Is it possible to have multi-line column headers? If so, how is this achieved?

Thanks,

Graham

Maybe you can use Markup to do this? I'm not into XAML but there is a lot you can do with it.

Set the property EnableMarkup to True and you can use XAML.

I managed to do it :

set PaintManager:FixedRowHeight to false

Use chr(10) in the column header to make multi-line header

We no longer require the change, but it's good to know for possible future application.

Thanks

Hi.

I set the FixedRowHeight property of the PaintManager propert of the AXReportControl and I added a \r character in the string of text for the column header and it do not seem to do anything. The row height was not changed and the \r character did not show up in the header and the text was not separated.

Am I missing something here?

All,

A quick update. I used the following on the construction of the column for the report:

o.HeaderAlignment = XTPColumnAlignment.xtpAlignmentWordBreak;

Where "o" is the return value from the Columns.Add() method. This works on word breaks but not at specific locations within the column header. In addition, if the grid is "refreshed" the column header width reverts back to FixedHeight!

Thoughts? Ideas?
