Keep specific(two ) columns together when reordering columns

[Kz]

Hi There,

We need to keep two columns together always when we are reordering columns. Lets say we have 5 Columns  A B1 B2 C D. We want to keep columns B1B2

together always when we are reordering i.e B1B2 columns should allow to drag and drop reordering.

 Possible reordering cases B1B2 ABC ,BB1B2CA...........

Can we achieve this with Silverlight RadGridview.?

Hi,

You can try using one column to represent both values and set a custom CellTemplate as well as modify the column header to show multiple values.

If we use Cell Template we will lose the features for filtering, sorting. So CellTemplate is not a workaround solution i guess.

Hi,

Indeed, you will lose some important functionalities if you take this approach. However, there is not a straightforward way to achieve the behavior you seek for. Another possibility would be to utilize the ColumnReodered/ColumnReordering events and manually check the columns that are being reordered to make sure the columns are always stuck together. You can work with the DisplayIndex properties of the columns.
