I have a report control with 2 columns, only 1 of which is editable. I have a separate thread that raises an event that modifies the caption of the UNeditable column. If this event get raised (and changes the caption of the uneditable item) while the user is editing an item in the editable column, the edit window gets closed. Is there any way to prevent this?

After more testing, I've discovered that the edit box disappears after calling ReportControl1.Populate. Is there any way to prevent this? Perhaps if there is a way to refresh a specific ReportRecordItem instead of calling Populate to refresh the whole RC?

Looks like the UpdateRecord method does what I want (ReportRecordItems can be changed programmatically without causing the edit window to close).

Hi Jason,

If you only need to update value on screen just call ReportControl.Redraw method.

You need UpdateRecord or Populate call only if changed value change Row position (in sort order or in groups).

Hi Aaron,

I tried the Redraw method, but it also closes the edit window if the user is typing into a ReportRecordItem. It seems that UpdateRecord doesn't close the window though (which works for my purposes).

Actually, I just found the UpdateField method of the DataManager object, which is likely even a better choice, since it only updates a single ReportRecordItem instead of the entire ReportRecord.


With Me.ReportControl1
     .DataManager.UpdateField lo_Rec.Item(l_UpdatedItemIndex) ' Where lo_Rec is a ReportRecord object
End With
