How to set ColumnSpan and RowSpan for XRCrossTabCell in code

created 3 days ago (modified 2 days ago)

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T1279152: XtraReport - Display overview of all found nested groups AFTER displaying the details for these nested groups]

Just note: I create the report definitions by C# code on my own but in case of troubles I can export it to WYSIWYG editor, find the solution and then to project found solution to my code.

My current result is this summary table:

Issue 5) How can I set properties ColumnSpan and RowSpan of XRCrossTabCell object using the C# code? These properties are not accessible from the IDE but they can be set the in WYSIWYG editor.
It seems the properties are defined as:

Code
[DefaultValue(1)]
    [XtraSerializableProperty]
    [Browsable(false)]
    [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    public int ColumnSpan { get; set; } = 1;

The desired result is something like this:

Thank you very much. I know I have a lot of questions. :-)

Hello Miroslav,

XRCrossTabCell does not support the ColumnSpan and RowSpan properties. These properties only function for table cells. Therefore, they are not available in the Report Designer.

From what I gather, you wish to redesign the cross tab's header. If this is the case, I recommend you hide the header and add a separate XRTable above the cross tab. Use its cells and their ColumnSpan and RowSpan properties to design the required layout as needed.

Please try this solution and let me know if it meets your requirements. If not, please describe the desired result in greater detail.

Regards,
Aleksandr

      Thanks, your proposed solution could work.

      It seems I was mistaken by myself. I saw the table layout for XRCrossTab with the cells spanning across multiple rows or multiple cells. But this wasn't achieved by explicit definition of ColumnSpan or RowSpan - it is defined implicitly by setting the Column Fields and Row Fields…

      OK, so this is clear.
