[RESOLVED] gridview headers unclickable

My gridview columns are generated from SQL query like select * from table;

Any way I can disable the headers/ make them unclickable preventing user think he can sort by clicking them.

The header row should not be clickable by default. Can you show your gridview markup? 

Never mind I have sorting set to true. Thats why I see clickable

Set AllowSorting to false.

hi sushsudh ,

From what I understand  that you want to disable the headers and  make them unclickable.

I would suggest you to follow the workground:

To cancel sorting, set off the GridColumn.OptionsColumn.AllowSort property. Also, you can cancel filtering in the GridColumn's OptionsFilter.

You can do it at run-time as shown below:

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns;

private void DisableColumnHeaders()

{

    foreach (GridColumn column in this.gridView1.Columns)

    {

        column.OptionsColumn.AllowSort = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;

        column.OptionsFilter.AllowAutoFilter = false;

        column.OptionsFilter.AllowFilter = false;

    }

}

And the last step: you can disable column header hottracking. Handle the GridView's CustomDrawColumnHeader event:

private void gridView1_CustomDrawColumnHeader(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.ColumnHeaderCustomDrawEventArgs e)

{

    e.Info.State = DevExpress.Utils.Drawing.ObjectState.Normal;

}

Please let me know if this solution meets your requirements.
