Hey Mike,

I did not know it cloned the gridlayout like that.  That would explain it.

So, since it does clone the layout, I am assuming I can get to the printout layout and modify it without effecting my grid layout?

Can I apply appstyles to it?

Yes, you can. That's the main reason we do it. :)

Well, Appstyling is static to the application. So you can't apply a different Application Style to the printed layout than you have applied to the on-screen layout.

Mike,

My filters were working well until I put them into the InitializePrint event.  I like the fact that I can change the layouts in there instead of changing my screen layout.  I am assuming I can also change the filtering in the InitializePrint event.

I ran into a problem with this.

I set a filter variable in code and pick it up in the InitializePrint event( it is called _terrSort).

_terrSort is a 2 digit code (1 to 99).

If I run the following code with _terrSort=1 using code option #1 I get 1's, 11's and 21's.

If I run the following code with _terrSort=1 using code option #2 I get only 1's(which is correct).

Option #2 uses the class I built, but the code in option #1 does the same thing. 

Why do I get two different sets of results?

Private Sub ug_CommissionDetail_InitializePrint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CancelablePrintEventArgs) Handles ug_CommissionDetail.InitializePrint
        If e.PrintLayout.IsPrintLayout Then
            Dim colfilter As ColumnFilter
            Dim column As UltraGridColumn
            colfilter = e.PrintLayout.Bands(0).ColumnFilters("PTRTRY")
            column = e.PrintLayout.Bands(0).Columns("PTRTRY")

            With e.PrintLayout.Bands(0)
                .ColumnFilters.ClearAllFilters()
option 1---> .ColumnFilters("PTRTRY").FilterConditions.Add(FilterComparisionOperator.Match, _terrSort)

option 2--->  colfilter.FilterConditions.Add(New Comm_FilterCondition(column,   

                                   FilterComparisionOperator.Match, _terrSort))

         End With

   End If

I'm not sure I understand the question. Clearly, if you are getting different results, then your Comm_FilterCondition class's MeetsCriteria method must be doing something differently then the grid's default filtering logic.

Since I don't have you Comm_FilterCondition class, I don't see what useful advice I can offer you on why that's happening.

Mike,

Sorry about that.  I forgot to include the class.

   Private Class Comm_FilterCondition
        Inherits FilterCondition

        Public Sub New(ByVal info As System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo, ByVal context As System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext)
            MyBase.New(info, context)
        End Sub

        Public Sub New(ByVal column As UltraGridColumn, ByVal comparisionOperator As FilterComparisionOperator, ByVal compareValue As Object)
            MyBase.new(column, comparisionOperator, compareValue)
        End Sub

        Public Overrides Function MeetsCriteria(ByVal row As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow) As Boolean
            Dim cellText As String = row.Cells(Me.Column.Key).Value.ToString()
            If Me.ComparisionOperator = FilterComparisionOperator.Match Then
                Return cellText.ToLower = Me.CompareValue.ToString.ToLower
            Else
                Return cellText.Contains(Me.CompareValue.ToString())
            End If
        End Function
    End Class

I can use the class here, but the question I have is why do I have to use the class?  why can't the filtercondition (Option #1) get the correct records?   Why does it include records that are clearly not a match?

If i ask for a filter on Territory 1, then I should only get matches for territory 1....not 11 and 21 and anything else that ends with 1.

Am i missing something with the filterconditions?

I tried putting this code in my Sub before the grid.print, but it did the same.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the issue here. But it looks to me like you should be using Equals instead of Match.

Hey Mike,

I understand about the class working now because it is ignoring the .match operator.

Yes, I am speaking of the Intellisense List.   The FilterComparisionOperator.Equals does not exist.  I can type it in and it does work, but it is not in the intellisense. 

I am running version 20081.2161 ONLY.  That is what is in my References.  I had to uninstall all previous versions to get 2161 to install.  There are no other versions installed on this machine.   Is there any other place I should be looking to determine if the FilterComparisionOperator has multiple definitions?

But we also have a second machine here running 20081.2150 and the .Equals does not exist on it either. 

It is possible that is was missing from the IG installs.

I appreciate your patience.

Could you explain what the MATCH operator does (for future reference)?

Hi Duane,

I went ahead and tried it anyway and it worked.  Any reason why it is not in the list, yet it is accepted?

To what list are you referring? The Intellisense list in Visual Studio shows all of the enum values for me, including Equals. If it's not showing up on yours, then something is wrong on your machine or your installation of Visual Studio. Maybe there are multiple definitions of FilterComparisionOperator in your project or something.

Well, "Match" worked in the class i built, so I thought it should have worked in the other code too.  That is really confusing and frustrating to me when code will work in one place and not in another.

I don't like guessing until I find something that works.  It takes too much time

I appreciate your time helping me find something so simple.

Match works in the class you built because the operator is completely irrelevant in the class you built. You are overriding the MeetsCriteria method and only returning true when the values are equal. The operator in that case is provided so that you can use it if you want to, but your code is basically ignoring it and performing an Equals comparison on the value.

I thought the same thing, but it is not in the list.  I thought that strange.
