When using TreeColumn and HasCheckbox in the same column, the display looks strange and wrong ! Also it uses to much (width) space !  Is there anything that can be done to change this display style or behavior ? |

Hi Aaron, yes - I meant the position of the treeline and the position of the childitem checkbox ! |

The parent/child treelines also look strange without using checkboxes

Hi Tobi,
A while ago I mentioned this as well and I was wrong saying that according to Mark, lot's of discussions and I believe I closed the issue myself.
What do you mean by "look strange" without using checkboxes? Can you upload a screenshot and please add comment (or another image) how you would like to see the treelines, OK?
Thanks

Internally it is only drawing the line the same length as it does for rows with the expand button, it does this in all cases, so you are left with the width of the expand icon as padding no matter what. See if this implementation works better for you, if the row has no children then it will draw the line the extra width of the icon.  |

Added wndReportControl.PaintManager.TreeColumnLineLength, default is 0, which will use existing logic, anything greater than 0 and it will draw the line that length. The picture above would be: wndReportControl.PaintManager.TreeColumnLineLength = 16 |

Dear SuperMario, this enhancement is good, but I'm looking for a way to place the vertical line in the middle under the plus/minus icon ...

Hi SuperMario,
Thanks for that
 In my opinion the treelines aren't nice positioned (don't know what @Tobi means yet...) but I would expect the treeline beneath (centered) the parent plus/minus button (like a TreeView)

You can already do that :) wndReportControl.PaintManager.TreeIndent = 10  |

Hi SuperMario,
You are right
 I didn't see because default TreeIndent seems to be 16 or so. I didn't set new value, that's why...
Thanks again

Hi SuperMario,
Now I remember... Please look at post https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11635 - https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11635 , #Issue 14
The image is showing grouped (parent) Records. Is this also solved?
Thanks a lot

After looking through the source, Mark was right on this one. BaseTreeIndent is what you need for this. BaseTreeIndent specifies the indentation placed before the text of each parent node in a hierarchical tree structure. Internally all this does is add and extra wndReportControlStatus.PaintManager.TreeIndent. So After further review I can see where it might be hard to get ideal results if you also want to use TreeIndent with a different setting. So I added BaseParentRecordIndent, which will be an initial indent applied if the Parent Records are in a group (group order > 0), default will be 0, so behavior will be identical as before if not set. If > 0 then it will apply the indent. I also allow negative so if you set to -2 wndReportControlStatus.PaintManager.BaseParentRecordIndent = 20  Is this what you wanted? |

Hi SuperMario, Looks good to me Thanks a lot for adding new property. Now we can play around with a few settings to get a nice layout. Thanks

Hi SuperMario, one question left: How can I increase horizontal space between the plusminus signs of child and parent without using TreeIndent also when I have multiple sub-levels ? |

TreeIndent was added for this purpose. So I am not sure what else you expect....maybe a picture will help me understand. As for multiple sub-levels, it applies same indent to all. So you want different indent for each level? |

In general I agree - TreeIndent affects the space between parent and child signs. That what I want to archive... But what I do not want to be affected from TreeIndent setting is the position of the vertical treeline ! In my opinion it should ALWAYS be centered exactly under the parent plusminus icon !!! |

Hi Tobi, You mentioned somewhere in forum that this is (still) working OK? Can you be more specific? Please upload Test project so we all know what doesn't work. Thanks

Hi Aaron, the issue regaring position of the vertical treeline is still not implemented ! In my opinion it should ALWAYS be centered exactly under the parent plusminus icon !!! I hope it's still on SuperMario's TODO list - and also hope it will be fixed with v15 ! Thanks |

Hi Tobi, I don't understand... Did you at least try with new version?  The only thing I did is to get above image
With Me.wndReportControl
With .PaintManager .TreeIndent = 10 '.BaseParentRecordIndent = 0 '.BaseTreeIndent = 0 '.TreeColumnLineLength = 0 End With End With
There are four properties, I can't image you can't get it right for your own needs...

Hi, C'mon Tobi, we don't have all day. CJ is in the middle of releasing V15.0 so speak up if you need something else. You have a test project, what do need more?

Hi Aaron, thanks for the testproject ! The issue shows when you set ReportControl.PaintManager.TreeIndent to a value e.g. 25 ! Then the vertical treeline is not under the plus/minus sign any more ...  |

Hi Tobi OK, I see... I created test to set values seperately (for support) See what they have to say about this. Thanks
