How to add a custom element to the end user report designer using the XRDesignMdiController toolbox control

created 12 days ago

I am investigating whether the End User Report Designer is suitable for creating custom reports using inputs from the rest of our application. This requires creating custom elements for the report. As such I am creating a control that utilises the XRDesignMdiController toolbox control.

I am trying to follow this guide https://docs.devexpress.com/XtraReports/7546/desktop-reporting/winforms-reporting/end-user-report-designer-for-winforms/api-and-customization/add-custom-control-to-the-end-user-report-designers-toolbox#create-a-project-and-custom-control but it seems to be based off the ReportDesignTool. I am unable to find to the IDesignForm control to subscribe to the DesignMdiController.DesignPanelLoaded event.

I have attached a sample project of what I have done. Is there a way to create custom elements using the XRDesignMdiController toolbox control?

Hello Marc,

You can simply handle the reportDesigner1.DesignPanelLoaded event. I've attached the modified project for your reference.
