[BUG] V13.3.0 Issues [61] Solved [31]

I believe creating a list is best thing to do, so other members are able to see what is wrong (don't get me wrong, RC is one of THE best CodeJock control, so it's not for pointing fingers) I hope many members will reply inhere so we can have a bugfree V14.0    Please do !!!

1. MaximumWidth property for columns doesn't work. You can still resize column.
2.  When .Column.Sortable = False, the sort Icon is showing when the column is added to groupbox. [SOLVED in V13.3.1]
3. SortIcon too far to the right side of the columnheader (also in Groupbox button) [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > Still not working, submitted Issue] [Fixed for V15.0]
4.  SortIcon doesn't show when .HeaderAlignment = xtpAlignmentRight [Seems solved in V13.4.2]
5. When adding column with default width and .MinimumWidth is set to value larger than the default width you get weird behaviour when trying to resize column again. It looks kindof strange that the splitter on the right is positioned on .MinimumWidth value. Would be better to check .MinimumWidth first when creating column. Same behaviour for .MaximumWidth (this isn't really a bug but it looked a little strange, minor issue is, we have to check the width ourselves when creating columns, that's all). 
6.  RC redraw isn't working properly... If you scroll to columns beyond visible RC portion, the grouprow lines are cut off. [Fixed for V15.0]
7.  Can't edit cells anymore. For now you have to set .CanEditCheckboxItem = True when adding RecordItems [SOLVED in V13.3.1]
8.  When .IconView set to False the column order changes (everytime!!!)  [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 - [SOLVED in V13.4.0]
9. If you would call a function in ItemChecked event what is taking a longer time to process and if MeasureRow event is used to set height of grouprows and/or rows the original height is used to draw items. After processing the RC isn't redrawn properly. Is there something we can do to prevent this?
10.  BeforeDrawRow discussion: I hope you don't forget this and would be nice if we could have somekind of solution... 
11. ShowItemsInGroups doesn't work anymore, seems you have to set property wndReportControl.Columns(0).Sortable = True + wndReportControl.Columns(0).Groupable = True  otherwise it doesn't work. I will try this with previous version because I think this is not the only problem... SOLVED in V13.4 but with remark
12. Testing issue 11. I also saw that last column is "locked" when scrolled to last column. The column can't be clicked or dragged. It looks like that the SortIcon has to be visible otherwise it's locked????? Yes, I know this sounds weird but it does... [Because last column wasn't sortable and Groupable, Issue 11 is responsable for this behaviour]
13.  Checkbox Icon in Grouprow (.UseGroupRowSelectionState = True) is positioned to much to the left (See image 13a) [Fixed for V15.0]
14.  Tooltip columns shows <SortByText><Column name> + \Ascending In previous version it didn't... Mistake or implemented? If mistake please remove it, else please add property and allow user to change text in their own language. [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 - properties SortByIncreasingText + SortByDecreasingText added - SOLVED in V13.4.0]
15. Tooltip columns shows only <Column name> even when .Sortable = true.
16. If method .SetupIconView is called again weird things happen with RC. Does the iconview setup get removed when records and/or columns are deleted? Please destroy it when columns are removed from RC. [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 -Method SetIconViewToDefaults added [SOLVED in V13.4 , but with Remark see Remark 16]
17. Scrollbars calculation with .IconView doesn't work properly. Scrollbars still shows even when entire contents is visible after clicking in RC area scrollbar disappears. Guess internal redraw will calculate scrollbars position and size again...  [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > Still not working, submitted Issue]
18. When HeaderAlignment = xtpAlignmentRight Or xtpAlignmentIconLeft, the icon is placed on the left of the text and not on the left side of the column as in previous version does. @Baldur
