EditTool in StiViewer

[pi2342]

Hi,

I'm using Stimulsoft Trial Version 1.8 with wpf/c#.

Unfortunately there is a problem using the EditTool when embedded in my window.

I embedded a StiViewer in my xaml like:

Code: Select all

<wpfViewer:StiWpfViewerControl Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Name="StiViewer1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>

and load a simple report into it by:

Code: Select all

		StiReport stiReport1 = new StiReport();
		stiReport1.Load("..\\..\\Reporting\\edittext.mrt"); // a report with a single textbox (editable set to 'True')
		this.StiViewer1.Report = stiReport1;        
            stiReport1.Render(); 

as far as good, the report is shown in the viewer.

But the EditTool Button is inactive and even if I set it manually to

Code: Select all

this.StiViewer1.IsToolEditorEnabled = true;

and click it, the edit mode cannot be entered.

If I call

Code: Select all

stiReport1.Show();

instead of 'Render()' a new dialog window is shown with active EditTool-button and the text field can be edited as expected.

Do you have any advise or solution for us. It is an essential feature we do not want to miss, if we buy your product.

Hi Pi,

Thank you for the explanation of the problem in detail.

Normally the editor tool is activated automatically when there are editable fields in the report's preview window, as in the following sample:

Please check the following topic for a workaround that should work for you:

If you still have any issues with the editor tool, please feel free to send the sample mrt file or your test project to support[at]stimulsoft.com, we will try to help you to solve the issue or to confirm the bug if there is any.

Thank you,
Edward

Hi Edward,

I found

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Viewer.Windows.ShowEditorTool = true;

in the link and that did the trick. Everything else described wasn't necessary.

Thank you so much
Pi
