Possible BUG in CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics

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

   Hi;

I used to dynamically set icon alignment in report rows by providing it in my own CXTPReportRecord derived GetItemMetrics() function but I never got it to work. After a few minutes of debugging I found this in CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics

void CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics(XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_DRAWARGS* pDrawArgs, XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_METRICS* pItemMetrics)
{
    ASSERT(m_pRecord);
    ASSERT(pDrawArgs->pRow == this);
    ASSERT(pDrawArgs->pItem != NULL);
    if (!m_pRecord || !pDrawArgs->pItem)
        return;

    CXTPReportPaintManager* pPaintManager = pDrawArgs->pControl->GetPaintManager();

    pItemMetrics->pFont = &pPaintManager->m_fontText;
    pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrWindowText;
    pItemMetrics->clrBackground = XTP_REPORT_COLOR_DEFAULT;
    pItemMetrics->nColumnAlignment = pDrawArgs->nTextAlign;
    pItemMetrics->nItemIcon = XTP_REPORT_NOICON;

    m_pRecord->GetItemMetrics(pDrawArgs, pItemMetrics);      <-- Here I set my own alignment...
    pDrawArgs->pItem->GetItemMetrics(pDrawArgs, pItemMetrics);

    m_pControl->GetItemMetrics(pDrawArgs, pItemMetrics);
    pDrawArgs->nTextAlign = pItemMetrics->nColumnAlignment;   <-- ... and here everything is reset!
   ...

So, settings applied in my CXTPReportRecord derived class' GetItemMetrics are alwys overwritten!
