This topic applies to the following WinEditor™ controls:
WinComboEditor™
WinFontNameEditor™
By default, the WinEditor controls do not sort the items in the drop-down list; however, by setting the SortStyle property, items in the list can be sorted in either ascending or descending order. Since the items in the drop-down list can have a value that is separate and distinct from the text it displays, the SortStyle property supports sorting by either the value or the text of the item.
The following code demonstrates how to sort the items in the drop-down list by the item’s display text:
In Visual Basic:
Imports Infragistics.Win ... Private Sub UltraCheckEditor1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UltraCheckEditor1.CheckedChanged ' Sort the items in the list in ascending order, using the item's ' display text as the sort criteria Me.UltraComboEditor1.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.AscendingByValue End Sub
In C#:
using Infragistics.Win;
...
private void ultraCheckEditor1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Sort the items in the list in ascending order, using the item's
// display text as the sort criteria
this.ultraComboEditor1.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.AscendingByValue;
}
Unsorted the drop-down list looks like the following.
When you check the checkbox, the list is now sorted an looks like the following.
