XtraReport 10.1 preview from within WindowsFormsHost showing empty report until toolbar reset

created 10 years ago

Hi,

currently extending a old software using Xtrareports v10.1 (<- from filenam; product version 10.1.6.0) where I need to show a report preview dialog from within a WindowsFormsHost Control.

The thing that currently driving me nuts is, that the preview dialog showing "The document does not contain any pages" until I click "View"->"Customize"->"Toolbars"->"Reset". It then shows the correct content.

Any hints what I am doing wrong?
Opening a preview directly from winform windows/controls works perfectly fine in the old one.

Attached is an example project (vs2013) containing a wpf application with a WindowsFormsHost in a WPF window. The host contains a winform control that shows a simple preview wich reproduces the behaviour perfectly on our machines.

Regards,
Bernd Boruttau

Hi Bernd,
Thank you for the provided project. The issue you've encountered is not specific to version 10.1, but rather to interoperability issues between WPF and WinForms components. Please review Andrew's answer from the XtraReport shows no data ticket to see why exactly this situation occurs and what workaround can be used to resolve this problem.
I'm looking forward to your results.

      Hi,
      "report.CreateDocument(false);" between new Report() and ShowPreview() fixed the problem.
      Thanks a lot.
