CGXGridCore::CanMergeCell

virtual BOOL CanMergeCell(CGXControl* pControl, ROWCOL nRow, ROWCOL nCol, const CGXStyle& style, int mtType);

pControl

Points to the control object associated with the cell.

nRow

Specifies the row id.

nCol

Specifies the column id.

style

Const reference to the style object with all style information for the cell.

mtType

  • Specifies type of merging:

  • mtVert for vertical cell merging

mtHorz for horizontal cell merging

Return Value

TRUE if merging the cell is allowed; FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

Objective Grid calls this method to check if it is possible to merge a cell in the specified direction (vertical or horizontal).

CGXGridCore::CanMergeCell checks the CGXStyle::SetMergeCell attribute. If this attribute does allow cell merging, the method calls CGXControl::CanMergeCell. Depending on the cell type, CGXControl::CanMergeCell will allow merging cells.

By default all cell types support cell merging. Override CanMergeCell if you want to disable merging cells for certain cell types.

Control-Factory Specific ->

This method has been implemented using the abstraction mechanism as discussed in the chapter "Reducing the size of your application" in the user's guide. A call to the ImplementMergeCells method from within the control factory class' InitializeGridComponents method will make the concrete implementation of this method available to your application.

If no concrete implementation is available this method returns FALSE. No action is performed.
