[Solved] Change Request - Adjust "GridViewHeaderCell" VisualStateGroups into "Common" and "Sorting" groups...

[Rob]

Hello,

I have a question (and an enhancement request) that the ControlTemplate of the GridViewHeaderCell be changed slightly.

Currently the states are:

<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
   <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
      <VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
      <VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
      <VisualState x:Name="Ascending" />
      <VisualState x:Name="Descending" />
   </VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

And I would like to see them grouped and a new state added like this:

<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
   <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
      <VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
      <VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
   </VisualStateGroup>
   <VisualStateGroup x:Name="SortStates">
      <VisualState x:Name="Unsorted" />
      <VisualState x:Name="Ascending" />
      <VisualState x:Name="Descending" />
   </VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

This would align the states more closely to other similar controls as well as give the designer the ability to still show a mouseover effect when a column is sorted...

Hello Rob,


I have prepared an example for you that demonstrates how to separate Sorting States in their own group within the template of GridViewHeaderCell and how to maintain the original mouse over effect in any of the sorting states.

Wow - I wasn't aware you could just change the ControlTemplate like that...  Am I correct that is what you've done?  Or have I missed something?

Hi Rob,


Yes you are right, I have changed GridViewHeaderCell's template and copied the Ascending and Descending states along with a None state in their own group.
