ActiveReports Report Application tutorial (13) --- embed a third-party control

ActiveReports controls are perfectly integrated with Visual Studio to provide more flexible and easy-to-use report customization and custom control embedding support. In addition to using ActiveReports built-in controls in reports, you can also add any third party to the report. to meet your needs for more report expansion capabilities. This article shows how to use the C1Gauge for Windows Forms and C1Chart for Windows Forms controls in the ActiveReports regional report.

1. Create a report file

Create an ActiveReports report file named rptControls1.cs in the application, and the ActiveReports regional report (based on code ). Add C1.Win. C1Chart. 2.dll and C1.Win. C1Gauge. 2.dll references to the project.

2. design the report page

Note that in WinForms and ASP. the NET program is slightly different. When developing a WinForms application, switch to the report design interface. All available WinForms platform controls in your current environment are displayed in the Visual Studio toolbox, in this case, we can drag any other third-party controls to the ActiveReports area report design interface. In ASP. when the program is developed, the control of the WinForms platform is not displayed in the Visual Studio toolbox. Therefore, you cannot directly add a third-party control to the report design interface, we need to add the Picture control to the report design interface, and then load the third-party control in the background code.

Switch to the report design page and add the RichTextBox and Picture controls under the ActiveReports 7 regional layout Report category to the report.

Switch to the report background Code view and load the third-party control in the ReportStart event of the report. The Code is as follows:

 

// Add the C1Gauge control private void AddGauge1 () {C1.Win. c1Gauge. c1Gauge c1Gauge1 = new C1.Win. c1Gauge. c1Gauge (); c1Gauge1. load (string. format (@ "{0} \ Data \ C1RadialGauge1. xml ", BasePath); c1Gauge1. backColor = Color. white; c1Gauge1. gauges [0]. value = 80; c1Gauge1. gauges [1]. value = 88; c1Gauge1. gauges [2]. value = 75; picture1.Image = c1Gauge1. getImage (450,300);} // Add the C1Chart control private void AddChart1 () {C1.Win. c1Chart. c1Chart c1Chart = new C1.Win. c1Chart. c1Chart (); c1Chart. loadChartFromFile (string. format (@ "{0} Data \ C1Chart1. chart2dxml ", BasePath); picture2.Image = c1Chart. getImage (new Size (800,370);} private void rptControls1_ReportStart (object sender, EventArgs e) {AddGauge1 (); AddChart1 (); richTextBox1.LoadFile (string. format (@ "{0} Data \ supports third-party controls. rtf ", BasePath ));}

 

 

3. Run the program
