DataControlBase.RestoreStateKeyFieldName Property

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v21.1.Core.dll

Declaration

public string RestoreStateKeyFieldName { get; set; }

Public Property RestoreStateKeyFieldName As String

Property Value

Remarks

Set the DataControlBase.RestoreStateOnSourceChange property to true to retain the control’s select, focus, check, and group states when a new ItemsSource is assigned.

<dxg:GridControl Name="grid" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" AutoGenerateColumns="AddNew" SelectionMode="Row" 
                 RestoreStateOnSourceChange="True" RestoreStateKeyFieldName="ID">
    <dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:TableView />
    </dxg:GridControl.View>
</dxg:GridControl>

public class ViewModel : ViewModelBase {
    public ObservableCollection<Item> Items {
        get { return GetValue<ObservableCollection<Item>>(nameof(Items)); }
        private set { SetValue(value, nameof(Items)); }
    }
}
public class Item : BindableBase {
    public string Name {
        get { return GetValue<string>(nameof(Name)); }
        set { SetValue(value, nameof(Name)); }
    }
    public int ID { 
        get { return GetValue<int>(nameof(ID)); }
        set { SetValue(value, nameof(ID)); }
    }      
    public int GroupID {
        get { return GetValue<int>(nameof(GroupID)); }
        set { SetValue(value, nameof(GroupID)); }
    }
} 

Requirements

• The current and new sources should have the same column sets (the same properties).

• If the RestoreStateKeyFieldName property is not specified, the GridControl uses the Object.Equals method to compare objects. You should override this method. If you use the TreeListView, override the Object.GetHashCode method additionally.

  • C#

  public class Item : BindableBase {
      public string Name {
          get { return GetValue<string>(nameof(Name)); }
          set { SetValue(value, nameof(Name)); }
      }
      public int ID { 
          get { return GetValue<int>(nameof(ID)); }
          set { SetValue(value, nameof(ID)); }
      }      
      public int GroupID {
          get { return GetValue<int>(nameof(GroupID)); }
          set { SetValue(value, nameof(GroupID)); }
      }
      public override bool Equals(object obj) {
          Item item = obj as Item;
          if(item == null) return false;
          return item.ID == ID;
      }
      public override int GetHashCode() {
          return ID.GetHashCode();
      }
  }
