DataGridColumn.DisplayIndex Property

Definition

Gets or sets the display position of the column relative to the other columns in the DataGrid.

public:
 property int DisplayIndex { int get(); void set(int value); };
public int DisplayIndex { get; set; }
member this.DisplayIndex : int with get, set
Public Property DisplayIndex As Integer

Property Value

The zero-based position of the column, as it is displayed in the associated DataGrid. The registered default is -1. For information about what can influence the value, see DependencyProperty.

Remarks

The DisplayIndex property has a default value of -1 before it is added to the DataGrid.Columns collection. This value is updated when the column is added to the DataGrid.

The DataGrid requires that the DisplayIndex property of each column must be a unique integer from 0 to the Count of Columns -1. Therefore, when the DisplayIndex of one column changes, the change typically causes the DisplayIndex of other columns to also change.

The restrictions on the DisplayIndex value are enforced by a ValidateValueCallback mechanism. If you attempt to set a value that is not valid, a run-time exception is thrown.

When the value of the DisplayIndex property is changed, the DataGrid.ColumnDisplayIndexChanged event is raised.
