Reorder column

[ofer alper]

Hi,

I need to have control over the reordering of columns. More specific, in case the user reorder column, i need to reorder another column in order to keep the symmetry.

I tried to use ColumnReordered event but i have 2 problems with this approach:

1) I am having infinite loop, because i also have to user grid.ReorderColumns  (and then i get the event again)

2) in the  ColumnReordered  event i don't have the original index of the column before the reordering. I need it in order to know which other column should i reorder.

Thanks,

Ofer

Hi ofer alper,

Please find my answers in order:

1. You will have to have some kind of flag in your application that will prevent you from infinite loop. When you start your reordering you will raise the flag and when you are finished you will pull it down. Also you will not do any reordering when the flag is raised.
2. We are already considering adding a new event - ColumnReordering on RadGridView for the next version of the control. It will allow you to achieve your requirements.

Thank you for your feedback. I have updated your Telerik points.

Hi ofer alper,

In order to provide more flexibility on reordering columns, we have provided a new event - ColumnReordering on RadGridView. It will be available in our next internal build (29/01).

Best wishes,
