Hi everyone

I've got a grid datawindow with several rather narrow columns. I'd like to have a group header that's wider than the columns and basically ignores the grid. (see example from Excel)

I've tried putting the control in the group header into the foreground/background layer, but that means it's no longer part of the group header and no longer repeated for each group.

Editing the source to change the width of the control only works until the first time someone changes the width of one of the columns.

Is there any way to achieve this in a grid datawindow?

Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus;

   My suggestion (FWIW) would be to build this as either a Nested or Composite DW with the Grid DW you have now. Then create a second DWO that represents the wider part. You might want to control them via a Group Break in the parent DWO. I think that should get the Look & Feel you are looking for.

Regards ... Chris
