How to Sync ColumnOrder between UltraGrid and UltraGridColumnChooser
posted
Hi, I have a UltraGrid (Winforms) and I have allowed moving of the columns. This means a user can move the column 3 to position column 2 and so on. The user can also select which columns to see using the UltraGridColumnChooser control. Is there any way that I can persist the column order so that when the user starts the application again then the column order is same as he/she left the last time. OR How can I access the most updated column order? Why does the UltraGridColumnChooser not sync with Grid when I move the columns around? Thanks,

    You can save and load the layout of the grid through the DisplayLayout.Save (or SaveAsXml) and DisplayLayout.Load (or LoadFromXml) methods; these will take into account the column positions that the user has specified.

    As for the issue with the column order, that seems to be a bug since it's not updated even when the ColumnDisplayOrder is set to SameAsGrid.  You should report this to Developer Support.  A quick hack workaround would be to listen to the grid's AfterColPosChanged event and force the column choose to refresh, i.e.:

     private void ultraGrid1_AfterColPosChanged(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.AfterColPosChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.PosChanged == Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.PosChanged.Moved)
        {
            this.ultraGridColumnChooser1.ResetColumnDisplayOrder();
            this.ultraGridColumnChooser1.ColumnDisplayOrder = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ColumnDisplayOrder.SameAsGrid;
        }
    }
