sorting controls.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
