Resize last column + printing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello,

I'm using the following simple function to resize only the last report control column:

void CMyReportView::InitColSizing()
{
    int nColumnsCount = GetReportCtrl().GetColumns()->GetCount(), nColumn;
    for (nColumn = 0; nColumn < nColumnsCount; nColumn++)
    {
        CXTPReportColumn* pColumn = GetReportCtrl().GetColumns()->GetAt(nColumn);
        if (pColumn && pColumn->IsResizable())
            pColumn->SetAutoSize(FALSE);
    }

    GetReportCtrl().GetColumns()->GetLastVisibleColumn()->SetAutoSize(TRUE);
}

Unfortunately, once I do this is seems to interfere with printing. Specifically, the last column stretches beyond the normal print border (this effect is also visible in print previews). Here's a screen shot of the problem:

If I don't adjust the column sizing, everything works as expected.

Anyone know how what I might be doing wrong here?

	Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Seems like a bug to me, unless I'm just missing something.

	First of all, what you are trying to do was implemented already. See SetAutoColumnSizing function here: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15075&KW=last However, it never worked properly. So I'm still waiting for a fix, and I also believe I have pinpointed the bug you found: "If you move your last column to the left, you get strange behavior when resizing." Sure sounds like the same bug.

	> First of all, what you are trying to do was implemented already. See SetAutoColumnSizing I'm aware of this function, but it does not appear to be relevant to the problem I outlined. For example, if I distill my function down to two simple lines: GetReportCtrl().GetReportHeader()->SetAutoColumnSizing(FALSE); GetReportCtrl().GetColumns()->GetLastVisibleColumn()->SetAutoSize(TRUE); It effectively does nothing at this point - no columns are resized (including the last one). it appears to be necessary to use a combination of SetAutoColumnSizing(TRUE), then turn off column sizing for all but last column. But then when I do this, I have the printing problem that I outlined originally.

	BTW, it appears that in the v13.3.1 I can just call: GetReportCtrl().GetReportHeader()->SetLastColumnExpand(TRUE, TRUE); Which will implement an algorithm nearly identical to that in my original post. But again, it still exhibits the printing problem that I outlined.

	Sorry, that was the function I meant! And... it's buggy! I do believe the printing issue has to do with the drawing problems that appear when using this function. Try creating a support ticket. Maybe CJ will notice...
