If you have SkipGroupFocus = True and you also have something like:


Private Sub ReportControl1_FocusChanging(ByVal NewRow As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal NewColumn As XtremeReportControl.IReportColumn, ByVal NewItem As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem, Cancel As Boolean)
   Cancel = NewRow.GroupRow
End Sub


I would expect that there would be no circumstances when a group row could get focus. However, this is not the case. If the currently focused row is a child of the group row, then clicking the group row will move the focus rectangle there, and clicking it again will move the selection there.

If the currently focused row is not a child of the group row that you click, then the focus will never move there (as expected).

Demonstraton:

Is it just me or is this a bug?

I was just looking for an ugly work-around, but unfortunately, even though the focus changes on mouse-click, the MouseDown and MouseUp events don't fire :(

MouseMove doesn't fire either until the mouse is moved after clicking (in most cases this happens quickly, but not always - for example using a trackpad on a laptop, the user may click but not touch the trackpad). So a partial workaround is:


Private Sub ReportControl1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Long, y As Long)
   If Me.ReportControl1.FocusedRow.GroupRow Then
      Set Me.ReportControl1.FocusedRow = Me.ReportControl1.FocusedRow.Childs(0)
   End If
End Sub


I'll keep try to find a better workaround and post results back here.

Minor correction - MouseDown fires, but it fires *before* the focus is moved, so changing the focus there doesn't help. MouseUp does not fire.

I did look at the problem, and when trying to fix it I ran into some things that need to be considered.

How should keyboard navigation act?  How would you expand a group via keyboard if groups can't get selected?  In your example lets say group B and C is closed and focus is in a child of A, how then can I expand B or C via keyboard?  What happens if using the keyboard I then close ALL groups?

Looking at the source, the code does not handle keyboard navigation that well as it was.  I cleaned it up a bit, but I need more details on exactly how this should act before I proceed.

I have the option of allowing it selected but hiding focus rectangle and\or highlighting if needed.

Try to give me exact specifications on how the keyboard navigation should act :)  I have the mouse navigation part fixed.

Hi SuperMario,

Thanks a lot for looking into this and fixing the mouse issues around the group rows.

As for how I think the keyboard should be acting, I'll have to think about this a bit more thoroughly and get back to you shortly (I'm on my way out shortlly).

Thanks again.

OK, thats fine.  Either way this issue will be in the next version after 13.3. If you want I can give you a custom build finished.
