Been struggling with getting a double row header look where the top header row associates adjacent cells in the lower header row.
I get my headers looking like I want them, but trouble is, as soon as I apply either method, my fixed headers behavior breaks.
Here's the look I want:
Name Info | Address Info |
First Name | Last Name | Number | Street | City |
I've achieved it two ways, with groups and rowlayout, but both seem to be incompatible with fixed headers, at least the way I've got things configured.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Bill
By fixed headers do you mean that you're setting the Fixed property on individual column headers? If so, you are correct in that this behavior is not supported when using RowLayouts. I believe the same is true when using groups as well, since the scrolling behavior would be weird when you pin just one column in a group but no where else. The same is true with Row Layouts, since you could essentially put a column anywhere, which would yield very unpredictable scrolling. Or do you just mean that you're trying to keep the all of the column headers visible at all times when scrolling vertically? If this is the case, I'd thing that setting the HeaderPlacement on the Override object to FixedOnTop should work.

Thanks, Matt; Thats my answer then, that I can't use a rowlayout AND pinned columns, (for horizonal scrolling).
Do you have a suggestion for how to create a 2 row header as I described above then? A 2-row header where the top header row has columns that span multiple columns in the lower header row, to visually associate adjacent columns in the lower row?

Bill,
I don't really have a suggestion as to how to accomplish this *and* maintain pinned columns, since I'm not sure how one would implement this. If you're asking about personal preference, using the Groups and Levels feature is what I use since it's a quick way to position the columns and automatically have a header group them. If you want more precise control over the sizing and positioning of these columns, then the Row Layout feature is your best bet. Is there a particular area that is giving you trouble with this, aside from the pinned columns?
No, the problem was getting both the header look we wanted *and* pinned columns. Guess we'll have to choose which is more important - pins me'thinks.
Thanks,
