The wndReportControl_ColumnClick event appears to only work with the right mouse button is clicked. Is there a way to detect when the Left mouse buttone is clicked? If I am right, the event should be renamed wndReportControl_ColumnRClick to avoid confusion. If I am wrong, my appoligies.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

If you read the description for the ColumnClick Event in the documentation it states:

Occurs when a XtremeReportControl%7EReportColumn.html - ReportColumn header is right-clicked in the XtremeReportControl%7EReportControl.html - ReportControl .

Parameters

Column: The XtremeReportControl%7EReportColumn.html - ReportColumn that was right-clicked

So I would bet you can't detect the left click from this event. Granted some of the name conventions might not be really specific, ambiguous, or real clear until you read about the event. Possibly why it's not ColumnRClick is that down the road they might expand the functionality of the event. Plus I really don't to go through 80k lines of code to find all my ColumnClick events need to be changed.

OK. So is there a way to detect when a column is "left" clicked?

The left click in the Report Control is pretty much locked up with the changing of sorting and selecting a row or column inside of a row to edit.

You can test for a left click by using the mouse up on the left button and report back the x,y coordinates of the report control to determine which column you are on.

May I ask what are you trying to accomplish?

I am trying to perform a sort by hand since the sorting wihtint a treeview isn't working. If I can detect that the user has clicked a column header with the left mouse button, I can then sort the records by hand.

I'm not sure if it's possible to pull that one off. We had a similar issue with trying to create a tree and sorting. Even though the records are connected, the columns sort on the parent not it's content.

Possibly look into setting up a SortOrderChanged Event or SortPriority property.

I will do that. Thank you.
