Hi,

If anyone is able to help me I would like to produce the following layout in the Report Control.

The part I need the help with is the SUB TOTAL Line.

Display showing customer revenue this month.

+Customer 1

Invoice INV0001 $51

Invoice INV0003 $52

SUB TOTAL $103

+Customer 2

Invoice INV0002 $50

SUB TOTAL $50

+Customer 3

Invoice INV0004 $15

SUB TOTAL $15

-----------------------------------------

THIS MONTHS TOTAL $168

I have managed to get this working in a very fudged way and that is very draining on resources. I am hoping that someone can point me to some feature within the control to achieve this layout that I am unaware of.

Thank You.

Hi,

Try to use XAML
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh465055.aspx/" rel="nofollow - https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh465055.aspx/

Private Sub Form_Load()
    wndReportControl.EnableMarkup = True
    ...
End Sub

Private Sub AddRecord(...)
    Dim Record As ReportRecord
    Set Record = wndReportControl.Records.Add()

    Dim Item As ReportRecordItem
    Set Item = Record.AddItem("")
        Item.Caption = "<Line Stroke='Black' X2='400' VerticalAlignment='Center'/>"
  ...
End Sub

Regards,
Oleksandr Lebed

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

What I need is a footer item within each parent item in the tree (the customers). This would be used to show the totals for all the child items (the invoices)

As I said I have managed to fudge this by manually adding a row, using custom drawing to shade it, setting some hidden grouping to force it to the bottom.... and while this does work, when the report control starts getting a lot of data in it the thing just grinds to a halt.

If this isn't possible now, could I request this feature for a future release please.

There is a property called "Sections" on the report control. I was hoping maybe this might be something that could help. The documentation just says sections are sections so not very helpful.

Thanks again.

You can look how sections looks and uses in our ReportSample

in MainMenu->"Additional Samples"->"Merged Cell Sample"
