Hi I'm in trouble with Multi-Column.
The datasource for grid has 7 columns and first 'Identity' column is ServerOnly = true, and 'Identity2', 'Name' header of columns is single header, and the header of rest columns is multi. When I set Hidden=true instead of ServerOnly=true, it worked collectly. But ServerOnly=true, it shows me strange. What is wrong with this.
Here is my test code
void UltraWebGrid_InitializeDataSource(object sender, UltraGridEventArgs e) { DataTable table = new DataTable("table"); table.Columns.Add("ID"); table.Columns.Add("NAME"); table.Columns.Add("SCORE"); table.Columns.Add("ADDR"); table.Columns.Add("PHONE"); for (int i = 0; i < 40; i++) { DataRow row = table.NewRow(); row["ID"] = i; row["NAME"] = (char)(i + 65); row["SCORE"] = (i < 3) ? 30 : (i < 6) ? 60 : 100; row["ADDR"] = "Dobong-gu Seoul"; row["PHONE"] = "000-0000-1234";
table.Rows.Add(row); }
((UltraWebGrid)sender).DataSource = table; }
private void SetColumn() { UltraWebGrid1.Bands[0].HeaderLayout.Clear(); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Clear(); UltraGridColumn col; col = GetNewColumn("ID1", "ID", "Identity1"); col.Width = new Unit(50); col.ServerOnly = true; UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("ID2", "ID", "Identity2"); col.Width = new Unit(50); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("NAME", "NAME", "Name"); col.Width = new Unit(50); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("SCORE", "SCORE", "Score"); col.Width = new Unit(50); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("ADDR", "ADDR", "Addr"); col.Width = new Unit(100); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("PHONE1", "PHONE", "Phone1"); col.Width = new Unit(100); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
col = GetNewColumn("PHONE2", "PHONE", "Phone2"); col.Width = new Unit(100); UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Add(col);
UltraWebGrid1.Bands[0].FilterOptions.AllowRowFiltering = RowFiltering.OnServer; UltraWebGrid1.Bands[0].FilterOptions.RowFilterMode = RowFilterMode.SiblingRowsOnly; } private UltraGridColumn GetNewColumn(string key, string basecolname, string caption) { UltraGridColumn col = new UltraGridColumn(); col.Header.Style.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center; col.Key = key; col.BaseColumnName = basecolname; col.Header.Caption = caption; return col; } private void SetMultiColumn() { int multistartindex = 3; for (int i = 0; i < UltraWebGrid1.Columns.Count;i++ ) { UltraGridColumn c = UltraWebGrid1.Columns[i]; c.Header.RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 1;
if (i >= multistartindex) { c.Header.RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 1; } else { c.Header.RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 0; c.Header.RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 2; } }
ColumnHeader ch = new ColumnHeader(true); ch.Caption = "Operating Temperature"; ch.Style.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center; ch.RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = multistartindex-1; ch.RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 0; UltraWebGrid1.Bands[0].HeaderLayout.Add(ch); ch.RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 4; }
not yet any reply..
reason of using ServerOnly property is for Excel export. I need to show the invisible columns to excel.
without looking at the code, you could always rebind the data at the time of export allowing you to include your extra columns etc
Furthermore, you could "unhide" the hidden columns in the before export event so that they will still appear in Excel but be hidden when viewed in the grid...
would this help?
Thank you dtnixon. Your tip is very good. It works.
Have a good day.
