Merging both column Header and ExtraSection

Hi Aditi.Pisal,

You would have to derive the GridEngine and add an extra row header set up through the custom section above and below the the column header. Please refer this sample and let me know if this helps.

Hi Haneef,
Thanks for your sample .I have implemented it ,but I am getting an extra row below the columns as shown in the attachment.

I have also used the Employee View to merge the columns using the columnset.


Pls specify how to remove this extra row below the column headers.

Hi Aditi,

To remove the extra section placed below the column header in a grid, you need to comment the this.Sections.Add(new BelowColumnExtraSection(this)) statement in the OnInitializeSections override method of the GroupingChildTable class which is derived from the ChildTable class. Here is a code snippet

//// Extra section
//this.Sections.Add(new BelowColumnExtraSection(this));

Note : Please comment the lineno 134 in CustomEngine.cs file.

Hi Hannef,

I tried your earlier sugeestion of commenting the BelowColumnHeader Section and it worked.
Thanks a lot for that,
But the caption header is still visible ,which is not required.

I tried to comment that line too in Custom Engine .cs,but I get exception of "Object reference not set to an instance of the object".
Pls help.


Caption Header Problem.zip

Hi Aditi,

You would have to derive the ChildTable and override the IsChildVisible method to return the false value for the CaptionSection. Please let me know if this helps.

public override bool IsChildVisible(Element el)
{
if (this.IsTopLevelGroup )
{
if (el is CaptionSection )
return false;
else
return true;
}
}

Hi Haneef,
I tried the code given
if (this.IsTopLevelGroup )
{
if (el is CaptionSection )
return false;
else
return true;
}
But this is not at all working.
My earlier AboveColumnExtra section is also overridden and all the changes turn out in a mess.
Pls help
