the HitTest function don`t works with header rows. If I click in a header row, the HitTest function return "Nothing" for the item, column, row object.

The report control have HeaderRows, normal Rows and FooterRows collections.

 

The HitTest works only with normal Rows.

 

Not entirely helpful, but I didn't get 'Nothing'

 

Do you need the code I used?

 

I have no problem with the column header. I have problems with the header rows. See the picture. The row below the column header is the header row (ReportControl.HeaderRows). The HitTest for this row don`t work.

 

 

Taken from the sample, the following code will say you hit an unknown area when you do a hit test.

 

<code>

Private Sub wndReportControl_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Long, Y As Long)
    Dim hitColumn As ReportColumn
    Dim hitRow As ReportRow
    Dim hitItem As ReportRecordItem

    'The MouseDown event is being used to illustrate how the HitTest method can be used. The HitTest method does not have
    'to be used with a mouse event, it can be used to test any X and Y coordinate on the screen to see if the ReportControl
    'occupies these pixes and what part of the ReportControl is at the specified pixel (Group Box, Row, Item, etc).
    'If it is dertermined that a ReportControl component is at the X and Y coordinates, the HitTest method can return a
    'reference to that component (Column, Row, Record, Item, etc...).

    'Determines which part of the ReportControl the mouse was positioned over when clicked.
    Select Case wndReportControl.HitTest(X, Y).ht
        'If MouseDown while positioned anywhere over the Group Box (Even over Column Headers in Group Box)
        Case xtpHitTestGroupBox:
            Debug.Print "MouseDown in Group Box"
        'If MouseDown while positioned anywhere over the ColumnHeader area. This does NOT include
        'column header in the Group Box
        Case xtpHitTestHeader:
            Debug.Print "MouseDown in Column Header Area (Not in Group Box)"
        'If MouseDown while positioned over the Report Area, this would includ, rows, columns, items, goup rows, expand buttons
        Case xtpHitTestReportArea:
            Debug.Print "MouseDown in Report Area"
        'This case will never happen, Unknown is returned when HitTest is called and the mouse is positioned
        'over an area outside of the report control
        Case xtpHitTestUnknown:
            Debug.Print "Mouse is in an Unknown Area"
    End Select
 

End Sub

</code>

 

 

 

 

The unknown area is hit when you click on the header or footer, but it will not give you a row number or item where you clicked.  So its not useful.

 

I just wanted to show you that you can get the hit test to say something besides nothing.  But your right, it still needs to give use item info.
