Any possibility to dynamically construct grid as basic report designer?
posted

Hi,

Is there any prototype demo which can show how to develop a mini/basic report designer? As the following concept for runtime:

a, one blanket grid on the form witout any column and row.
b, by key/mouse operating event, the column and row can be dynamically added with some typical properties (formual,format,...) .
c, serialize/deserialize the layout of grid, including the predefined value/text in some cells.

Is it possbile? Any exist demo for this purpose? :-)

Thanks

    Hi,

    I'm not aware of any existing samples of this, but everything you listed here seems doable with a little coding.

    You could easily set up an empty grid with an UltraDataSource as it's DataSource. You could use a right-click menu or any other UI you want to allow the user to add columns and/or rows.

    Serializing the grid would be pretty simple. In this case, you would just use the Save/Load methods on the grid's DisplayLayout. To save the data, you would use the save and load methods on the UltraDataSource.
