[Solved] Grid combined with flipview

[Koen]

Hello, 

Is there an example of a RadDataGrid with a Flipview behind (double tap)?  
I'm having the following problems:

 - I have a column that has a "sortdirection" in the XAML, but when executed, the data isn't sorted (although there is an arrow that it's sorted).
 - running through the same records in the flipview  (in the same order) as in the RadDataGrid (filtered and sorted)
 - remembering the grid state when coming back from the Flipview (i.e. the sorting and filtering)

Thanks for the information.

Regards,
Koen

[EDIT] The second problem is already solved. I use the function GetDataView to retrieve the filtered and sorted records from the grid and then I use that as the Datacontext for the FlipView.

Hi Koen,

Thank you for using RadControls for Windows 8!

About your first problem: The SortDirection property controls only the visual state of the SortDirectionGlyph and does not affect the actual sorting state of the grid. If you want to initially sort the data, you have to add a SortDescriptor to the SortDescriptors collection of the grid.

As to your third question: If you navigate between pages, then you have to set the NavigationCacheMode property of the page that contains the grid to Enabled.

For your convenience I have attached a runnable sample application that has two pages - one with a RadDataGrid, that is initially sorted, and one with a FlipView that uses the currently displayed items in the grid as ItemsSource.

I hope this was useful and let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
