Hi
I want my grid to display rows horizontally instead of vertically and so I am using card view.
Now I want the card view headers to have group header captions so that column header caption text can be reduced and repeatition can be avoided.
Normal groups are not working. Is there another / correct way to do above ?
Thanks and Regards
Abhishek
Hi,
Okay, I understand, now.
Cardview doesn't support groups and levels in the normal layout. This is supported when using RowLayouts, but only in the latest version of the grid (NetAdvantage 2009 Volume 2). Before that, RowLayouts did not support groups in or out of CardView mode.
In the version you have, RowLayouts are supported, but not with groups. So the only thing that might work is... you could add a couple of unbound columns and set the column.RowLayoutInfo.LabelStyle to None. This gives you a column header with no cells, so you can kinda use it as a simulated group header. I never tried this in CardView mode, but it should work in theory.
Hi Mike
Sorry for not being clear.
Yes I do mean the column headers.
Well repetition in the sense that suppose you have 3 columns -- Customer Name, Customer Telephone and Customer Fax. If Groups are available as they are in "normal" view, you would make a group "Customer" and then assign column captions as "Name", "Telephone" and "Fax".
I am using 2008 v2.
I hope I am making sense now.
Thanks
Hi Abhishek,
I'm afraid you lost me.
What do you mean by "Card View Headers?" Do you mean the Column Headers?
What do groups have to do with repetition?
Are you using RowLayouts?
What version of the controls are you using?