19. When the sorticon is visible, DrawSortTriangleAlways = True and the column is too small to draw the entire text, the place from the sorticon is calculated twice, what I mean is, the room between the three dots and the sorticon is as wide as an icon. The text is than too short (I guess). Than, what I don't understand is the difference between  DrawSortTriangleAlways and DrawSortTriangleStyle. If I set DrawSortTriangleAlways = True, it won't work. If I set DrawSortTriangleStyle = xtpReportDrawSortTriangleAlways, that works. Why do I need properties for this? @Baldur
20.  When I set ShowNonActiveInPlaceButton = True, the buttons are shown correct, but this is not usefull. The user must click twice on the buttons. The first click fires RequestEdit-event, the second click fires than InplaceButtonDown-event. I think, the reportcontrol must fire then InplaceButtonDown immediatly after the RequestEdit and do the work. At the moment, the ShowNonActiveInPlaceButton is not functionable for an user. @Baldur [SOLVED] See explanation in this post.
21. Expanding columns through code with .Expanded property doesn't work @keepITcool
22. I have also found that the behaviour in v11.2.1 for drawing the column sort triangle can not be duplicated in v13.3.1 regardless of any combination of the report control paint manager properties DrawSortTriangleAlways (TRUE or FALSE)  or  DrawSortTriangleStyle(Always, Never, Default) @Guy1
23. When editing the contents of a cell, the Enter Key doesn't appear to have any effect (and I can't trap the KeyDown event). This prevents the user from hitting 'Enter' if after they've typed in the desirable cell contents (in order to indicate they they've finished entering data in that cell).
24.  PreviewItem seems to be broken - @keepITcool 
25.  AllowSelectionCheck seems only to be working when the checkbox has been checked with LeftMouseButton first, after this you are able to check/uncheck with RightMouseButton [Fixed for V15.0]
26.  With .HeaderAlignment = xtpAlignmentRight the sorticon isn't showing. If I'm not mistaken in V13.1 (or V13.0) the sorticon shows and caption will be repositioned to the left. Would like to see that again :) [Fixed for V15.0]
27.  When setting Plus/Minus sign for a column the sortIcon is painted over Plus/Minus Icon when you don't set new property .SortTriangleOffsetFromRight. I don't want to keep track which columnheader has plus/minus sign to position the sorticon. Please look into previous version :)  [Fixed for V15.0]
28.  When ReportItem with checkbox & Editable = True, the checkbox disappears while editing. If I'm correct this wasn't the case in V13.3.0 or earlier. [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > Still not working, submitted Issue > [Fixed for V15.0]
29.  When ReportItem with Icon & Editable = True, the Icon disappears while editing. Same for Metrics.Icon. I'm sure this worked because of "major" discussion with Mark. WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4.0
30.   It looks like the MouseUp event doesn't fire when the mouse is over a group row. @jpbro -  WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4.0
31.  Drag&Drop doesn't seem to working with dropping rows in other group only dropping inside own group @Fabian - Seems this is by design and it is up to the developer to rearrange rows, see same post.  
32.   Automatic tooltip shows unnecessarily when cell text contains newline characters. @jpbro - WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4.0
33.   Automatic tooltip doesn't support newline characters (appear as boxes) @jpbro -  WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4.0
34. In compiled exe dynamic formula evaluates an integer when it should not (sum result should be decimal) and replaces regional decimal separator "," to ".". Different formating options do not help. @roMi
35. With IconView = True, sometimes the vertical scrollbar is showing but it's disabled... I have a contextmenu and after rightclick all items disappear. I think RC is trying to scroll to next row (internal) like with ordinary rows and because of IconView there isn't a last row??? Scrollbar is still disabled and you cannot see the icons, only resizing RC will restore this behaviour.
36.  Sometimes Item.Caption is outside selection rectangle with .IconView = True. [Fixed for V15.0]
