Hello,

I am using a DatGridView in virtual mode and unbound data where i listen for
CellValueNeeded events to fill the grid with data. I also want to sort the
data by pressing on the columns which is why i listen to
ColumnHeaderMouseClick as well. It works fine, but the problem is that the
sorting glyph (i.e. the sorting order triangle image) is not visible on the
column header if the column size is too small.

I have tried all the AutoFill options available for the column size/width
but none of them seem to be working. The sorting glyph "length" is simply
ignored and
column width is not adapted to include to glyph (i have to manually resize
the column size to see the glyph).

Is there any automatic way of handling this or do i have to calculate the
column width manually by taking into consern the column header text length,
font size and so on?
 
Hi Toha,
The sorting glyph "length" is simply ignored and column width is not
Click to expand...
adapted to include to glyph (i have to manually resize the column size to
see the glyph).

I suggest that you set the AutoSizeColumnsMode property of the DataGridView
to DisplayedCells to see if the problem is solved.

If the problem is still not solved, please feel free to let me know.

DisplayedCells makes columns too wide.

How to show sort glyph or any other visual sort order indicator for narrow
columns ?

Andrus.
 
Hi Linda,

I did post you an answer but now i see that it is not there, strange!

Anyway, the AutoSizeColumnMode did not help when i changed to
DisplayedCells, but what i noticed is that if you put the minimum width of
the column header to be the size/width of the text+1, then the glyph is
shown. That is the way i am using it now, it seems to be working...

Best regards,
Toha.
 
Hi Toha,

Thank you for your feedback on how you solved the problem successfully! I'm
glad to hear that the problem is solved now.

Setting AutoSizeColumnMode property to DisplayedCells may not working well
in your real project, but it does work well in my test project.

If you have any other questions in the future, please don't hesitate to
contact us. It's always our pleasure to be of assistance!

Have a good day!
