Telerik grid sorting from an outside combobox

[Ajish]

When i am applying sorting on grid outside from a dropdown (sorting grid not by clicking on the grid header)

how  can i change the corresponding column header in the grid to show the  SortIcon

i have already tried

radgrid.Columns[3].SortAscImageUrl="image url";

 

radgrid.Columns[3].ShowSortIcon=true;

but this is only applying when the normal grid header sort event fires

not from outside of the grid (from dropdown)

please provide a solution for this ASAP

Hi,

Here is the sample code that I tried based on your scenario. Try rebinding the radgrid after sorting.
C#:

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  GridSortExpression expression = new GridSortExpression();
  expression.FieldName = "Name";
  expression.SortOrder = GridSortOrder.Ascending;
  radgrid.Columns[0].SortAscImageUrl = "~/Images/img.gif";
  radgrid.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(expression);
  radgrid.MasterTableView.Rebind();
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