37. Position of the treeline and the position of the childitem checkbox isn't OK @Tobi - [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4] Still in progress...
38.  Method .ExpandAll, when no rows are present, causes Access Violation !!!! [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4.0
39. With wndReportControl.PaintManager.UseGroupRowSelectionState = True the checkbox of first grouprow disappears when child of second grouprow is selected with arrow keys. To reproduce use CJ Report sample (Treeview dialog)
    • Add wndReportControl.ShowGroupbox = True
    • wndReportControl.PaintManager.UseGroupRowSelectionState = True
    • Run sample
    • Drag Sent & Subject to Groupbox
    • Select first grouprow
    • Arrow down (checkbox GroupRowSelectionState is NOT visible anymore)
    • Arrow down (checkbox GroupRowSelectionState is visible again)
40. Just wondering: If I add constraints to a combobox (in an editable ReportItem), should it automatically select proper constraint when typing characters into ReportItem?
41. Just wondering again: I would like to change the GroupCaption of a GroupRow... How, where and when? And would like an immediate update...
42.  If %-sign is typed into a ReportItem, it will be accepted. But if an item already contains %-signs, these disappear on start edit. @Baldur [WILL BE SOLVED in V13.4 > SOLVED in V13.4]
43. Expand/collapse sign disappears when having an ItemControlbutton with Parent Record @Baldur
    • To reproduce:
    • Add a column as treecolumn and set the Alignment = xtpAlignmentIconRight
    • Add record and childrecords (you see the tree-button on the right)
    • Add an ItemControlButton to parentrecord .Alignment = xtpAlignmentRight
    • Expand/Collapse sign isn't showing anymore !!!
44.  MergeCells feature doesn't work correct @robirenz [Fixed for 15.1] Completely re-designed
45. Tooltip doesn't show on grouped columns
46. Just wondering again: If Iconview is set, should tooltip show automatically? Or do we have to set tooltip manually?
47.  Bestfit doesn't calculate columnwidth right when having an icon in the header (IF ReportItem contents is less than the column caption) [Fixed for 15.0]
48.  Setting both .ShowLockIcon = True and .UseShellIcon = True causes major problems. Skin of several controls will be detached!!! FYI: the number of USER objects (See Processes in Windows TaskManager) will increase everytime the form is sized, until about 3000 at that time the problems are "showing" [Fixed for V15.0]
49.  GPF generated when calling UpdateRecord in FocusChanging event @Stilki [Fixed for V15.0]
50. Just wondering again: Why are ItemControls treated differently as InplaceButtons (button, combo & spin) @MarkMark
51.  Removing ItemControls causes a crash (at some point) when mouse is over RecordItem @Coltu [Fixed for V15.0]
52. CreateRowNumberColumn doesn't work OK with DataBinding feature. Column disappears when selecting another table @SHAN
53.  PrintPreview subtotals not in right position @charlest [Fixed for V15.0]
54. When setting wndReportControl.PaintManager.FixedRowHeight = False BEFORE setting wndReportControl.SetCustomDraw xtpCustomBeforeDrawRow the rowheight isn't automatically resized to it's contents anymore @Fabian
55.  Landscape not working in createprintview @Lodep59 Solution: Me.PrintPreview1.Orientation = xtpOrientationLandscape (newly added property in V13.4.1)
56.  In FocusChanging event NewItem and NewColumn return nothing (I don't know in which version it doesn't work anymore but tried with V13.4.1) It is designed... FocusSubitems should be True to have these values.
57. Why can't we loop Record collection including childs of Parent records. Seems we have to loop childs ourselves... @markmark  
58. With Print & PrintPreview,  MergedCells don't show anymore @Xander  [Fixed for 15.1]
59.  It seems Metrics.Text is showing when editing ReportItem. @jpbro [Fixed for V15.0]
60. When setting xtpAlignmentWordBreak, tooltip still shows, even when entire contents is visible. 
61.  When setting a column EditControlStyle = xtpEditStyleMultiline (with TextFont set to a larger size) the selection is only partially and other part is cutoff. It's a Windows flaw, nothing can be done here.

