Hi;

Is it possible to create a multi row header in report control as shown in this screenshot?

I don't want to use header rows collection, because I want the resize/move/order columns functionality of the default report header.
Do I have to create my own header control????

TIA

Hello Martin,

this is currently not supported, but I already have it on my todo list.

Hello Martin,

You can use CXTPReportControl::m_pSectionHeader with merged cells as multiline header. For example see ReportSample -> menu -> "REPORT CONTROL" -> "Control test" -> "Merge test"

Change CMergeView::OnCreate for code below

toolkitpro\Samples\ReportControl\ReportSample\MergeView.cpp

int CMergeView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
	if (CXTPReportView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
		return -1;

	CXTPReportControl& wndReport = GetReportCtrl();
	
	wndReport.GetPaintManager()->SetGridStyle(TRUE, xtpReportGridSolid);
	wndReport.ShowGroupBy(FALSE);
	wndReport.ShowHeaderRows(TRUE);

	int nColumnCount = 7;
	int nHeaderCount = 2;
	int nRecordCount = 10;
	int nColumn;
	int nRecord;

	CXTPReportRecord *pRecord = NULL;
	
	for (nColumn=0; nColumn<nColumnCount; nColumn++)
	{
		CXTPReportColumn *pColumn = new CXTPReportColumn(nColumn, _T(""), 90, TRUE);
		pColumn = wndReport.AddColumn(pColumn);
	}

	// Add header records
	for (nRecord=0; nRecord<nHeaderCount; nRecord++)
	{
		pRecord = wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->Add(new CXTPReportRecord());
		for (nColumn=0; nColumn<nColumnCount; nColumn++)
		{
			CXTPReportRecordItemText *pItem = new CXTPReportRecordItemText();
			pItem->SetBackgroundColor(RGB(223,227,232));
			pItem->SetAlignment(xtpColumnTextCenter|xtpColumnTextVCenter);
			pRecord->AddItem(pItem);
		}
	}

	// Create multiline header
	wndReport.HeaderRowsAllowSort(FALSE);
	wndReport.HeaderRowsAllowGroup(FALSE);
	wndReport.HeaderRowsAllowAccess(FALSE);
	
	pRecord = wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->GetAt(0);
	pRecord->GetItem(0)->SetCaption(_T("1"));
	pRecord->GetItem(3)->SetCaption(_T("Vehicle Id"));
	pRecord->GetItem(5)->SetCaption(_T("Last multiline column header"));

	pRecord = wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->GetAt(1);
	pRecord->GetItem(0)->SetCaption(_T("First"));
	pRecord->GetItem(1)->SetCaption(_T("Second"));
	pRecord->GetItem(2)->SetCaption(_T("Third"));
	pRecord->GetItem(3)->SetCaption(_T("Fourth"));
	pRecord->GetItem(4)->SetCaption(_T("Fifth"));
	
#if _XTPLIB_VERSION_PREFIX >= 1511
	wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->MergeItems(CXTPReportRecordItemRange(0,2,0,0));
	wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->MergeItems(CXTPReportRecordItemRange(3,4,0,0));
	wndReport.GetHeaderRecords()->MergeItems(CXTPReportRecordItemRange(5,6,0,1));
#endif

	// Add records
	for (nRecord=0; nRecord<nRecordCount; nRecord++)
	{
		pRecord = wndReport.AddRecord(new CXTPReportRecord());
		for (nColumn=0; nColumn<nColumnCount; nColumn++)
		{
			CString sText;
			sText.Format(_T("Row %d, %d"), nRecord, nColumn);

			CXTPReportRecordItemText *pItem = new CXTPReportRecordItemText(sText);
			pRecord->AddItem(pItem);
		}
	}
	
	wndReport.Populate();
	wndReport.SetFocus();

	return 0;
}

Thanks;

I'll give it a try...
But as I remember header records are not the same as the report header. So am I the no longer possible to resize columns when I hide the original report header?

Yes, you are right. But it is so close to desirable appearance.

In this case it's not usable for me!
