I've got a Delphi 2007 VM which includes a reasonably up-to-date Report Builder and Dev Express Suite. I use it for a particular project for a particular client. For that same client, I also have a D5 VM which just so happens to use a (different, older) version of Report Builder and a different (older) version of some of the Dev Express...
In my MDI application, I've started noticing that with a child maximized, the other (inactive) MDI children are not maximized. This results in less-than-seamless switching between children, since the new active application shows up normal on screen before it gets maximized. I would expect it to instead keep the background windows maximiz...

I am displaying a fixed sequence in the tree list along with some values and clicking on the header will sort it by the value in the column that belongs to the header. I haven't found any obvious property of the XtraTreeList that would disallow this sorting. ...
I'm a long-time user of the DevExpress XPO library. It has many great features, but there are a few weaknesses: When saving an existing object, all properties are sent in an update query; changes are tracked on a per-object basis, not per-property. Optimistic locking is done on a per-object basis, rather than per-column. When an optim...
I am actually finding that chkContactType.Items is empty when I step through the code. I even added a Watch to chkContactType.Items.Count and it is never anything but 0. I am severly confused now as it obviously isn't as my Insert method works fine which uses these same boxes and inserts the Value Member for each item.... I have som...

I have a report with a group header and footer. There should be only two groups based on the data. I have the Group Footer set to have a page break after it. I don't want the last Group to create a page break before the Report Footer (If I did, I would set the report footer to have a page break before it.). I've never had this problem w...
I am working with QuantumGrid 6 from Devexpress. I need to store the grids settings in an xml configuration file. Unfortunately, the grid does not allow XML as a storage option. I can however export the settings to a stream. I'm thinking to export to a stream then convert the stream to text and store it as an xml value. I guess the text...
I am using DevExpress controls in a winform app I am building for internal use. My app has about 30 forms in total and I am trying to figure out a way to allow my user's to select a theme. I have seen this mentioned here at SO multiple times in answers to other posts. I understand how the StyleController works, I believe, but what I...
We are currnetly an Infragistics NetAdvantage Select customer and have been for a few years. Their controls are ok but not what I would call great but the time invested in learning them to date is the main reason we stick with them. We use both ASP.NET and Winnform controls. As we are due to renew, we are considering DevExpress as an o...
I need a mechanism that is not sending a filterquery for every keystroke the user types in the AutoFilterRow because this is to slow. can I catch some events after a user types a keystroke in a column of the AutoFilterRow ? I mean, when user ends editing the filter value, and presses enter, that should be the time i want to handle the g...
Hello everybody, I need to serialize a report design. This is the scenario: The app has base reports, let's say "Sales Report" with a set of pre-defined columns and design, like the corp. logo in the header. The users needs to have the ability to change that layout adding, for example, a footer with the office address, or page numbers...
This should be a fairly easy task, however I'm a bit stumped, I have a LookUpEdit control, I have databound it to a datasource and set the displaymember and ValueMenber correctly. This control is now correctly populating. My problem is that normally I would pull some data and then 'set' it to the ID eg: LookUpEdit.EditValue = [Some ID...
I'm taking a look now to XtraReports reporting tool and there's something that I don't get it yet. How do I set the data source for a certain field (showed in the report as a Label I guess), without having to build a connection, adapter and dataset at design time but doing it programatically. For example, I can have a table called "Use...