    3.  4.   Look into V13.2.1 version (last version I checked with), it should work like that  

    6.        In V13.2.1 both row lines and grouprow lines are cut off. In V13.3.0 only the row lines are solved

    9.        If you call wndReportControl.Redraw in ItemChecked event it does redraw but you see this (flickering)

    16.      If you don't call .Populate toggling .Iconview will show items again but on next redraw the items disappear, correct behaviour ??? 

    31.      What about drag&drop with child items into other "real" parent row

    11.      It works as expected but only when setting wndReportControl.AllowColumnRemove = False (note: the issue I mentioned has  been solved but this is about issue in issuetracker, also mentioned in release notes...) 

IMAGES:

  

1. When .IconView is True, the captions show, but only partial. Is there a way to show entire caption or at least more characters?
2. Prevent expanding grouprows after call .Populate
3. Disable a column for clicking (a kind of dummy column, now when clicking column it shows pressed state)
4. Have .EnableCustomization property (like the StatusBar.EnableCustomization) for HeaderSection (and there are 3 more sections, I believe... )
5. When dropping columns onto the groupbox it would be wishfull to drag & drop the columns back into the header ONLY on the initial position of the column (when AllowColumnReorder = false). When having a column order and you don't allow the user to change it, this would be an option to have the order as initially was.
6. Option to have auto resizing Columns after FreezeColumnsCount.
7. AllowUserRowExpandCollapse - When True, users can expand/collapse rows by double-clicking them, or by clicking the glyph, or by pressing the left/right arrow keys). When False, users cannot expand/collapse rows under any of the previously mentioned circumstances, and the +/- glyphs are hidden from view. @jpbro
8. BeforeRowExpandChanged(Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, Cancel As Boolean) - Fired before any row is expanded or collapsed. Setting the Cancel property to TRUE would cancel the expansion/collapse of the row. @jpbro
9. Skinned buttons for the GroupBox buttons? I would like to use my own button style. For FieldChooser as well.
10. Property BottomRowIndex (opposit of TopRowIndex) 
11. When selecting an item of combobox would it be nice to have the index of selected item without having to loop constraints @axdoverm 
12. Would be nice to have more filter functionality with .FilterText
13. Allow editing ReportItem in IconView
14. Option to filter only on Parent records/rows (xtpReportFilterTreeByParentOnly) @Fabian & @Mike Lewis
15. When a RecordItem has new line characters and the SetCustomDraw property has been set to xtpCustomMeasureRow,  the RecordItem shows multiple lines as expected. However, if you then group by that column, the Group Row shows the newline characters as boxes so maybe we need a "MaxGroupRowLines" property (also see post for other possibilities) @jpbro -  https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16842
16. Reportcontrol EditOptions.AddComboButton Markup support.
17. Format property removes all zero's after decimal character (1,20 will be 1,2)  and that's not what you want, if you are using currency values. See post: https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14461&PID=49829#49829
18. FocusRect only on ReportItems.
19. In addition to Filter functionality adding highlighted "found item(s)" option would be nice to have.
20. Autosize ReportRow when editing multilines @markmark See post http://forum.codejock.com/new_reply_form.asp?PID=59674&PN=1&TR=1
21. Grouping totals at the bottom of a group @charlest See post: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17174

• Is there any chance to implement this WITH AutoColumnSizing = True ?
• Remark: When RC is resized and a few columns are set with .MaximumWidth the scrollbar is shown. This isn't a problem since I did set AutoColumnSizing = False,  but after resizing another column the columnheader "resets" (RC will try to fit columns into view) Why?

1. Start exe (No skin is loaded)
2. Resize form (only width) just a few pixels
3. Scrollbar thumb will be resized
4. Now try to click on scrollbar arrows to scroll to item 9 + 10
5. Doesn't work, right?
6. Resize form (smaller, about 4 items showing) and you will see that the scrollbars will be resized and you are able to click on arrows again

SuperMario wrote: Aren't #16 and #8 the same?  Internally these columns are just hidden, the same as the normal columns are just hidden when iconview is set.  With Aaron's sample I am sure this is fixed now.  There was a step in there that was only intended for row # columns that was getting called for iconview as well. Again, write to support for the fix.

No they aren't the same. Here's is test project to demonstrate

1. Start Issue #16.exe
2. Select in menu test > IconView
3. Select in menu test > Remove Columns and Records
4. Select in menu test > IconView
5. Runtime error

It seams a hard work, to solve all the problems.

Smooky wrote: About property column (header) maximum width (Issue #1 in Aaron's list), there need turn off autosizing option and then maximum width property work correctly. Example set max width 100 for column #0 (C++): m_wndReportCtrl.GetColumns()->GetAt(0)->SetAutoSize(FALSE); // cancel column autosizing m_wndReportCtrl.GetColumns()->GetAt(0)->SetMaxWidth(100);   // set maximum width constraint

1. Is there any chance to implement this WITH AutoColumnSizing = True ?
2. When RC is resized and a few columns are set with .MaximumWidth the scrollbar is shown. This isn't a problem since I did set AutoColumnSizing = False,  but after resizing another column the columnheader "resets" (RC will try to fit columns into view) Why?

Thanks for solving #32 & #33

Baldur wrote: Thanks Aaron, i will remember this at next issue.   But a simply question: Does MergePreviousCells not work on headerrecords or footerrecords ?   I would like this feature to combine HeaderRowItems to draw combined HeaderCaptions. It would also be nice to support Gradient-Colors on RecordItems like Columns.

1. Adding child records to headerrecords is possible but they don't show
2. Adding child records to footerrecords is possible but they don't show
3. Using formulas doesn't seem to be working
4. And ???? CodeJock support ????

Please be patient :)  Things like #44 required many hours of re-write.  You are in good hands now, so rest assured they will all be addressed.
