Hi,

We have a report designer project which uses Active Reports.
We want to use SubReport tool of the Active Reports.
Subreport control has a "report" property which fills the ActiveReport content of the Subreport.
Since we have a designer project and a SubReport tool,
I want to add a property to the SubReport control which opens a new form that enables user to choose a report from the list and load report into the SubReport control.

So how can I add a property to a control which opens a new windows form?

Thanks in advance

Hi...

You need to create user control with that control, then you can define new properties.

//SubReport control properties are set as follows:

public class SubReportProp
{
private DataDynamics.ActiveReports.SubReport _SubReport;

public SubReportProp(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.SubReport subReport, List<string> fieldCollection)
{
this._SubReport = subReport;

if (fieldCollection != null && fieldCollection.Count > 0)
{
FieldVars._DataFields = fieldCollection;
}
}

[DisplayName("X")]
[Description("Kontrolün yatay konumunu getirir veya ayarlar.")]
[Category("Konum")]
public float X
{
get
{
return SharedProp.TrimFloatValue(ActiveReport.InchToCm(_SubReport.Location.X));
}
set
{
_SubReport.Location = new PointF(ActiveReport.CmToInch(value), _SubReport.Location.Y);
}
}

[DisplayName("Y")]
[Description("Kontrolün dikey konumunu getirir veya ayarlar.")]
[Category("Konum")]
public float Y
{
get
{
return SharedProp.TrimFloatValue(ActiveReport.InchToCm(_SubReport.Location.Y));
}
set
{
_SubReport.Location = new PointF(_SubReport.Location.X, ActiveReport.CmToInch(value));
}
}
}

//like this x , y coordinates I also need to add another property which enables user to choose a report from a list and apply to _SubReport.Report

Thanks
