Question

I have two list of Parameters, where you can move them between the two (include or not) and I want to customize the order of the Parameters to simplify the selection.

I am currently using a ListBox with multiple selection, but I want it to have a group by feature to group by category, A-Z or custom sort like a propertyGrid.

Is there a component that can do all of those? What settings do I need to set on that component?

Answer 1

I would use a ListView which supports groups like it does in the Windows Explorer views.

check this one: How to: Group Items in a Windows Forms ListView Control

so in short, you first create a group:

// Adds a new group that has a left-aligned header
listView1.Groups.Add(new ListViewGroup("List item text",
    HorizontalAlignment.Left));

then you add items to a group for example here the item 0 is added to the group:

// Adds the first item to the first group
listView1.Items[0].Group = listView1.Groups[0];
