Selection not working with disabled sorting [message #1065560]

Hi,

I am using tree grid in my application. I have enabled sorting on specific columns using the "SORT" and "NOSORT" labels and assigning DefaultComparator and NullComparator for those lables. This works pefectly fine except that I am not able to click on the column header on the columns that does not have sorting. I would like the option to click on the column header so that the entire column can be selected(I have some functionalities to apply on selected cells and this would make it easier). But since the sorting is disabled, clicking the cell there does not have any effect and even selection does not work. The same behavior can be seen on the SortableGridExample on the Ask Column.

Well, looking at the example you mentioned, there is also no column selection performed on sorting one of the other columns. This is because you configure that the SortColumnAction should be performed on single click a column header cell (this is done in the SingleClickSortConfiguration).

If you want to combine sorting AND column selection on single click you potentially need to implement your own IMouseAction that does both, calling the SortColumnCommand AND the ViewportSelectColumnCommand and configure it as first single click binding instead using the SingleClickSortConfiguration

Okay. I understand that the SingleClickSortConfiguration removes the selection binding. Is it possible to configure SingleClickConfiguration only for specific columns, i.e only for the columns that have sorting enabled? And for other columns where I have disabled sorting(through labels and NullComparator), I do not want the SingleClickConfiguration. I do not want to combine them. In the columns where I have Sorting enabled I do not want the entire column selection functionality.
