Hi,
This thread will be about managing columns in the ReportControl. If all issues are fixed/added see post: http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10986 I'm satisfied with the RC in general. But I have a few things that could be added:
If you have more ideas, please reply.
If you have ideas this thread will be used to discuss it, OK? Add as many info as possible and not just: I want this and want that, be serious! I will add your idea to this post so everyone doesn't need to read every single reply.
Thanks in advance

Sorry Aaron, I haven't been using the ReportControl very much so far (although I do plan on it in the future). I can't really add too much to these ideas. #1 sounds to me how it should work, and as for #2 I'm not sure what EnableCustomization would do...What would get customized?

I have still one big problem with the RC und the GroupBox. In my application users have a function to set an default grouping by click onto a checkbox. This function adds a group.
If i reload the data of the RC, i have to delete all groups, because after reloading, the groups have to be add again. If i don't delete the groups before, the groups will be added twice. To this point everything works fine. But if a user adds another column manually by dragging it into the GroupBox and then ends the application, this column isn’t visible anymore. A solution for this problem could be, that there is an option, to leave the original column in the ColumnHeder und set only a copy of it in the GroupBox.

I only meant that I would like to have been more helpful, but since I haven't used the RC very much yet, I don't have anything useful to add at this point .
I guess my only comment on #2 would be, that I would be just as likely to add my own functionality and popup menu (for hiding and other functions on right-click of a column). Although having the option to use some basic built-in functionality wouldn't hurt. |

Of course this behaviour is unusual. My users expecting the grouped column residing in the RC too. Could it be a solution to handle the GroupOrderChanged event? Something like that Private Sub wndReportControl_GroupOrderChanged() Dim rptCol As XtremeReportControl.ReportColumn For Each rptCol In wndReportControl.GroupsOrder rptCol.Visible = True Next End Sub The GroupOrderChanged event occurs when the user changes the columns group order of report control. By iterating through the ColumnsOrder collection and making all included columns visible all columns will reside in the RC regardless of grouping. |

Hi,
It's a start but I expect more than these few replies. And I don't mind if the support team would reply as well. All RC users are pulling out their hair just to have an idea and maybe the idea has already been added as a feature in next release
So, think harder guys (and maybe girls, I can't tell if there are any )
Thanks again

I'm a little bi busy at the moment, to make a full sample. But maybe you understand what I mean, if I explain another way: 1) I have a application that hat a ReportControl. The problem is that I use two different recordsets, to show into the ReportControl with complete different columns. Because I want so switch between both recordsets during the same session, I have to delete all groups, records and columns, before I load the new recordset. With ReportControl Before I load the new recordset (at application start or by switching) I load the correct ReportControl settings from an *.ini file with the .LoadSettings method. And now the dropped column is not visible. Maybe it is a question of the correct sequence (what doing first), but I first delete all groups, records and columns and so on and the I load the settings from the *.ini file. |

Marcus,
It is still difficult to find out what is wrong here. I don't use LoadSettings and SaveSettings because I want more info to be saved as below. So testing this will take some time for me to build what you want.
Now, first of all:
I can't think of anything else but it looks like this should work (or it's some kind of bug, or setting that have to be set before or after you load the settings). If you have more time you could upload a test project and I could test this myself. If this isn't helping you, I think you better start a new thread, and if this is a bug I will add it to my collection and if this needs to be added as feature I will add it also btw Why do you use just one RC in your form? I have a form with three RC's in it, in combination with DockingPanes. So I have Tabs to switch between the RC's. See my post FIXED BUGS and look for
uploads/20080623_025015_ReportControl.zip (2 RC's with DockingPanes)

The only thing to solve my problem is, to add a property to the RC, that lets the column, that will be dragged into the GropuBox = Visible. Of course a dragged column, that is still visible, couldn’t drag again into the GroupBox. For many users, incidentally, it would be a great advantage if grouped columns would always visible.

Marcus,
Now you lost me totally...
Please look at issue 13. in my post, maybe it has something to do with this. If not you better post an issue about this. But support member wants you to upload a sample as well (or he understands what you mean)

Hi all RC users and support team,
I think all users are satisfied with the ReportControl. I will add the features to my list and I will be satisfied with it too.
Thank you all

Anybody have ideas about this?
By definition the event _ColumnsOrderChanged is.."This event occurs when a columns order is changed by the user dragging the column to another position, when a column header is dragged into the Group By box, when the order of the column headers change in the Group By box, when a column header is clicked on and/or dragged in the FieldChooser, and when a column header is added to the FieldChooser." The ColumnsOrderChanged event does not have any parameters so there is no way to tell which of the 4 actions took place. I only what to perform an action if the user pulls a column from the FieldChooser to the report or places a column from the report into the FieldChooser. We keep FilterHiddenColumns set to false, but if the user has text in the filter text add adds a column from the field chooser to the report I want to re-populate the report to capture any filter text matches. My recommendation is to have CodeJock add an Actions enumeration parameter to the ColumnsOrderChanged event if at all possible. Thanks |
