Printing grid with 2 columns of row headers

We have a grid where its the first time we have had 2 columns of row headers. When i print this grid it doesnt print a line to separate the second row/column header from the first editable column. I am attaching a sample. Any idea on what I am missing?? Thanks Phil grid_548.zip

It looks like you have turned off all the cell borders in that column, have you? Do you see the borders when you just display teh grid on teh screen?

Yes I see the borders when just viewing. I just started trying to print today

I tried this see this problem in this sample. It has 2 header rows, and does not seem to have a problem when I try to preview it or print it? Does it for you? What are you doing differently? Can you modify teh sample to show the problem?

Clay, I reproduced the problem in your sample. I found out what it was but dont understand the problem. What I did to get the second column was to go in to my column collection and clicked on column1 and changed the celltype to HEADER and then changed the basestyle to HEADER. When I do this in your code and comment out the following line this.gridControl1.Cols.HeaderCount = 1 then u get what I am seeing. What i dont know is if we are going about getting a second column the right way or not. If i chaned my code to what your doing i can only guess that its going to work but I havent tried it yet. So what I was doing is wrong??? Let me know. Thanks again for the fast service. Attached is your sample which will reproduce what i was seeing. Phil forum10933_7362.zip

Clay, One other thing. When we print and I tried this on your sample we dont get column1 or the second column header to print. When we print it prints column0 then goes right to column2 and skips coulumn 1??? Philo

On my last post I left out the fact that i was grabbing a selection of cells and not printing the whole grid.

To add new headerrows, you need to set the HeaderCount property. And to freeze them from scrolling, you need to set the FrozenCount property. Specifying a style.CellType = "Header" just defines how the grid will handle drawing the cell. For example, in a gridcontrol, you can set cell 5,8 to have "Header" celltype, but that will not make the cell ''behave'' like a header with respect to scrolling or handling clicks or other interactions on the cell. If you want to have additional ''header'' rows or ''header'' columns, then the proper way to do it is to set the HeaderCount property. If you do not want your new headers to scroll, then you should also set FrozenCount as well. This tells the grid to treat the columns as header columns. I suspect the not printing of column 1 is related to this same problem. When the grid prints a page, it prints the header rows and columns, then the interior cells. If column 1 is not a header column, and it was not explicitly selected when you made your selections, it would not be printed. So, maybe setting HeaderCount and FrozenCount will resolve these problems for you.

Clay, I tried that in my sample and then implented it in your sample and mine or your sample doesnt print the second column header when selecing a range. In your sample i had to add the allowselection in the print code. I will attach that and send it back now Phil forum10933_7915.zip

This is a bug that we will have to fix.
