CXTPReportControl Request

It would be great if the control had a function to safe the current layout (columns index, sort order, grouped columns, etc) to a string.

Thanks, Italo.

Thanks, but I was hoping to be able to serialize it to a string (maybe XML).

Window positions are just a binary WINDOWPOS  struct saved to the registry, not strings or xml.

Point was "Yea, I dont understand why they didnt stick with *their* standard of saving to an XML file or registry or whatever, like docking panes or window positions." when the only thing that really applies to is docking pane layouts as far as I can tell.  Every other thing I have saved to the registry via codejock is a binary structure as far as I have seen.

void CReportSampleView::LoadReportState()
{
 UINT nBytes = 0;
 LPBYTE pData = 0;
 
 if (!AfxGetApp()->GetProfileBinary(_T("ReportControl"), _T("State"), &pData, &nBytes))
  return;

 CMemFile memFile(pData, nBytes);
 CArchive ar (&memFile,CArchive::load);
 
 try
 { 
  m_wndReport.SerializeState(ar);

 }
 catch (COleException* pEx)
 {
  pEx->Delete ();
 }
 catch (CArchiveException* pEx)
 {
  pEx->Delete ();
 }
 
 ar.Close();
 memFile.Close();
 delete[] pData;
}

void CReportSampleView::SaveReportState()
{
 CMemFile memFile;
 CArchive ar (&memFile,CArchive::store);
 
 m_wndReport.SerializeState(ar);

 ar.Flush();

 DWORD nBytes = (DWORD)memFile.GetPosition();
 LPBYTE pData = memFile.Detach();

 AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileBinary(_T("ReportControl") , _T("State"), pData, nBytes);

 ar.Close();
 memFile.Close();
 free(pData); 

}
