could you explain a little more ?
what do mean with grid level ?

 

by: senadPosted on 2009-01-28 at 00:26:58ID: 23484459

With cxGrid you can display data from one table in various ways creating views.
First you create GridLevel and then the view you want .
Example: CxGridLevel1:CxGrid1DBTableView1
and so on...
My problem is that this table has too many columns for comfort(I do not need all the fields shown).So I split it in 2 parts (creating 2 TableViews).
However,some fields are still pretinent to both views so I have to filter them further.
The only way I can do it is by a field called EVENT.
Now in this event field values are "bill in" and "bill out".
So I want one view to show me "bill in" and the other"bill out".
But I want it done at runtime,not by using the filter in the columns:Understand?

um, just so you know ...
there is something in there called a banded table view (with DB if you like)

this lets you set multiple rows for each record and you can set each field (column) on a different row.
This will be a lot easier.

Here is a screenshot for a setup with 3 rows per record ...

How do you band table thing on a column?

 

by: Geert_GruwezPosted on 2009-01-28 at 04:55:30ID: 23485917

eh , ?
to have a banded table view :

hit customize button of grid
right click on level
create view -> Create DB Banded Table view

you set the *position* of each column on the bandindex, columnindex, rowindex

that's it

 

by: senadPosted on 2009-01-28 at 04:59:22ID: 23485947

"you set the *position* of each column on the bandindex, columnindex, rowindex"
