Example

This snippet demonstrates how to use the GroupByMode and SortComparisonType properties.

Visual Basic

Private Sub SetupGrid()
   ' If the user groups by the Orders column then the groupings should be built like they are when
   ' a DateTime column is grouped in Microsoft Outlook 2003.
   '
   Me.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands("Orders").Columns("DateReceived").GroupByMode = GroupByMode.OutlookDate
   
   ' If the user groups by the LastName column then the groupings should be based on only the first letter
   ' of the customer's last name.
   '
   Me.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands("Customers").Columns("LastName").GroupByMode = GroupByMode.FirstCharacter
   
   ' The LastName column should not use case sensitive comparisons when sorting/grouping.
   '
   Me.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands("Customers").Columns("LastName").SortComparisonType = SortComparisonType.CaseInsensitive
   
   ' The rest of the text columns should use case-sensitive sorts.  This is the default behavior.
   '
   Me.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.SortComparisonType = SortComparisonType.CaseSensitive
End Sub

C#

private void SetupGrid()
{
	// If the user groups by the Orders column then the groupings should be built like they are when
	// a DateTime column is grouped in Microsoft Outlook 2003.
	//
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands["Orders"].Columns["DateReceived"].GroupByMode = GroupByMode.OutlookDate;

	// If the user groups by the LastName column then the groupings should be based on only the first letter
	// of the customer's last name.
	//
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands["Customers"].Columns["LastName"].GroupByMode = GroupByMode.FirstCharacter;

	// The LastName column should not use case sensitive comparisons when sorting/grouping.
	//
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands["Customers"].Columns["LastName"].SortComparisonType = SortComparisonType.CaseInsensitive;

	// The rest of the text columns should use case-sensitive sorts.  This is the default behavior.
	//
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.SortComparisonType = SortComparisonType.CaseSensitive;
