Hi folks,
my first question would be the following. I am trying to Export a Webgrid which is design with multi column headers. Each time the export works fine except the mutli cloumn header wich i added in the webgrid's UWG_InitializeLayout Method the following way.
In the Browser it works fine. But after Export it is invisible.
Dim ch As New Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.ColumnHeader(True) ch.Caption = "Employee's Name" ' set the origin to be on the top most level of the header ch.RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 0 ' extend the newly added header over 3 columns ch.RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 20 ' add the header into the header layout e.Layout.Bands(0).HeaderLayout.Add(ch)
The current version of the Excel Exporter doesn't support exporting multi-row headers. Unfortunate, I know. But you can manually add the headers to the Excel sheet during the export by using the e.CurrentWorksheet.MergedCellsRegions.Add method in the BeginExport event.
That also means you'll need to come up with some way of saving the info in the multi-row headers. Once you add a header row by using the code you posted, you won't be able to look up that same information during the BeginExport event. You'll have to save that header info in a custom object or some other store and move it to the export event yourself.
Hope that helps,
Mike
But how do you *add* a new header row during the export?
Hello Just wanted to check if any body got a solution to this.
hi,
We also need a similar solution...to export multi column headers in Excel and PDF? Any answer you found?
Appreciate it!
Thx!
Has this been fixed in any of the recent versions? I'm using V12.2 SR2075. I would rather not add all that extra code if this has been fixed.
Thanks.
Excellent stuff manish. Thanks a lot for ur code.
Ok Thank You.
Can you do me one help? i couldn't understand the logic. Please explain me the logic here mainly for HeaderCellExporting and RowExporting event so that i can do it in my code.
you are expecting a copy and paste of the code.
You need to loop through Cells and Rows collection. If count is not there may be an alternate to use foreach loop.
Anyways I dont have VS 2005 on my machine and will not be able to help much.
i am using VS.Net 2005...Can you help me out how it can be implemented in VS 2005...
My version is Infragistics 8.2
