I’m beginning to work with CodeJock.

I’m software engineer and I’m in charge of software automation (simulate user action on GUI).

I’m trying to implement automation on CodeJock component: get the coordinates, text caption…

So far, I can get the caption of the CXTPReportRecordItem controls.

What I’m trying to do now is to retrieve the coordinates of that component.

I’m trying to use the “ virtual void (XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_ARGS* pDrawArgs, CRect& rcItem); “  function, but I can’t make it works and I don’t find any explanation on the web.

I’ve got a loop that browses my records, and when it finds the good one, it tries to retrieve the coordinates:

        CRect ret;

        CXTPReportRecordItem *pItem = pReportRecord->GetItem(0);

        XTP_REPORTRECORDITEM_ARGS drawArgs;

        drawArgs.pControl = pReportCtrl;       

        drawArgs.pItem = pItem;

        pItem->GetCaptionRect(&drawArgs,ret);

But this function returns incoherent data. It returns {top=0 bottom=0 left=17 right=0} for each row that has an icon in front of it, and tagRECT = {top=0 bottom=0 left=0 right=0} where there is no icon.

Can you help me on this one ?

Hello!
I've done the same job on the TaskPanel and it works pretty well.

I’ve used the methods: ret = pTaskPanelItem->GetInvalidateRect(); and ret = pTaskPanelItem->GetTextRect();

Still no idea how I can do the same with ReportControl component?

They replied to my ticket:

“Hello,

you can not retrieve the coordinates of an item, you need to calculate them. You need to do the following:

1) Get the screenrows
CXTPReportScreenRows *pScreenRows = m_wndReport.GetSections()->GetAt(1)->GetRows()->GetScreenRows();

2) Find the item row in the screen rows
pScreenRows is a CArray, loop through the array to find pItem->CXTPReportRecord()

3) You then need to intersect the row rectangle with the column rectangle (pColumn->GetRect())

I didn’t try it yet.
