    Hello,

    is it possible to merge cells with same value in FlexReport column in detail?

    Thanx

    Hello,

    Though direct merging is not possible, you can hide the duplicate values using script, as explained in the blog link below:

    Hope it helps.

    Hello,

    I used to use property HideDuplicates in C1 which also exists in FlexReport but its not working. Why I must use your script instead of property HideDuplicates?

    Hello,

    This field that you refer to, is a Legacy Field. It is the field based on the Field class (as in C1Report), instead of the FieldBase class. However, I understand that the HideDuplicates property of this field should work as expected and hence, I have escalated this issue to the concerned team [Internal Tracking ID: 407641]. Will get back to you when I receive any update.

    Specifically FlexReport related TextFields do not have this property and for using them, scripts can used (as previously mentioned).

    Thanks,

    Esha

    Hello,

    Just for our information, do you use C1.web.api.report here as well?

    Thanks.

    :slight_smile: Yes.

    The issue will be fixed with 2020v1 release.

    Hello, I would like to use the script that you have mentioned here but I need to know how to use the script in a dynamically created report. I am building the report dynamically in code setting up the report header, page header, detail, and page footer. I need to know how to add script dynamically also so it can use the script when the report is built to omit duplicates.

    Hi Bernard,

    You can use the OnFormat or OnPrint property of the Section class of the FlexReport to write your script.

    The links for the same is given below:

    https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexreport/C1.Win.FlexReport.4.5.2~C1.Win.FlexReport.Section~OnFormat.html

    https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexreport/C1.Win.FlexReport.4.5.2~C1.Win.FlexReport.Section~OnPrint.html

    If you need any other help, please let me know.

    Regards,

    Prabhat Sharma.

    The URLs you provided respond with an Invalid URL message. And I did see the OnFormat property but didn’t know how to set this property. I need to know how I can add multiple lines of script so a full If condition can be interjected.

    Hi Bernard,

    Sorry for the invalid URLs.

    I have attached a demo sample which shows how you can write scripts via code at runtime, please take a look.

    You can also go through the following links which demonstrate the same:

    I tried a few options here and I can get the ForeColor of a field to change based on the values of fields in the Detail but I can seem to change the BackColor. I found a sample where someone is using a count and the mod function to check for every other line and set the background color but it won’t work. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Public LineColor As String = "cnt = cnt + 1" & vbCrLf & _
                                "If cnt Mod 2 = 0 Then" & vbCrLf & _
                                "  Detail.BackColor = RGB(211,211,211)" & vbCrLf & _
                                "Else" & vbCrLf & _
                                "  Detail.BackColor = vbWhite" & vbCrLf & _
                                "End If"
    
        ' Create the Detail section   
        s = C1FlexReport1.Sections(SectionTypeEnum.Detail)
        s.Name = "Detail"
        s.Height = 500
        s.Visible = True
        s.AutoHeight = AutoSizeBehavior.GrowAndShrink
        s.Border = New Border(2, Color.Black, DashStyle.Solid)
        s.OnFormat = LineColor

    Hi Bernard,

    Please use the code snippet given below to do the same:

    c1FlexReport1.OnOpen = "_styleCtr = 0";
    c1FlexReport1.Sections.Detail.OnPrint = "detail.BackColor = iif(_styleCtr mod 2 = 0, rgb(211, 211, 211), vbWhite)_styleCtr = _styleCtr + 1";
    
    

    Regards,

    Prabhat Sharma.
