SortType Enumeration

Used to specify the type of sorting performed on the nodes collection.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Enum SortType 
   Inherits System.Enum

C#

public enum SortType : System.Enum 

Members

Member	Description
Ascending	Sort Ascending. Nodes will be sorted in ascending order.
Default	Use Default. The setting of the object's parent will be used.
Descending	Sort Descending. Nodes will be sorted in descending order.
None	Sort None. Nodes will not be sorted.

Example

The following sample code illustrates how to specify the sort order of nodes.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTree

Private Sub button10_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button10.Click

    ' Note: the Override objects are exposed as properties off
    ' the tree, the node and the nodes collection as well as
    ' items in the NodeLevelOverrides collection. This allows
    ' default settings to be specified for the tree, a node, 
    ' a node's children or for a level in the tree.

    ' Use the tree's Override property to
    ' set the default for all nodes.
    Me.ultraTree1.Override.Sort = SortType.Descending

    ' You can optionally provide your own object that 
    ' implements the System.Collections.IComparer interface.
    ' Note: differnt comparers can be specified at 
    ' various levels/parent nodes in the tree.
    'Me.ultraTree1.Override.SortComparer = new MySortComparer()

    ' Set the default for nodes that are at level 2 
    ' (i.e. grandchild nodes of root modes).
    ' This overrides the default setting above.
    Me.ultraTree1.NodeLevelOverrides(2).Sort = SortType.Ascending

    ' Set the default for nodes at the root level. 
    ' This overrides the default settings above.
    Me.ultraTree1.Nodes.Override.Sort = SortType.None

    Dim node As UltraTreeNode

    ' Get a specific node by its key value. 
    ' Note: this will return the node that has that key
    ' from anywhere in the tree structure since keys are
    ' unique across the entire tree.
    node = Me.ultraTree1.GetNodeByKey("child node 1")

    ' Set the property for that specific node only.
    ' This overrides any default settings above.
    node.Override.Sort = SortType.Ascending

    ' Set the property for that specific node's child nodes
    node.Nodes.Override.Sort = SortType.Ascending

End Sub
