Hi,
in our company we use the UltraCalcManager in conjunction with a Grid. Since we work internationally our columns are translated, so our customers can easily work with our solution.
Now some of them use the UltraCalcManager in order to customize some summaries and encountered a problem. The UltraCalcManager only shows (as it seems) the .MappingName of the columns but not the ColumnNames as shown in the grid. Also in the UltraCalcManager they can see columns which are explicitly set to hidden in the Grid, which should not happen.
Could you please help me ? We use NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0.
Cheers,
Marcus
Hi Marcus,
I don't know what "MappingName" is. There's no such property in the grid that I am aware of.
The CalcManager displays the reference name for the column. It has to do this, because that's how the formula recognizes the columns. The CalcManager cannot use the caption of the column header that te user sees, since these are not neccessarily unique values.
The FormulaBuilder really isn't very flexible when it comes to displaying it for the users. It's really intended for the devloper. As such, there's currently no way to put in user-friendly display names for reference or to hide references for hidden columns.
You should Submit a feature request to Infragistics and perhaps these features can be added in a future release.
Hi Mike,
I was just wondering display of column caption in formula builder feature available in any recent release?
Thanks,
