DatagidView Formatting Lost on Sort

mountainyman

VB.net
I have a datagrid view to which formatting is applied at runtime. When I click the column header the grid sorts as expected. However I can't reapply this formatting.

I am tring to reapply the formatting from the click event.

If you add the formatting onItem_DataBound I think it should be ok..

Where are you applying the formatting in the first place?

I am applying it on the initial load of the form. The datagrid is populated from a stored procedure.

        LoadGrid()

        AllFormatting()

That's the pattern.

You have to recall your AllFormating method within your Sorted method.

OK but I am just using the standard sort (by clicking on the column header) I call my fromat method from repaint

    Private Sub PAINT(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ 
 ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)  _ 
 HandlesMygrid.Paint
    
    AllFormatting()

    End Sub

The formatting is reapplied but shows a screen flicker as it happens.
