How to make title row of crosstab invisible

Question

I have designed the following crosstab in my report:

Is there a way I can make the first (title) row invisible (the row that mentions ‘Sum of resultaat’ and ‘volgnumm’). I have no clue how to achieve this…

Answer 1

I got word from Nard Moseley from digital-metaphors that it's impossible to do at this moment:

"There are no properties or events to control that. You could set the captions to empty string, but no way to delete the row entirely."

Answer 2

You don't specify which version of ReportBuilder you are using, but I've had a look at my version here (Version 10) and the CrossTab component does appear quite limited in terms of customisation.

However, ReportBuilder is quite well structured and a quick look at the ppCTRend.pas file reveals that it should be possible to create your own custom renderer derived from TppCustomCrossTabRenderer (remembering to register the rendering class with a call to ppRegisterRenderer). Methods to look at would be AddTextToPage and DrawCells
