Oleg,

Yes, that does get rid of the "..." (which is a definite improvement), but it comes at the expense of not drawing the sort triangle (without which, it is really hard to tell what's going on)

I think the "best-fit" column width (for a sortable column) should include the width of the sort-triangle. Don't you agree?
(at the very least it would be nice for this to be an option)

Sorry, in my suggested code above, I meant to say "IsSortable" by I wrote "IsResizable" when I was typing it in here.(That's got to be a record, I suggest one line of code and it has a bug ) It should read:

replace the line:
if (HasSortTriangle())
with the line:
if (IsSortable())

Hello,

You can call

wndReport.GetPaintManager()->m_bDrawSortTriangleAlways = FALSE;

so it will acts exactly like in Office

I'd like to re-open this issue once more (I'm using 9.81 right now). The best-fit still causes the name to get cut off, and the "..." toappear

To duplicate the behaviour (in the 9.81 version of the samples)
Codejock Samples -> Report Sample -> Report Control Menu -> Task List Dialog
1) Click on the "Subject" header, so the sort triangle shows up on the "subject" column.
2) Now "double-click resize" the "% Complete" Column (by double-clicking the right edge of the column)
3) Now click on the "% Complete" header, so the sort arrow shows up on the "% Complete" header.
Result: "% Complete" name is now "% Co..."

From looking at your source, I suggest the following:
in file: "xtpreportcolumn.cpp"
in function: "int CXTPReportColumn::GetBestFitWidth() const"

replace the line:
if (HasSortTriangle())
with the line:
if (IsResizable())

Since the sort triangle may show up after the column has been best-fit sized.

Thanks

Warren

I'd like to re-open this issue.

The Column-sizing algorithm doesn't seem to take into account the Widthof Column Title. This causes the name to get cut off, and the "..." toappear when the Name of the Column is wider than any of the contents.

To duplicate the behaviour (in the 9.80 version of the samples)
Codejock Samples -> Report Sample -> Report Control Menu -> Task List Dialog
and "double-click resize" on the "% Complete" Column.

I'd also like the algorithm to take into account the width of thelittle sort-direction arrow that shows up too (so sorting the columndoesn't cause the name to get cut off either).

Thanks !

Thanks for looking into this so quickly! The support for this product is just great.

Thanks for also adding the feature I was about to suggest:

I'm having trouble with the Best Fit feature of the Report Control. Thebest fit function makes the column width a few pixels too narrow. Thiscauses the "..." ellipses to be used when the item is drawn. 

The problem exists in my application, and also in the "ReportSample"sample (use the best fit feature on the "Recieved" column - or anycolumn except the last column).
For Example:


I'm using Toolkit Pro v9.60, with Visual Studio 2003 writing a MFC app, on a XP computer, with the default set of fonts.

BTW --> Typo: the "Recieved" column should be "Received" in the sample

Thanks
