Extending Stimulsoft Text control
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2011 4:48 am
Hello there,
I'd like to access indexed properties of my business object (MyObject.Properties["Blabla"]) inside of my report.
As I've found, it is not possible to use user-defined functions (works only on WinForms version).
So basically I have following choices:
1) Write Stimulsoft plugin service to extend built-in functions. No idea whether it works on Silverlight version.
2) Extend Text control to override data extraction logic.
3) Go to Telerik (reinvest a month of evaluation).
So, the only considerable choice leaves the question how to extent Text control and how to replace it with newer one in Stimulsoft Designer.
Everything said before has only Silverlight platform in mind.
Thank you for you help in advance,
Lex
