Hi,

Please use the following code for that version:

Code: Select all

Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm previewForm = new Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm();
Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton myButton1 = new Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton();
Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton myButton2 = new Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton();
myButton1.Text = "myButton1";
myButton2.Text = "myButton2";
myButton1.Click += new EventHandler(myButton1_Click);
myButton2.Click += new EventHandler(myButton2_Click);

myButton1.Dock = DockStyle.Left;
myButton2.Dock = DockStyle.Left;

previewForm.PreviewControl.ToolBar.Controls.Add(myButton2);
previewForm.PreviewControl.ToolBar.Controls.Add(myButton1);
previewForm.Show();

Or you could just reassign an existed button:

Code: Select all

    StiReport Report = new StiReport();
    using (StiPreviewForm form = new StiPreviewForm(Report))
    {
        StiToolBar tb = form.PreviewControl.get_ToolBar();
        StiToolButton btnSave = tb.Controls["tbSave"] as StiToolButton;
        StiToolButton btnExport = tb.Controls["tbExport"] as StiToolButton;
        StiToolButton btnClose = tb.Controls["tbClose"] as StiToolButton;
        btnExport.Image = btnSave.Image;
        btnClose.Text = "Hide";
        form.ShowDialog();
    }

Thank you.

Hi

You can show the report using StiPreviewForm Class too:

please instead of calling report.Show()

use the following code:

Code: Select all

previewForm.PreviewControl.Report = report
report.Render()
previewForm.ShowDialog()

Thank you.

I tried to use this code:

Code: Select all

            Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm previewForm = new Stimulsoft.Report.Render.StiPreviewForm();
            Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton myButton1 = new Stimulsoft.Controls.StiButton();
            myButton1.Text = "myButton1";
            myButton1.Click += new EventHandler(myButton1_Click);

            myButton1.Dock = DockStyle.Left;

            previewForm.PreviewControl.ToolBar.Controls.Add(myButton1);
            previewForm.Show();

But in the below row i have en error:

previewForm.PreviewControl.ToolBar.Controls.Add(myButton1);


The PreviewControl doesn't exist for previewForm.
I'm using stimulsoft report.net 2012.2.1400

Have you changed something?

Thanks

Hello.

Please, try to replace PreviewControl with ViewerControl.

Thank you.
