[Solved] Editable column selection and ordering

[Nic]

Hi there,

We have this requirement where the user will be able to popup a dialog to customize a gridview.

The dialog will have two lists, the left list holds columns not displayed and the right list holds columns displayed. The user will be able to move entries from left to right and vice versa. On the right (displayed) list, the user can also select an entry, and move it up and down to affect the ordering of the displayed columns in the gridview.

The user would be able to do this on a grid for which data has already been bound.

I'd appreciate help on how to proceed with this.

Thanks!

Hello Nic,

You can use two list boxes combined with our drag and drop manager for Silverlight. Check out this example on how to achieve this. When an item is added/reordered in the right list you will need just to update the columns collection of RadGridView with appropriate changes. You will not have to rebind it when you add or remove columns.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
