How to change the column order of the WinForms GridListControl?
Change the column orders
You can change the column orders of a WinForms GridListControl by overriding the CreateGridColumn method in GridListControl class. By using this method, you can change the order of the columns as per your requirement. In the following sample, the columns are reordered from ParentID|Integer to Interger|ParentID.
C#
this.gridListControl1 = new reorder.MyGridListcontrol();
public class MyGridListcontrol : GridListControl
{
public MyGridListcontrol() : base()
{ }
public override void CreateGridColumn(PropertyDescriptor pd, int column)
{
CurrencyManager cm = this.BindingContext[this.DataSource] as CurrencyManager;
PropertyDescriptorCollection pdc = cm.GetItemProperties();
if (pdc != null)
{
if (column == 1)
column = 2;
else if (column == 2)
column = 1;
base.CreateGridColumn(pdc[column - 1], column);
}
}
}Me.gridListControl1 = New reorder.MyGridListcontrol()
public class MyGridListcontrol : GridListControl
public MyGridListcontrol()
MyBase.New()
End Sub
public override void CreateGridColumn(PropertyDescriptor pd, Integer column)
Dim cm As CurrencyManager = TryCast(Me.BindingContext(Me.DataSource), CurrencyManager)
Dim pdc As PropertyDescriptorCollection = cm.GetItemProperties()
If pdc IsNot Nothing Then
If column = 1 Then
column = 2
ElseIf column = 2 Then
column = 1
End If
MyBase.CreateGridColumn(pdc(column - 1), column)
End If
End Sub
End Class
