Topic: ReportControl expands groups on populate

Subject: ReportControl expands groups on populate

We have develepoed a report control based task list which is automatically refreshed at regular intervals. If the user has applied custom grouping and collapsed some of the groups all the groups are expanded the next time populate is called. The behaviour can very easily be seen in the ReportControl sample: group by something and collapse a few groups. Double-click a bold line to set its state to read - all groups are expanded.

Does anyone have any idea on how to avoid this?

Hi,

Please note that after repopulating the control, all rows, including group rows, have renewed to another objects. That's why all theirs properties, including collapsed state are lost.

However, of course the solution exists. For example, you can override Populate() method for your control, or just add "before" and "after" Populate blocks of code, where you'll save Rows state before Populating, and restore it after.

For example on how it could be accomplished see below:


    {
        // Save previous Collapsed state
        CXTPReportRecords recs;        
        CStringArray arGroups;        
        int nRowsCount = GetReportCtrl().GetRows()->GetCount();
        int nRow = 0;
        for (nRow = 0; nRow < nRowsCount; nRow++)
        {
            CXTPReportRow* pRow = GetReportCtrl().GetRows()->GetAt(nRow);

            // save possible collapsed "Tree" rows
            if (pRow && pRow->HasChildren() && !pRow->IsGroupRow() && !pRow->IsExpanded())
            {
                recs.Add(pRow->GetRecord());
            }

            // Save possible collapsed Group rows
            if (pRow && pRow->IsGroupRow() && !pRow->IsExpanded())
            {
                CXTPReportGroupRow* pGRow = (CXTPReportGroupRow*)pRow;
                arGroups.Add(pGRow->GetCaption());
            }
        }

        // Call base Populate()
        GetReportCtrl().Populate();

        // Restore Collapsed state
        nRowsCount = GetReportCtrl().GetRows()->GetCount();
        for (nRow = 0; nRow < nRowsCount; nRow++)
        {
            CXTPReportRow* pRow = GetReportCtrl().GetRows()->GetAt(nRow);
            if (pRow && pRow->HasChildren())
            {
                // Check for group row
                if (pRow->IsGroupRow()) 
                {
                    CXTPReportGroupRow* pGRow = (CXTPReportGroupRow*)pRow;
                    for (int i = 0; i < arGroups.GetSize(); i++)
                    {
                        if (!pGRow->GetCaption().Compare(arGroups.GetAt(i)))
                        {
                            pGRow->SetExpanded(FALSE);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
                else
                // Check Tree rows
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i < recs.GetCount(); i++)
                    {
                        if (pRow->GetRecord() == recs.GetAt(i))
                        {
                            pRow->SetExpanded(FALSE);
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
