Is there a sort event that gets called after the grid is sorted. I would like to use this to move the highlight to the first row in the grid, instead of following the currently highlighted row. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

You can handle the CollectionChanged on the SortDescriptions of your view in order to implement a sort event that gets called after the grid is sorted.

For example:

protected override void OnInitialized( EventArgs e )
{
  base.OnInitialized( e );
  DataGridCollectionView view = this.OrdersGrid.ItemsSource as DataGridCollectionView;

  ( ( INotifyCollectionChanged )view.SortDescriptions ).CollectionChanged +=
                                      new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler( this.SortCollectionChanged );
}
private void SortCollectionChanged( object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e )
{
  Debug.WriteLine( "Sort changed" );
}

The information was taken from the online documentation at: http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/XceedWpfDataGrid/Sorting_Data.html.

Thank you for your speedy response. But when I try this I get an error that says, "Cannot change or check the contents or Current position of CollectionView while Refresh is being deferred." Do you know how I can get around this?

Thank you,

Carlos

Attempting to change the current item whilst the grid is being sorted will generate this exception.

There is a very easy work around using BeginInvoke on the dispatcher, which allows for the sorting to complete before moving to the first item in the collection.

private void SortCollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridCollectionView view = OrdersGrid.ItemsSource as DataGridCollectionView;
    OrdersGrid.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)delegate()
    {
        view.MoveCurrentToFirst();
    }, DispatcherPriority.Render, null);
}
