How do I manipulate columns in the ItemsGrid component?

An ItemsGrid component has one or more ItemsColumn subcomponents. ItemsGrid and ItemsColumn components can be selected separately in the visual designer, and be set to define behavior and formatting through their unique attributes. The ItemsColumn component represents a data field for the items in the grid. Therefore, the ItemsGrid component renders a grid, or table, consisting of rows (items from an EnterpriseItems bean) and columns (fields from an ItemsColumn component).

You can perform several different actions with ItemsColumn components at design time. Existing columns can be removed from the ItemsGrid component.

ItemsColumn components can also be selected from the Palette view and dragged onto an existing ItemsGrid component in the page. This will create a new field column.

To add an ItemsColumn component
  1. In the Palette view, under the Crystal Reports Faces Components tab, click Enterprise ItemsColumn and drag an ItemsColumn component onto an existing ItemsGrid component in the visual designer.
  2. In the New ItemsColumn dialog box, on the Show Field list, click the name of the field that you want the column to display.
  3. Click Finish.

Finally, you can move existing ItemsColumn components within the ItemsGrid component to change the position and order of columns within the grid.
