Custom Sort in SourceGrid3

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi,

I need do a custom sort on a column, which display images. Could you please let me know how I do that, and if possible provide me with a sample.

I am using the SourceGrid3.Grid class.

Thanks

Hi,

figured it out myself

Implemented the IComparer interface like :

public class ImageComparer : IComparer 
    {

        // Calls CaseInsensitiveComparer.Compare
        int IComparer.Compare( Object x, Object y ) 
        {
            SourceGrid3.Cells.Real.Image imgX = (SourceGrid3.Cells.Real.Image)x;
            SourceGrid3.Cells.Real.Image imgY = (SourceGrid3.Cells.Real.Image)y;
       
            return( (new CaseInsensitiveComparer()).Compare(imgX.Tag.ToString(), imgY.Tag.ToString()) );
        }

    }

and set the SortComparer for the SourceGrid3.Cells.Real.ColumnHeader object to an instance of the above.

What I am doing here is using the Tag to store the data to compare for the column with images.

Useful when you want to display images for boolean columns e.g. show a 'tick' image if true else display a 'cross' image if false.
