Hello.

I'm using a class to show and edit reports. I'm trying to add a custom button to the preview toolbar, but it won't work.

Here is the code i use.

Code: Select all

//first i create the report object
StiReport rReport = new StiReport();

//then i do some loading stuff.....

//code for adding custom button
StiPreviewForm frmPrev = new StiPreviewForm(rReport);
Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.ButtonItem btnEdit = new Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.ButtonItem();
btnEdit.Text = "TestButton";
btnEdit.Click += new EventHandler(btnEdit_Click);
btnEdit.Visible = true;
frmPrev.ViewerControl.ToolBar.Items.Add(btnEdit);

//show the report
rReport.Show();

The button simply won't show up. Is there any other way to do it?

Thanks

Hi,

Please modify the code a little bit:

Code: Select all

//create the report object
StiReport rReport = new StiReport();
rReport.Load("myReport.mrt");

//code for adding custom button
StiPreviewForm frmPrev = new StiPreviewForm(rReport);
Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.ButtonItem btnEdit = new Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.ButtonItem();
btnEdit.Text = "TestButton";
btnEdit.Click += new EventHandler(btnEdit_Click);
btnEdit.Visible = true;
frmPrev.ViewerControl.ToolBar.Items.Add(btnEdit);            
rReport.Render();
//show the custom created form with a previewControl in it
frmPrev.Show();

Thank you.
