Seeing order of gridview columns

I've got a tough one (at least for me!). I have a gridview control which is actually from ComponentOne but most is the same as the normal gridview. It has a feature that lets me move columns around so they are in different order. I want to be able to click a button and see the order of these columns and which ones are visible. This is to be used for a custom report I am generating.

Does anyone know how to find out what columns are visible and in what order? I'm doing it in VB coding for asp.net.

Thanks!

it might be very easy task using jQuery, post the table markup and i'll try to help you.

You should check out the documentation for the product... does it have a client side API at all? Probably something you will have to accomplish with JavaScript as motil said.

Is this feature to be used for designing the report or for the actual report itself? Because surely if the columns are reordered, the user can see that they've been reordered, as the user is the person who did it? :confused:
