Hello Scott,

We call the CalculateAutoResizeWidth method including the headers on all of our columns. A handful of the columns contain small integer values and so the width is based on the column header caption property which includes the Filter glyph for all columns.

If a user sorts on one of the small integer columns, the Sort glyph is not displayed because there is no room for it.

Ideally, what I would like to do is recheck the width in the ColumnClick event and resize the column if there is not enough room for the Sort glyph to be displayed in the header. Is this plan of attack the best one to take?

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the response! For the benefit of others, here is what I did.

  ' Class level variables.
  Private m_LastSortColumn As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridColumn = Nothing

  Private m_LastSortColumnWidth As Integer

  Private Sub UltraGrid1_BeforeSortChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.BeforeSortChangeEventArgs) Handles UltraGrid1.BeforeSortChange
    Try
      Me.UltraGrid1.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor

      For Each column As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridColumn In e.SortedColumns
        ' Ignore group by columns created by user dragging a column header
        ' on to or off of the run time group by tray.
        If Not column.IsGroupByColumn Then
          If m_LastSortColumn IsNot Nothing Then
            ' Restore the old width without the sort glyph.
            Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(e.Band.Index).Columns(m_LastSortColumn.Key).Width = m_LastSortColumnWidth
          End If

          ' Save the current value.
          m_LastSortColumn = Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(e.Band.Index).Columns(column.Key)
          m_LastSortColumnWidth = m_LastSortColumn.Width
        End If
      Next
    Catch ex As Exception
      Throw
    End Try
  End Sub 'UltraGrid1_BeforeSortChange

  Private Sub UltraGrid1_AfterSortChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.BandEventArgs) Handles UltraGrid1.AfterSortChange
    Try
      ' Only save last column if sort glyph caused the column width to be resized.
      If m_LastSortColumnWidth >= m_LastSortColumn.CalculateAutoResizeWidth(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.PerformAutoSizeType.None, includeHeader:=True) Then
        m_LastSortColumn = Nothing
      Else
        ' Resize the current column to include the sort glyph.
        Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(e.Band.Index).Columns(m_LastSortColumn.Key).Width = m_LastSortColumn.CalculateAutoResizeWidth(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.PerformAutoSizeType.None, includeHeader:=True)
      End If

      Me.UltraGrid1.Cursor = Cursors.Default
    Catch ex As Exception
      Throw
    End Try
  End Sub 'UltraGrid1_AfterSortChange

Well, I would probably use the AfterSortChange event. You can check what the sorting on the column was before it changed and after it changed and see if it went from no sorting to sorted and then re-size the column only in that one case.
