[Solved] Control Ordering of Columns

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hello,

I'm using RadGridView bound to a WCF RIA services EntitySet<> Collection in an MVVM-Lite based application.

I'm handling the AutoGeneratingColumn event to skip certain columns at load time that shouldn't be shown or edited.

I have a column header context menu set up to allow hiding/showing the remaining columns that actually got added to the grid.

What I don't know how to do is to control the column ordering at load time, or later (if the customer wants to quickly reset the column order to some default).

Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Jeff

Well, no sooner than I write this the answer becomes obvious...  Hope this helps someone else...

private void GeneratingColumn(Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
{
    // eventually, we'll load the preferred columns from preferences.

    // We define a List<string> of columns that should never go in the grid.
    // If in this list, cancel the add of this column
    e.Cancel = HideColumns.Contains(e.Column.UniqueName);

    // We define a List<string> in the order that they should be shown.
    if (ShowColumns.Contains(e.Column.UniqueName))
         e.Column.DisplayIndex = ShowColumns.IndexOf(e.Column.UniqueName);
}
