Will Codejock support multi-row header feature?

Thanks!

Multiline text is supported for the header in the same way as for cells.
Set FixedRowHeight to FALSE and add WordBreak flag to Alignment.
Also you may use �\n� char in the header text.

I did try this and it works to a point, however, if some header columns have 3 lines of text and some just have 1 line of text, the column header with the 1 line of text is centered vertically in the column header which looks bad and is not the standard display arrangement for column headings that have a mixture of 1,2, and 3 line column headings.

In other words, they column heading text should start vertically from the bottom, so if only 1 line of text it is on the bottom line, if 2 lines of text then it is on the bottom 2 lines, etc.

To adjust, add newlines before or after your text as many you need to adjust at top, center or bottom.

Thanks, that is definately a work-around (although tedious), but other controls do this for you automatically. The purpose for 3rd party controls is to take the drudgery out of the equation.

I believe this feature request is similar to mine. I want to add a row just below the header, with filtering options. This row must not be movable!

|----------------------------------------|

| Date | Folder | Description |

|----------------------------------------|

| DATE | COMBO \/ | EDIT | <--- filtering using different controls!

|----------------------------------------|
|Row 1... |

|Row 2 |
|Row n... |
|----------------------------------------|

Is this possible with the current implementation?

Hi;

I did it this way:

GetHeaderRecords()->Add(new CStateReportRecord());

HeaderRowsAllowEdit(TRUE);

ShowHeaderRows(TRUE);

I'm also interested in this, but where CStateReportRecord() comes from ? Any sample code to show how it is derived from CXTPReportRecord ?

TIA

zaksoft, you could use any record class. See CMessageRecord in ReportSample.

Just reading the tips here... I have a question regarding the Multiline Headers.

When Alignment is combined with the break line flag I can only seem to get it to respect my alignment flag for cells and not the header itself.

i.e.

nAlign = m_bMultilineSample ? (xtpColumnTextCenter | DT_WORDBREAK) : (nAlign & (~DT_WORDBREAK));

pColumn->SetAlignment(nAlign); <--- Is Centered.. Works!
pColumn->SetHeaderAlignment(nAlign); <--- Always left Aligned?

Is there a way to get CENTERED multiline headers?

If you ask me, the header/footer rows are quite buggy. I think I have posted like 5 buts regarding them...

Hence, if you suspect a bug, post it. With a bit of luck, they will be fixed in v12 :)
