My Laszlo application makes use of a Grid to display information derived
from XML. On if the columns in the grid is a date/time stamp. However,
the text of the timestamp isn't easily sortable so when a user clicks on
the Date column, the rows don't sort in the correct manner. Is there a
way to alter the sorting mechanism for a particular column to use a
different algorithm? For example, my XML could provide a numeric
timestamp which would be easier to sort, but I don't want to display that
value. When the user clicked the column, I would want to sort based on
this other value, not the value displayed in the column. Can this be
done? Is there an example somewhere of how this is done?
My second Grid question involves the display of information in each of the
columns. Is there an easy way to change the font/fontstyle for the items
displayed in a particular row? For example, I may be displaying 4 columns
of information and by default the text in each column is bold. When the
user clicks on the row, I want to change the text to non-bold. Is there
an easy way to change the text characteristics for all of the columns of
the selected row, or do I need to iterate over each of the columns,
changing the text characteristic for each column separately?
Thanks!
