Column reorder only within group

[Maurice]

Is it easily possible to allow column reordering, but then restrict columns within groups to only be reordered within that group?

Similarly, columns not in a group cannot be moved into a group - where both situations at the moment allow the group to be split into two groups of the same name each with a subset of the group's columns.

 

Thanks,

Hello Maurice,

You can handle the ColumnReordering event of RadGridView. The ColumnReorderingEventArgs give you the  NewDisplayIndex of the dragged column. Also you have e.Column.DisplayIndex - the current index of the dragged column. Having the Column and ColumnGroups properties of the RadGridView you can do the following:

- determine the maximum and minimum index for every group
        - check if the new index is outside the [min;max] boundary of he group
- set e.Cancel = true if drag is outside the range

I hope this approach fits well in your scenario.

Petar, that is the approach I took.
