Did you try: & I found that special characters in XAML have the same codes as in HTML. For example, < and > are specified by the html codes < and > respectively. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 13.0.0 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |

Hey Aaron, You should escape your plain-text before adding it to markup strings...I posted a function in the Xaml board a while ago that should do the trick: https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10865 - https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10865 This function is only useful for escaping purely plain text that contains no markup/Xaml of it's own (since it will convert < and > characters to < and >) ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hi Jason,
Thanks for reply
 With previous version I noticed that the Markup string didn't work in Grouped items, it showed the complete string and not as the Markup string should be... and only because of the "&" char. In V13.0.0 it shows the Markup as should. Does this mean that CJ covered this already? I would like that support would reply on this, so I know that I don't need to do anything (at least for RC).
Question though: the characters in the function are the only characters you need to replace for Markup? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 15.0.2 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 2 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 Zero replies is not an option.... |

Hi Aaron, Those should be the only common characters that need escaping...what I'm not sure about is: 1) Whitespace/Unprintable characters (tab, CHR$(0) through CHR$(31), CHR$(127)) 2) Extended ASCII characters (CHR$(128) through CHR$(255)) 3) Unicode characters Perhaps I'll run some tests...You mention that only the & character was breaking the XAML validation..what happens if you add markup to your column next (e.g. Nood <Bold>Alarm</Bold>)...does the group row text interpret the XAML as XAML tags, or does it show the tag string as text? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Hi Jason,
I'm sorry, I didn't read your reply so well and didn't know you ask me something.
If I set col.Caption with & character inside a string, markup will breakup also. So I replaced & character with & and it will work as should
Thanks
