Can I Force a Column to be Grouped?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is it possible to force a specific column to be grouped?  I can "suggest" that the column be grouped using the following code:

{
CXTPReportColumn *pColumn = m_wndReport.AddColumn(new CXTPReportColumn(0, _T("Test Column"), 50));

CXTPReportColumns *pColumns = m_wndReport.GetColumns();

CXTPReportColumnOrder *pColumnOrder = pColumns->GetGroupsOrder();

pColumnOrder->InsertAt(0, pColumn);

pColumn->SetVisible(FALSE);
}
But doing this only starts the control off with the grouping, it doesn't deny users from subsequently removing the grouping.  Can I turn off the ability to remove just this column from the grouping.  (i could turn it all off by hiding the GroupBy header, but I don't want to do that).
Thanks,
E

	Hi Eric, See ReportColumn methods Set(Is)Groupable, Set(Is)Sortable. They could probably help you. Also, if you�re adding a custom column which is derived from standard CXTPReportColumn, you can set the internal member m_bAllowDrag to FALSE for this column. It will prevent it from being dragged from the Group By header. But note that it would also prevent it from being dragged from its place on the Report header. -- WBR, Serge
