Column reorder

[Hans]

Hi !

I have a datasource bound to rad datagrid. But the column order is not what I want.
How I cand give them the index that I want. ?

Hello,

There are 2 possible ways to do this.
1: You set

this.radGridView1.AugoGenerateColumns = false;

and create the columns manually in the order that you want, or...

2: Use the move method of the collumns collection to modify the position

this.radGridView1.Columns.Move(0, 3);

Hope that helps

Hey Richard,

I'm looking for the same functionality and the .Move method is not working for me. I'm creating radgridviews dynamically in code at runtime and they are on dynamic radpageviewpages (also created dynamically at runtime), in case that has anything to do with .move not working.

So, normally with a standard ms datagrid I use .Columns("column").DisplayIndex = 0 (or whatever index I need), in order to set up a gridview that has autogencolumns = false, however I do not see that property on the radgridview. Is there something that's going right over my head?

Thanks buddy!

Hi,

.Move would be the method to use to move a column from one index to another, though I haven't been able to replicate your issue. Are you able to post  small sample to demonstrate your issue and I'll take a look at it for you
Thanks

Hi Richard,

Sorry, I'll just chalk that up to too many late nights in a row. .Move is definitely working. I was, uh, trying to move a hidden column lol. When using it on the correct columns it works perfectly!

No problem Josh. I know how the late nights can be!
Glad that you have it all sorted.
Regards,
Richard
