datagrid, header, click

[wooz]

How to read value of the clicked datagrid header. I can obtain only
information about column number of clicked header. Column header seams not
to be ordinary cell, so DataGrid.CurrentCell is usless in this case.
Any suggestions ?

To test that user clicked on the header column you should use
dataGrid.HitTest method in DataGrid Click event handler:

Point p = dataGrid.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition);
DataGrid.HitTestInfo hti = dataGrid.HitTest(p.X, p.Y);
if (hti.Type == DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnHeader)
{
MessageBox.Show("Clicked:" + hti.Column);
}

when you recieved column number you can get header text like this:

MessageBox.Show(dataGrid.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[hti.Column].HeaderText);

You need to hit-test the grid. See my sample here:

Look at the part of the code where SortGrid is invoked in response to header
