Hi,

I tried out your code in a small sample and the first column ("Absolute/Tracking") is spanning across the entire row and there are 3 cells below it. So it would be physically impossible for this cell to be merged without it covering up the other 3 cells in each row.

So I'm confused about what you want to happen here.

HI,

here is my code sample , i have a datatable that i bound to the wingrid at runtime having 4 columns as 'Absolute/Tracking',val,'Risk,Return... i want to merge the column 'Absolute/Tracking' in such a way in RowLayout style that is describing with the code below i added this code at the UltraGrid_InitializeLayout event the code is below. I want to show the merged cell(Absolute/Tracking) as a top row merging cells horizontally. but i don't get the desired results merging has not been done to the desired column

// Applying Row Layout ///

            e.Layout.Bands[0].RowLayoutStyle = RowLayoutStyle.ColumnLayout;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 0;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 0;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 8;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.PreferredCellSize = new System.Drawing.Size(130, 0);
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.LabelPosition = LabelPosition.None;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["val"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 0;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["val"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["val"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["val"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 0;
            //e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["val"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.PreferredCellSize = new System.Drawing.Size(130, 0);
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Risk"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 4;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Risk"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Risk"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Risk"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 0;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Return"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginX = 6;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Return"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.OriginY = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Return"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanX = 2;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Return"].RowLayoutColumnInfo.SpanY = 0;

         //  **** Now merging the cell ****///

            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].MergedCellStyle = MergedCellStyle.Always;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].MergedCellContentArea = MergedCellContentArea.VirtualRect;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["Absolute/Tracking"].MergedCellEvaluationType = MergedCellEvaluationType.MergeSameText;

any help is highly appreciated!
