Hi;
I'm trying to create a report item with constraint edit that behaves like standard combobox dropdownlist controls. So I want the item to open the dropdown list as soon as the user clicks into the item rectangle.
Setting EditOnClick(TRUE) shows the edit control with dropdown button but the list is not open.
I tried several setting but without success.

Isn't this possible?
Can't believe it!

Hi,
please set CXTPReportPaintManager::m_bShowNonActiveInPlaceButton to TRUE and call AddComboButton(TRUE) to have the combo box inside the cell.
You also need to derive your own class from CXTPReportRecordItem.
void CMyReportRecordItem::OnBeginEdit(XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_ARGS *pItemArgs)
{
CXTPReportRecordItem::OnBeginEdit(pItemArgs);
CXTPReportRecordItemEditOptions *pEditOptions = GetEditOptions(pItemArgs->pColumn);
pEditOptions->arrInplaceButtons.GetAt(0)->Activate();
}
You could also call CXTPReportInplaceButton::Activate() at an other event handler instead of deriving your own item class.
I'll add a dropdown style to the toolkit.

I achieved this thusly, inheriting from CXTPReportRecordItemText:
void CMyReportRecordItem::OnBeginEdit (XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_ARGS *pItemArgs)
{
CXTPReportRecordItemText::OnBeginEdit(pItemArgs);
CXTPReportControl *pControl = pItemArgs->pControl;
CXTPReportRecordItemEditOptions *pEditOptions = GetEditOptions(pItemArgs->pColumn);
CXTPReportInplaceButtons *pInpaceButtons = &pEditOptions->arrInplaceButtons;
if (!pEditOptions->m_bAllowEdit && pInpaceButtons->GetSize() > 0)
{
CXTPReportInplaceButton *pBtn = pInpaceButtons->GetAt(0);
OnInplaceButtonDown(pBtn);
if (!pControl->IsEditOnClick())
pBtn->Activate();
}
}
I took the bulk of the code from ToolkitPro v15.0.02. I'm using v15.1.1 at the moment.
Did you, "add a dropdown style to the toolkit" ?
