Hi,
I tried printing detail grid using method suggested here-
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/S32528.aspx
I removed PrintingWindowsFormsModule from my project and added a new view as suggested in above link. In ListView popup I do get 3 new options for Page Setup, Print & Print Preview options. There are no menu options/ toolbar options added. In detail view I have few collection properties, these options are not available to the nested list views defeating the purpose of adding custom view controller.
Has anyone tried this before? Does it work? I have already upgraded to 9.1.5 and not tried this before.
I am particularly not happy about how MDI applications are managed in XAF. I am yet to write a single XAF windows application that is not using MDI and I believe this is the way most prepare their applications. Yet its not available as template in XAF. One has to go through many steps to make MDI application work, child detail view does not behave as MDI child until you find another post and add override method ShowInModalWindow in MDIStrategy (till today even MDIDemo application launches Person - Phone Number form as Modal dialog not as MDI child!), printing system does not work with nested list views! Additionally upgrade tool does not take care of custom changes done to provide MDI
functionality so you need to manually check if there any major changes
to MDIMain/ MDIChild template forms in DX sources that should be added manually. Can we request formal support for MDI template in XAF Win applications?
