Hello,

As a way, you can describe on the SaveReport event in designer in your code:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.Engine.GlobalEvents.SavingReportInDesigner += new StiSavingObjectEventHandler(GlobalEvents_SavingReportInDesigner);

Thank you.

is there also a way to do this on MVC?

Hello,

Please try to set the following options:

Code: Select all

...
SaveReportTemplateMode = StiMvcDesignerOptions.SaveMode.Visible,
SaveReportTemplateAsMode = StiMvcDesignerOptions.SaveMode.Visible,
...

or

Code: Select all

...
SaveReportTemplateMode = StiMvcDesignerOptions.SaveMode.NewWindow,
SaveReportTemplateAsMode = StiMvcDesignerOptions.SaveMode.NewWindow,
...

In this case, report saving is carried out not in AJAX mode, and you can display your save report dialog.

Thank you.

Hello,

This string is a report that is sent by the designer on the server side. You need to return the desired view in the save report action, for example:

Code: Select all

public ActionResult SaveReportTemplate()
{
    StiReport report = StiMvcDesignerHelper.GetReportObject(this.Request);

    return View("SaveDialog");
}

This view should contain the necessary controls, for example the report name input field and submit button.

Thank you.
