Crosstab cell height / margins

rbuser

Hi,

I searched old posts and noticed that only way to change crosstab cell
margins is to make own crosstab renderer. Last night i tried but it didn't
work. Is there anywhere examples or could you tell me what to do -
- classes to take out from myppCtRend.pas,
- classes to rename,
- do i need to unregister original class?

Thank you.

Hi Mika,

As an initial step to customizing the crosstab component is to understand
how it originally works. The TppCrossTab component is extensively
documented and I would suggest reading through the help files on the
TppMatrix before tackling the renderer. Depending on what you are trying to
accomplish with this new renderer, this should give you a better idea which
classes you will need to create for your needs. Yes you will need to
unregister the original class if you would like the TppCrossTab component to
use your custom renderer.

Note: Although we do not recommend trying to create a new renderer, we have
had some customers in the past do so with some success. The CrossTab itself
took many months of design and development to complete so creating a custom
renderer for this component probably will not be an easy task. You may want
to check out Grid Pack by PlanIT (http://www.planit-tech.com/) for
ReportBuilder. This third party component includes a crosstab component
that is fully customizable.
