Unfortunately, the right button context menu is built specifically for EVERY grid in Adagio (the menu choices change depending on the buttons displayed). Also, not all Grids have a right button context menu at all.

Adding a choice to this menu requires visiting every form with a Grid and adding code. Not a pleasant task (mechanical as it might be.)

Different Grids behave differently, and our is no different in that regard! Double clicking on a column sorts a list of files in Explorer, but doesn't sort a column of numbers in Excel (but does in GridView).

Our Grid control is an original feature of Adagio, dating back to 1998, when customized columns were very rare. It has undergone significant improvements over the decade, and I'm sure that there is room for more.

However, we're looking for a way that can be made once to the Control that will then propagate through all the applications as they are released.

Oh yes, and I'm sure that whatever approach we might decide to take, you wouldn't want the indicator if the user does not have rights to change the Grid columns - right?
