SortStyle Property (ValueList)

Returns or sets a value that determines how valuelistitems will be sorted in a valuelist.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property SortStyle As ValueListSortStyle

C#

public virtual ValueListSortStyle SortStyle {get; set;}

Remarks

This property is used to alphabetically sort the valuelistitems in a valuelist.

Valuelistitems are sorted based on their display text, which is set by the DisplayText property, not their data value.

When valuelistitems are sorted, their order in the ValueListItems collection does not actually change, only the order in which they are displayed to the user.

Example

This sample creates a valuelist with four items. It initializes its appearance and selected index, sorts it by dataValue, and assigns it to the first column of the grid.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Win

Private Sub CreateValueList()

    Dim list As ValueList = New ValueList()

    list.ValueListItems.Add(1, "One")
    list.ValueListItems.Add(2, "Two")
    list.ValueListItems.Add(3, "Three")
    list.ValueListItems.Add(4, "Four")
    list.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Green
    list.SelectedIndex = 2
    list.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.AscendingByValue

    Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(0).ValueList = list
    Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns(0).Style = UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.DropDownList

End Sub

C#

using Infragistics.Win;

private void CreateValueList()
{

	ValueList list = new ValueList();

	list.ValueListItems.Add(1,"One");
	list.ValueListItems.Add(2,"Two");
	list.ValueListItems.Add(3,"Three");
	list.ValueListItems.Add(4,"Four");
	list.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Green;
	list.SelectedIndex = 2;
	list.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.AscendingByValue ;

	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[0].ValueList = list;
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[0].Style = UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.DropDownList ;

}
