Sorting Grouped GridViewComboBoxColumn

[Colin]

I have combobox column that is populated with id's and set up to show the given name as a display member. I also set DisplayMemberSort to true.

' create location combo box column

col = grdPurchases.Columns("location_id")

col.DataSource = locations ' DataGrid with "id" and "name" columns


col.DisplayMember = "name"

col.ValueMember = "id"

col.DisplayMemberSort = True

This works great and sorting the column sorts by display member and not value member like it should. But when I group by this column it seems to revert back to sorting by value member when sorting the groups.

' create default groupings
Dim locationDescriptor As New GroupDescriptor()
locationDescriptor.GroupNames.Add("location_id", System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending)
grdPurchases.GroupDescriptors.Add(locationDescriptor)

Is this supposed to happen? Is there a different way to keep sorting by display member?

Hello Colin,

Thank you for writing.

I can confirm that the DisplayMemberSort property is not taken under consideration when sorting grouped columns. I have added this case in our Public Issue Tracking System and we will address it accordingly for the upcoming Service Pack, due in the beginning of August. I hope that this time frame is suitable for your needs. Here is a link to the item: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/15346.

Your Telerik Points have been updated for this report.

Should you have any other questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us.
