I have an UltraGrid (Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid) which has several kinds of headers. The layout takes this format:

Section Header
ColumnX ColumnY
DataX1 DataY1
DataX2 DataY2
... ....

I currently use this.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowMultiCellOperations = AllowMultiCellOperation.CopyWithHeaders; when I copy with headers. However, when I do a copy with headers and paste, my results take the format:

ColumnX ColumnY
DataX1 DataY1
DataX2 DataY2
... ....

This is problematic because the grid can have several sets of data side-by-side with different section headers. The column names remain the same: X, Y, X, Y, ..., with different sets of data below the first X and the second X . So the user cannot tell which columns match which section headers.

One workaround for this could be to temporarily select the column headers (recursing or iterating as long as the current header has another header above it), perform a CopyWithHeaders, and deselect the column headers. Would this work? Or is there a better way to go about this?

Hi,

I don't see any way to do this using Groups. Group Headers are not included in the Copy operation.

You should Submit a feature request to Infragistics

Hi Mike,

The section headers' titles are the keys for their corresponding UltraGridGroups. Each UltraGridGroup contains two columns. All of the first columns of each UltraGridGroup have the same title in their column header (I called them "X" in the earlier post), and likewise all of the second columns of each UltraGridGroup have the same title ("Y"). So the Data values from my example are in their corresponding columns' cells, and "X" or "Y" is the key for the column headers.

I don't believe we are using RowLayouts on this form.

Thanks!

Hi,

What is the Section Header? Is that a group header? Or a column header? Are you using RowLayouts?

I'm pretty sure that the current AllowMultiCellOperation functionality in the grid does not support group headers, but your solution might work if the section header is a column header acting as a group header.
