Hierarchy

Sheets can display relational data, such as from a relational database, in hierarchical views.

Hierarchy example

The user can expand or collapse the levels of the hierarchy by clicking on the expand and collapse hierarchy icons (plus and minus signs).

To set up hierarchical data display, you first create a data set to hold the relational data, then define the relations between the data, and finally, set the FarPoint Spread component to display the data as you want. You can customize the cell type, the colors, the headers, and other aspects of the appearance of the view. You can also bind to a hierarchical collection.


"As a long time user of your Spread COM product I have always been pleased with the flexibility and user friendly aspects of the control and it is great to see that your Windows Forms control continues this tradition!

Now that you are part of the same company which created ActiveReports (another product I have been a user of for a long time) I look forward to creating feature rich applications which will benefit my customers and my company. Excited to get started!"
