    Adding a Custom Sort Dialog
    In This Topic

    You can add a custom sort dialog in the enhanced row filter. The custom sort dialog allows you to add multiple sort keys and specify what to sort on.

    Custom Sort Dialog

    You can also specify the sorting behavior with the AutoSortEnhancedMode property.

    Using Code

    1. Set the AutoFilterMode property to EnhancedContextMenu.
    2. Set the AutoSortEnhancedContextMenu property to true.
    3. Set the AllowAutoFilter property for the columns to be filtered.
    4. Set the AllowAutoSort property for the columns to be sorted.

    Example

    This example adds the custom sort dialog option.

    C#
    Copy Code
    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = FarPoint.Win.Spread.AutoFilterMode.EnhancedContextMenu;
                    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.AutoSortEnhancedContextMenu = true;
                    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[0].AllowAutoFilter = true;
                    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[0].AllowAutoSort = true;
                    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[1].AllowAutoFilter = true;
                    fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[1].AllowAutoSort = true;
