This walkthrough is split up into the following activities:

• Adding code for the Print Preview menu item
• Adding code for the Load Layout menu item
• Adding code for the Save Layout menu item
• Adding code for the Page Setup menu item
• Adding code for the Exit menu item

Adding code for the Print Preview menu item

To write the code in Visual Basic

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Print Preview. This creates an event-handling method for mnuPrintPreview's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuPrintPreview_Click event.

To write the code in C#

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Print Preview. This creates an event-handling method for mnuPrintPreview's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuPrintPreview_Click event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
 Private Sub mnuPrintPreview_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _
 	System.EventArgs) Handles mnuPrintPreview.Click
        Dim rpt As New DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport()
        Dim m_stream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
        Me.Designer1.Report.SaveLayout(m_stream)
        m_stream.Position = 0
        rpt.LoadLayout(m_stream)
        m_stream.Close()
        Dim frm As New frmViewer()
        frm.SetReport(rpt)
        frm.ShowDialog(Me)
End Sub

//C#
private void mnuPrintPreview_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport rpt = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports
		.ActiveReport();
	System.IO.MemoryStream m_stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
	this.designer1.Report.SaveLayout(m_stream);
	m_stream.Position = 0;
	rpt.LoadLayout(m_stream);
	m_stream.Close();
	frmViewer frm = new frmViewer();
	frm.SetReport(rpt);
	frm.ShowDialog(this);
}

Adding code for the Load Layout menu item

To write the code in Visual Basic

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Load Layout. This creates an event-handling method for mnuLoadLayout's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuLoadLayout_Click event.

To write the code in C#

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Load Layout. This creates an event-handling method for mnuLoadLayout's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuLoadLayout_Click event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
Private Sub mnuLoadLayout_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
	Handles mnuLoadLayout.Click
        Me.Designer1.ExecuteAction(DesignerAction.FileOpen)
End Sub

//C#
private void mnuLoadLayout_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.designer1.ExecuteAction(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Design.DesignerAction
		.FileOpen);
}

Adding code for the Save Layout menu item

To write the code in Visual Basic

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Save Layout. This creates an event-handling method for mnuSaveLayout's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuSaveLayout_Click event.

To write the code in C#

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Save Layout. This creates an event-handling method for mnuSaveLayout's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuSaveLayout_Click event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
Private Sub mnuSaveLayout_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
	Handles mnuSaveLayout.Click
        Me.Designer1.ExecuteAction(DesignerAction.FileSave)
End Sub

//C#
private void mnuSaveLayout_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.designer1.ExecuteAction(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Design.DesignerAction
		.FileSave);
}

Adding code for the Page Setup menu item

To write the code in Visual Basic

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Page Setup. This creates an event-handling method for mnuPageSetup's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuPageSetup_Click event.

To write the code in C#

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Page Setup. This creates an event-handling method for mnuPageSetup's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuPageSetup_Click event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
Private Sub mnuPageSetup_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
	Handles mnuPageSetup.Click
        Me.Designer1.ExecuteAction(DesignerAction.ReportSettings)
End Sub

//C#
private void mnuPageSetup_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.designer1.ExecuteAction(DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Design.DesignerAction
		.ReportSettings);
}

Adding code for the Exit menu item

To write the code in Visual Basic

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Exit. This creates an event-handling method for mnuExit's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuExit_Click event.

To write the code in C#

• On the Main Menu, double-click the entry for Exit. This creates an event-handling method for mnuExit's Click event. Add the following code to the mnuExit_Click event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
Private Sub mnuExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
	Handles mnuExit.Click
        Me.Close()
End Sub

//C#
private void mnuExit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	this.Close();
}
