WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.CreateBehavior(Of Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.ColumnMoving)()
WebDataGrid™ allows column moving. To move a column, the end-user should left click with the mouse and drag the header to the desired position. A drag indicator appears as the end-user drags the column and the column moves to the new location as soon as the mouse click is released. The grid scrolls columns into view as the column is moved over the last visible column to the left or right.
You can add column moving behavior on the WebDataGrid through the designer or using the Microsoft® Visual Studio® Property Window or by using the following code:
In Visual Basic:
WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.CreateBehavior(Of Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.ColumnMoving)()In C#:
WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.CreateBehavior<Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.ColumnMoving>();
The column can be dragged in the following two different styles :
Slide — The drag markup remains fixed on the Y axis.
Follow — The drag markup follows the mouse.
You can set the drag style through the designer or the property window or through the following code:
In Visual Basic:
WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.ColumnMoving.DragStyle = Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.HeaderDragStyle.Follow
In C#:
WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.ColumnMoving.DragStyle = Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.HeaderDragStyle.Follow;
Follow these steps to enable column moving by using the WebDataGrid Designer.
From the Visual Studio™ Toolbox, drag and drop a ScriptManager component and a WebDataGrid control onto the form.
Bind WebDataGrid to a SqlDataSource component retrieving data from the Customers table. Retrieve the CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName, and ContactTitle data. For more information on doing this, see the Getting Started with WebDataGrid topic.
