I'd like to duplicate the functionality of allowing the user to click on a Column, and set the Checkbox type rows to all checked. A lot of applications have this functionality, especially web apps like Yahoo Mail.

If the user clicks on the column heading, it toggles the Check box to all rows checked.

Clicking the Column heading again, unchecks the rows.

Q: how do I capture the left click of a column heading and know which column was clicked so it doesn't interfere with the sorting for other columns?

And then if it's the check box column, call a routine to toggle check the rows.

 

Use MouseDown event:

 

Private Sub wndReportControl_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Long, y As Long)
    Dim extremeColumn As XtremeReportControl.ReportColumn
    Set extremeColumn = Me.wndReportControl.HitTest(x, y).Column
    If extremeColumn.ItemIndex = 0 Then Call MyOwnCheckBoxFunction

'or

    If Me.wndReportControl.HitTest(x, y).Column.ItemIndex = 0 Then
        Call MyOwnCheckBoxFunction
    End If

End Sub

 

 

Some error handling should be added to above code just in case it fails somewhere

 

Thank you very much for the reply.

After applying the 'or' option of your code, it didn't work for me.

So I used the ReportHitTestInfo object to be returned and then I got the Column.ItemIndex from that object.

Now it works.
