This sample demonstrates how to sort the data items in a grid both programmatically and through the UI as well as how to disable sorting through UI interaction. It specifically demonstrates how to:
- Create an implicit style that targets DataCell
- Make the grid read-only (see ReadOnly property)
- Prevent columns from being automatically created (see AutoCreateColumns property)
- Manually define columns (see Columns property and Column class)
- Define how the grid is initially sorted (see SortDescriptions property)
- Configure various column settings including:
- Changing the title that is displayed in the column headers (see Title class)
- Changing the width (see Width property)
- Preventing sorting (see AllowSort property)
- Changing how the cell content is displayed by providing a new DataTemplate (see CellContentTemplate property)
- Providing a custom group description (see DataGridGroupDescription class) that defines, though its associated group configuration (see DataGridGroupConfiguration class) how the group value is displayed in the group headers (see GroupValueTemplate property)
- Add a notification control (see NotificationControl class) to the fixed footer section (see FixedFooters property)
- Remove and add new sort descriptions to the sort-descriptions collection (see SortDescriptions property)
