Bug : Multi-Line height & Merge Cells

The forums seem dead at this point, but, same problem in 16.1.0. Merged cells are (still) not taken into account when calculating row height. I am currently attempting to implement my own workaround because I have very specific cases of merged cells - for those interested the function to override appears to be CXTPReportPaintManager::GetRowHeight.

Xtreme ToolkitPro (C++) v16.1.0, Windows 7

Hi,

you are right, the row height does not consider merged cells. This requires some changes to the control, so I probably have to postpone the fix after 15.2.1 and then include the fix in 15.2.2.

Hi again

Always working with Merged cells, i found something i would call a BUG !

* All columns are "AlignmentWordBreak", i merged columns 1 & 2 and i have this.
So far, no problems.

* Let's now resize column 1 "Subject" and look to the third line !

CodeJock calculate the height of the line without add column 1 "Subject" and column 2 "Received" widths

* See here : the height of the third line is the same if no cells are merged :

I think this is a BUG, can anyone confirm ?

I use CodeJock Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) 15.1.3 - Report Control.

Thanks.

My code :

Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()

    Dim ligne As Integer
    Dim Record As ReportRecord
    Dim Column As ReportColumn

    Set Column = wndReportControl.Columns.Add(0, "From", 40, True)
    Set Column = wndReportControl.Columns.Add(1, "Subject", 90, True)
    Set Column = wndReportControl.Columns.Add(2, "Received", 40, True)

    wndReportControl.PaintManager.HorizontalGridStyle = xtpGridSolid
    wndReportControl.PaintManager.VerticalGridStyle = xtpGridSolid
    wndReportControl.PaintManager.GridLineColor = &H80000012

    wndReportControl.PaintManager.AllowMergeCells = True
    wndReportControl.PaintManager.FixedRowHeight = False
    wndReportControl.Columns(0).Alignment = xtpAlignmentWordBreak
    wndReportControl.Columns(1).Alignment = xtpAlignmentWordBreak
    wndReportControl.Columns(2).Alignment = xtpAlignmentWordBreak

    Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()
    Record.AddItem "postmaster@mail.codejock.com"
    Record.AddItem "Undeliverable Mail"
    Record.AddItem ""
    wndReportControl.Records.MergeItems ligne, ligne, 1, 2

    ligne = ligne + 1
    Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()
    Record.AddItem "postmaster@mail.codejock.com"
    Record.AddItem "Undeliverable Mail 2"
    Record.AddItem ""
    wndReportControl.Records.MergeItems ligne, ligne, 1, 2

    ligne = ligne + 1
    Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()
    Record.AddItem "Codejock Exchange (https://forum.codejock.com)"
    Record.AddItem "Good Answer! Capture message send from Net Send 1 - Capture message send from Net Send 2! Good Answer"
    Record.AddItem ""
    wndReportControl.Records.MergeItems ligne, ligne, 1, 2

    ligne = ligne + 1
    Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()
    Record.AddItem "Codejock Exchange (https://forum.codejock.com)"
    Record.AddItem "Comment Added: returning a <ma> from a dll"
    Record.AddItem ""
    wndReportControl.Records.MergeItems ligne, ligne, 1, 2

    wndReportControl.Populate

    wndReportControl.Redraw

End Sub

	Unfortunately this bug still exists in version 15.3.1. Is it fixed in the new upcoming 16.x version? If not, when can we expect a fix?

	Hi, I don't use MergeCell option but I can confirm that it doesn't work properly. RowHeight isn't calculated right way. Andre?
