Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hallo Support,

I have written code which takes a dataset and generates a dynamic report (i.e. everything is done in code and not in the designer). I'd now like to add a table of contents to the beginning of the report. I've read the documentation and am now confused.

I see I have to add a unique bookmark to everything I want to have in my TOC. Is this correct or do I have to add a hyperlink instead? What about the tag property, do I need this?

So, everywhere in my report where I'd like to be able to link to from the TOC I add some property to that particular component.

Now what about the first page where I'd like to display the TOC - what do I have to put here to define the TOC? Do I need a particular band which will then be the container for the TOC? How do I then loop through and display each items I'd like in my TOC?

Many thanks,

John Kitching

Hello ,

I am new to stimulsoft and i want to know how to generate the table of contents for multipage report. My report contains 3 pages. First page is for table of contents and other 2 pages contains chapters, this chapters name with page number need to be displayed in the table of contents. One more thing is 2nd and 3rd page should have continuous page number. For example if page 1 ends on page 114, then next page continue on to start on page 115.My question is how to get this continuous page number in TOC. I have tried GetAnchorPageNumber, but it will not dispaly the continuous page number. Kindly do the needful help ASAP.

Thanks in advance.
