StiDesigner Preview Control - Invoke a Search

[DHarvey]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible in the StiDesigner Preview Control to invoke a search like you can in the StiViewer?

A lot of our customers need to be able to search for data on the report when designing and previewing it.

Note I am using Win Forms .Net Version (2013.1.1600.0).

To do this in the Report Viewer you would:

Code: Select all

ReportViewer.InvokeToolFind();

Kind Regards,
David

Hello, David.

Unfortunately, there is no such method for preview in the Designer Control.
If you need this feature, please send a request to support@stimulsoft.com

Thank you.

Glad I helped someone else

After speaking to the Support Team via the email provided I have been able to invoke the Find Tool in the StiDesignerPreviewControl.

This was the example provided:

Code: Select all

StiReport report = new StiReport();
StiDesignerPreviewControl previewControl = new StiDesignerPreviewControl(new StiDesignerControl());
this.Controls.Add(previewControl);
StiViewerControl viewer = previewControl.ViewerControl.Viewer as StiViewerControl;
viewer.Report = report;
viewer.InvokeToolFind();

Thanks for all the help.

Kind Regards,
David
