[Solved] Change Sorting indicator

[Constantine]

Hi

Is there any ability to change default sorting indicator for GridView?
I.e - increase it's size or replace it with some other icon?

Hi,

 You can modify the GridViewHeaderCell template with Blend to achieve this.

Hi

I'm sorry but I was unable to modify sorting indicator using Blend.
For some reasons changes were not reflected at runtime.
Could you please send me an example where sorting indicator Height and Width are increased and changed color.

Thanks in advance and waiting for  a reply

Hello Constantine,


Within the GridViewHeaderCell's template you should only change the Width and Height properties of the element named PART_SortIndicator, as it is shown below:

<Path x:Name="PART_SortIndicator" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Data="M0,0 L1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0 5,1 4,1 4,2 3,2 3,3 2,3 2,2 1,2 1,1 0,1 0,0 z" Fill="{StaticResource GridView_SortIndicatorColor}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="8" Margin="0,3,0,0" Opacity="0" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5" Stretch="Fill"  VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="10"............./>

Attached is a project that demonstrates this approach, feel free to modify it to meet your personal requirements.
