Can you please change this in v12.0.2?

All other controls have simple SetMarkupText-functions. Report records cannot be "marked" before the record has been added. This is painful!

Perhaps CXTPReportRecordItem should be able to use its own markup context-pointer (default to NULL)!

new CXTPReportRecordItem("...", m_wndReport.GetRecords().GetMarkupContext());

Then in CXTPReportRecordItem::SetCaption...

if (m_pMarkupContext)
m_pMarkupUIElement = XTPMarkupParseText(m_pMarkupContext, strCaption);
else if (m_pRecord && m_pRecord->m_pRecords && m_pRecord->m_pRecords->GetMarkupContext())
{

m_pMarkupUIElement = XTPMarkupParseText(m_pRecord->m_pRecords->GetMarkupContext(), strCaption);

}

Possible solution would be to call an update-function somewhere below XTPReportRecord.cpp(118):

pItem->OnItemAdded(); ... then I could call SetCaption in this function. Perhaps you can think of a better design. *back to coding*

AddRecord(new CMyRecord(...));

Inside CMyRecord I format some markup text in the added items, but it will never be parsed due to this:

void CXTPReportRecordItem::SetCaption(LPCTSTR strCaption)
{
m_strCaption = strCaption;

XTPMarkupReleaseElement(m_pMarkupUIElement);

    if (m_pRecord && m_pRecord->m_pRecords && m_pRecord->m_pRecords->GetMarkupContext())
    {
        m_pMarkupUIElement = XTPMarkupParseText(m_pRecord->m_pRecords->GetMarkupContext(), strCaption);
    }
}

m_pRecord->m_pRecords will always be NULL! So the question is; do I have to explicitly call SetCaption on all my items after I have added the record? That seems odd!

This works (also seen in Report Sample):

GetRecords()->GetAt(0)->GetItem(0)->SetCaption("Test");
