Topic: CXTPReportControl group caption

Subject: CXTPReportControl group caption

Can anyone provide me with a code example of how to create a custom CXTPReportControl group caption? I'm running XTP v9.51.

I've tried over-riding GetGroupCaption(CXTPReportColumn* pColumn) in my CXTPReportRecordItem subclass, but it never seems to fire.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark,

Take a look at the sample application -- there are a number of working examples like following:

class CMessageRecordItemXXX : public CXTPReportRecordItemYYY
{
...
virtual CString GetGroupCaption(CXTPReportColumn* pColumn);
...
}

There must be some another problem in your code if such overriding is not working...

I'd probably say more about that if you list a piece of your code.

Hi Sergey,

Thanks very much for your prompt reply. I must be overlooking something obvious. I'll post a quick code snippet here and risk public embarrasment. :-)

Here's the class definition:

class CDupReportRecordSize : public CXTPReportRecordItem
{
public:
    CDupReportRecordSize(__int64 nSize = 0);
    CString GetCaption();
    CString GetGroupCaption(CXTPReportColumn* pColumn);
protected:
    __int64 m_nSize;
};

And the (relevant part of the) implementation:

CString CDupReportRecordSize::GetGroupCaption(CXTPReportColumn* pColumn)
{
    return "test";
}

What's interesting is that the implementation for the GetCaption() override works fine - by which I mean that it actually fires. But the GetGroupCaption function never does (I can set a breakpoint and I get nothing).

Mark,

It's strange -- your example actually works fine for me and returns test string when grouping by the associated column.

Try adding grouping somewhere inside Report Control initializing:

(like in the sample application)

// Find your column associated with this Record Item
CXTPReportColumn* pColSize = pReportCtrl->GetColumns()->Find(COLUMN_YOUR_SIZE);&nbs p;
// Clear all other grouping
pReportCtrl->GetColumns()->GetGroupsOrder()->Clear( );
// Group report control by the found column
pReportCtrl->GetColumns()->GetGroupsOrder()->Add(pC olSize);

markr, seems you have old version, check parameters of

GetGroupCaption in source.
