Hi Aaron.

 

The report control is a beast so say the least, really great control, but it's sometimes hard to work with ( My fault)

While I was struggling with this posts problem I tried a different way to solve it.

I would store the column that was clicked in the RequestEdit event

lngSelectedCol = Column.Index

Then in the PreviewKeyDown event set KeyCode = 0 if the column matched the column I wanted to disable typing.


If lngSelectedCol = W_RESPONSIBILITY Then
    KeyCode = 0
End If

 

This worked just great until I showed a modal form when clicking the button.

When the code returns, from the closure of the modal form, the report control PreviewKeyDown does not work anymore.

I tried to create a demo of this problem but can't replicate it outside of my main app.

 

The report control in on a form which is then part of a docking pane.

 

But never mind as its solved another way now.

 

 

All the best

 

Mark

Hi Mark,
 
Glad it helped you
 
I find it strange though why the other "buttons" can't be set like the ItemControl. Same buttons and same EditOptions but different behaviour...

Hi Mark,
 
 
It isn't possible with ExpandButton, Combo and Spin controls. You could add an ItemControl instead...
 
 
 
Me.ReportControl1.AllowEdit = False
    
    With Me.ReportControl1
        .Columns.Add 0, "Column 1", 100, True
       
        For i = 0 To 5
            With .Records.Add()
                With .AddItem(i)
                    With .ItemControls.AddButton(0)
                        .Alignment = xtpReportItemControlRight
                        .Enable = True
                        .Caption = "..."  'Simulate ExpandButton
                        .SetSize 16, 16
                        .Themed = True
                    End With
                   
                End With
            End With
        Next i
       
        .Populate
    End With

I have a Column with a button.

But I would like to make the cell read only.

If I set Column.Editable = False the button disappears as well.

 

Set Column = wndTasks.Columns.add(2, "Responsibility", 200, True)

Column.Visible = True

Column.Editable = False

Column.EditOptions.AddExpandButton

Column.EditOptions.GetInplaceButton(0).InsideCellButton = True
 
 

I did try this code;

Set Item = rRecord.AddItem("")
        
        Item.CreateEditOptions
        Item.EditOptions.AddExpandButton
        Item.EditOptions.AllowEdit = False
 
Which did sort of give me what I wanted, but the InplaceButtonDown events fires as soon as I click the cell, rather than the button.
 
 if I set Item.EditOptions.ConstraintEdit = True this still allows me to type into the cell but at least it ignores, and clears the type when you click away.
But still not the best.
 
 
Thanks
