    Posted: 27 May 2010 at 1:39pm
I thre MergePreviousCells and MergePreviousVerticalcells setting not working?

I have tried this in many different ways and can't get it to work..

tried on 13.3 and 13.3.1   

I have added the PaintManager.AllowMergeCell  Method on the control before and after the setting but see nothing..

Or does somebody have any working sample of this working?

even a binary file would be ok  but working source would be better...

Best Regards...

Hi SuperMario,
 
Nice feature, but as I said before, it's not finished
 
 
 
 
 
Just resize columns a bit and you will see...

hmm, didn't see it on your list or I just plain missed it.

It appears the developer who added this feature did not intend for the columns to be re sized if you used this feature.

Will this be fixed in in the future?

Also if you add the freezecolomn property to it and just change one of the columns to have the mergepreviousverticalcells property like on the first column, all of the colomns up to the freeze point will inherit the merge making everything pretty much unreadable.
There just seems to be a lot a problem with this property and sure wish it was working properly..

Best Regards...

I'm trying to do this but getting no luck either! I'm setting up the reportcontrol like this:

    ' Basic setup
    With repData
        .AutoColumnSizing = True
        .AllowColumnRemove = False
        .AllowColumnReorder = False
        .BorderStyle = xtpBorderFrame
        .Columns.DeleteAll
        .Icons = imgIcons.Icons
        .MultipleSelection = False
        .PaintManager.HorizontalGridStyle = xtpGridSolid
        .PaintManager.VerticalGridStyle = xtpGridSolid
        .PaintManager.AllowMergeCells = True
        .ShowGroupBox = False
        .SortedDragDrop = False
    End With

Am i missing something? When i add the records , I set the mergepreviouscells property to 1 before populating!

Nevermind, managed to find it... I add the property '.AllowColumnSort = False' and voila...

Is this ever going to be looked at
latest version 15.0.1 still does the same kind of problems...
This was reported a long time ago and have not seen any kind of progress.

I emailed support about this about 5 times and never got a single reply, as if I didn't even exit.
is this normal for anybody else?
