I am currently facing an issue related to implement sorting and filtering on an unbound field,
The Unbound fied contains icons which is displayed based on datatriggers (similar approach in http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/josh_smith/archive/2008/09/06/display-multiple-icons-in-a-xamdatagrid-field.aspx). The issue is, on click of the label, sorting is not happening.
Is it an issue with the cellvaluepresenter unable to identify the icons?
Hello Milan,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and the sample Josh attached in his blog and I can say that the result you get is expected, because the UnboundField that is used to show the icons doesn’t have Data and isn’t bound to any of the underlying object’s Properties. Also I can say that the sorting in the XamDataGrid relies on the Values in the Cells and since the Cells with the icons doesn’t have Cells, you are not able to sort them.
Hope this helps you.
So that means we would not be able to sort this Unbound field. correct?
