GroupRow Multiline Problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When a RecordItem has new line characters and the SetCustomDraw property has been set to xtpCustomMeasureRow,  the RecordItem shows multiple lines as expected. However, if you then group by that column, the Group Row shows the newline characters as boxes. Example:

I'm not sure what the best thing to do here would be though, so I appreciate input:

1) Show the multiple lines in the GroupRow - This could make the report hard to read though, so maybe we would also need a "MaxGroupRowLines" property to limit the display to a few lines? OR
2) Just convert the newline characters to a single space character for group rows, so the ugly boxes don't appear?
3) Just show the first line in the GroupRow?

Any thoughts?

Here's some code to reproduce:

Private Sub Form_Load()
   With Me.ReportControl1
      .Columns.Add 0, "Test", 100, True

      .SetCustomDraw xtpCustomMeasureRow

      With .Records.Add
         .AddItem "A" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine & "B" & vbNewLine
      End With

      .GroupsOrder.Add .Columns(0)

      .Populate
   End With
End Sub
