For a C# 2005DataGridView, I need to keep a particular row of data fixed at position 0. It doesn't matter to meif it scrolls out of the display area if the user scrolls down, or if it stays "frozen" at the top of the grid.

It seems the best way to do this is to use the Row.Frozen property.

Therefore, if I set Rows[0].Frozen = true, the first row in the DataGridView is frozen, which is what I want. However, if the user presses the sort header and resorts the grid, the previously frozen row is sorted to someplace else, and a different row becomes frozen. Also, if they enter data into the row, it is sorted to another location. How can I keep the same exact row frozen in position [0] regardless of the sort? I do not want to disable sorting, as that is needed for all rows except Row[0].

Since my Grid is bound to a DataTable as the datasource, I could modify the data by adding a hidden column and forcing the particular row to always be sorted to index 0, but I do not want to modify the data source or add any additional columns.

For example, is there someway to override the default sort method to ignore a row?, etc. Custom sorting seems to be not allowed when bound to a datasource.

Frozen property doesn't know anything about the data in the rows. Your solution for adding a hidden column is the only way. When databound the DataGridView doesn't perform any sort -- it asks the datasource to sort, so there isn't really much of a way to override the default sort.

I want exactly the same for a fixedrow filter much like in Excel.

I use Syncfusion grid at the moment, this handles it well. The frozen rows essentially become the extended header area. Sorting does not interfere with it.

I've been asked to move away from Syncfusion. The only way I can replicate what I've done here is to enlarge the vertical header area and render a drop down combox neatly at the bottom of the header row. This will giveme the desired results coupled with some laborious coding to simulate the combo. But of course I will need to make sure the header/caption text is shown correctly,so Iwill code this manually and override the default rendering.

It's also right pain not having multisort on the grid, so I'll have to manually code this and again render my 3 level sorting glyphs. All in all Syncfusion Grid is stillsuperior.

Another way I was thing of creating an inherited class that performs the mapping manually override the data bound base behaviors. This is a big job for a simple effect.

I would like just a little more clarification on this topic if we may.I have a datagridview that the rows and columns are completely built by me (through code, not bound to any data source).

Is it possible to freeze the first row and have the column sorting NOT sort the frozen row?

Is it possible to achieve the same behavior of making a column frozen in VS 2003 - Winforms DataGrid?

right now I need to achieve thisrequirementusing VB.NET 1.1
