statusbar preview in designer

Hello
In your windows forms designer, in the preview you have a statusbar where you are showing pages, check for issues, refresh and zoom factors. How can I get the same bar. I only am able to show the pagination (StiDesignerControl1.DesignerPreviewControl.ViewerControl.ShowStatusBar = True) and/or the statusbar (StiDesignerControl1.ShowRibbonStatusBar = True), but not the combined one.
Thanks
Paul

In the statusbar of your winforms editor you have a statusbar. I would like to have that statusbar integrated in my application using the (winforms) stidesignercontrol. How can I get that. Please look at the picture (pages/issues/refres/zoom factor).
Thank you
Paul

Hello,
You can use the following code for the StiDesignerControl:
designer.ShowToolbarStatusBar = false;
designer.ShowRibbonStatusBar = true;
Thank you.

Hello,
If I use:
designer.ShowToolbarStatusBar = false;
designer.ShowRibbonStatusBar = true;
I will not get the page navigation, and refresh button as you can see in the picture below

Ok, I have found a workaround:
Code: Select all
Private Sub StiDesignerControl1_RebuildDesigner(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles StiDesignerControl1.RebuildDesigner
StiDesignerControl1.DesignerPreviewControl.ViewerControl.ShowStatusBar = True
If DirectCast(StiDesignerControl1.Controls("bar1"), Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.Bar).Items.Contains("sbpReportChecker") Then
DirectCast(StiDesignerControl1.DesignerPreviewControl.ViewerControl.Controls("StiViewerControl").Controls("panelView").Controls("tbStatusbar"), Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.Bar).Items.Add(
DirectCast(StiDesignerControl1.Controls("bar1"), Stimulsoft.Controls.Win.DotNetBar.Bar).Items("sbpReportChecker"), 1)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub StiDesignerControl1_RefreshDictionary(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles StiDesignerControl1.RefreshDictionary
If StiDesignerControl1.DesignerPreviewControl.Visible Then
StiDesignerControl1.DesignerPreviewControl.DoRefresh()
End If
End Sub
It will place the reportchecker in the statusbar of the viewer. It is probably not the cleanest way, but it works.
However, I cannot find the refresh button in the document object model of the designer. For now I fixed it by automatically refresh the report if the dictionary is changed.
Thanks
Paul
