Report post processing

[tpontow]

Hello Stimulsoft,

is it somehow possible to perform a post processing step after a report is rendered? For example i like to set some text fields of the output of a rendered DataBand (let's say first column in second row ) to bold. In the definition of the DataBand the StiText objects are set to non bold.

In general, is it somehow possible to manipulate the attributes of text components after rendering?

Thanks and kind regards

I found a way and i hope that is the correct way to to that.

I registered the CompiledReport.EndRender event. In the event handler method i loop over all Components of the RenderedPages. They are all StiText components which i can manipulate the way i like to (for example set TextBrush to red ).

Code: Select all

CompiledReport.EndRender += ListReportEndRender;

Code: Select all

 void ListReportEndRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DoPostProcessing();
        }

        private void DoPostProcessing()
        {
            StiComponentsCollection componentsCollection = RenderedPages[0].GetComponents();
            foreach (var component in componentsCollection)
            {
                StiText text = component as StiText;
                if (!ReferenceEquals(text, null))
                {
                    text.TextBrush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.Red);
                }
            }
        }

Is it ok to do it that way?

Kind regards
