Report designer for end user

[hugo]

I would like to provide the designer for final use embedded on my application but I'm facing a lot of problems:

• How to hide the main menu (not the subitems) on the upper left corner ?
• How to hide the help menu on the upper right corner ?
• How to catch the save button event. My purpose is to grab the changed report definition and deal my self with the persistence location automatically ?
• How to add an exit button (outside of the main menu) ?

Sorry for so much questions in a single thread but these are all related with the same purpose.


Thanks,
Hugo.

Hello Hugo,

1. Unfortunately, it's impossible to hide Main Menu easily. You could do it in our source code only.

2. You can use the following option:

Code: Select all

StiOptions.appearance.showFormsHelp = false;

3. You can use the following event:

Code: Select all

designer.addEventListener(StiDesignerEvent.SAVE_REPORT, onSaveReport);

4. To close designer, you can call the following method in the button click event:

Code: Select all

designer.close();

Thank you.

Thank you.

OK, about the first question, I found a workaround (monkey patch) in 2 lines of code. It's better for future upgrade then custom code version.

Hello,

Thank you for the information.
Can you please describe your workaround in more details.

Thank you.

Code: Select all

			designer = report.designer as StiDesignerFx;
			designer.getChildAt(2).visible = false; //hide the standard main menu
