    Sort DataGridView on unbound column issue...

    Hi group,

    I have a DataGridView that is mainly consisting of data bound columns.
    One column however is unbound. I'm not able to sort the grid on this
    column! Is that normal behaviour? If so, what are my options?

    Thanks (again) for your time,
    Frederik

      Yes, it is normal behavior. If the column is not databound, it doesn't know
      the underlying data source to handle the sorting.

      If you are using datasets or data tables, you could add a column to your
      dataset.

      Otherwise, you can try handling the sort stuff yourself. You could try
      capturing the column header click event, check to see what column it is, and
      sort it yourself.

      I just created a dgv bound to a BindingList<myO bj>, and found excellent
      examples for handling the sorting in Brian Noyes' Data Binding book.

          How to capture mouse click in grid column header ?
          Grid OnMouseClick not not have such flag.

              Capture the ColumnHeaderMou seClick event.

              Or capture the CellClick event, and check the rowindex in the
              DataGridViewCel lEventArgs. If it's -1, they clicked on the header.
