[Solved] change sort to click on column not just text?

[Jon-Jon Kershaw]

Sort only seems to work if you click on the text.  Is there any way to sort if you click anywhere in the column header?

Thanks.

Hi Jon,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        {
            foreach (GridHeaderItem header in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.Header))
            {
                header[col.UniqueName].Attributes.Add("OnClick", "return SortColumn('"+ col.UniqueName+ "');");
            }
        }
   }

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
        function SortColumn(ColumnName)
        {
         var masterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();
          masterTable.sort(ColumnName);
        }
        </script>

Thanks
Shinu.
