Can not find MasterGridViewTemplate AllowMultiColumnSorting property

[Mark Blom]

Hi,

In order to disable multicolumn sorting, I am looking for the AllowMultiColumnSorting property for MasterGridViewTemplate as described in the documentation but I can not find it.

Can you please help me locating this property?

BTW: I am using the 2008 Q1 version of the Winforms controls

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

This property is marked obsolete in our previous release and now has been removed from GridViewTemplate. The default behavior now is when the Shift key is used the multi-column sorting is applied.

If you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me again.

Kind regards,

Hi Julian,

Thanks for the reply!

Is there a way to disable multicolumn sorting and only allow one column to be sorted?

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark Blom,

Actually you are able to accomplish that but in a more proper way than before (more fluent with the way our API is designed). The property has been moved to the SortExpressionCollection, thus allowing to have different settings for the different levels of the hierarchy.

Example:

radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.SortExpressions.AllowMultiColumnSorting = false

Thus you can disable the multi-column sorting for the master grid view template (if you work with planar data this is sufficient).
