Hi,

is there an example of how to create a ReportGrid in an user defined resizable dialog --- class MyDialog : public CDialog ---?

Thanks for any help,

Martin

Works perfect - Thank you VERY MUCH!

One more question from me bloody prof-ui newbie:

how do I set up a message handling routine properly if I want to notify any user actions (mouse, keyboard) due to data selection changes in my dialog’s report grid tree in order to extract the recently selected item (CString in a specific column)?

Martin

You can do this by overriding the OnGbwSelectionChanged() virtual method to track when selection changes.

Thank you VERY much!

My customized dialog is working fine now! But how can I implement the nice persistence features used by the overwhelming but somehow confusing sample app "ReportGrid-nd.exe"? (i.e. how can I (re)store a previous custom grouping)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Martin

The following methods of the CExtReportGridWnd class load/save the state from/to the registry or an MFC acrchive:

      // state serialization
      virtual bool ReportGridStateSerialize(
            CArchive & ar,
            bool bSerializeColumnAlignment = true,
            bool bSerializeSortOrder = true,
            bool bEnableThrowExceptions = false,
            bool * p_bFormatIncompatibilityDuringLoad = NULL
            );
      bool ReportGridStateLoad(
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sReportGridID,
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameCompany, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameProduct, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\%sSectionNameCompany%
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameProfile, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\%sSectionNameCompany%\%sSectionNameProfile%
            HKEY hKeyRoot = HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
            bool bSerializeColumnAlignment = true,
            bool bSerializeSortOrder = true,
            bool bEnableThrowExceptions = false,
            bool * p_bFormatIncompatibilityDuringLoad = NULL
            );
      bool ReportGridStateSave(
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sReportGridID,
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameCompany, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameProduct, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\%sSectionNameCompany%
            __EXT_MFC_SAFE_LPCTSTR sSectionNameProfile, // under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\%sSectionNameCompany%\%sSectionNameProfile%
            HKEY hKeyRoot = HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
            bool bSerializeColumnAlignment = true,
            bool bSerializeSortOrder = true,
            bool bEnableThrowExceptions = false,
            bool * p_bFormatIncompatibilityDuringLoad = NULL
            );

The ReportGrid sample uses the CExtReportGridWnd::ReportGridStateLoad() and CExtReportGridWnd::ReportGridStateSave() methods for lading/saving the state of the report grid control from/to the system registry.

Thank you very much for helping me,
