Note: To run this sample, you must have access to the Reels.mdb. A copy is located at [User Documents folder]\ComponentOne Samples\ActiveReports Developer 7\Data. If you are unable to access the data files in the sample, create the Data folder and place all the data files to this folder, or change the reference path to the data files within the folder according to your environment. |
This is the main form of the sample that contains the Designer, ReportExplorer, PropertyGrid, Toolbox and ToolStrip controls, used to create the ActiveReports Designer at runtime. See Creating a Basic End User Report Designer (Pro Edition) for information on creating a basic ActiveReports Designer.
Right-click the form and select View Code to see how to set up the Designer and attach the ReportExplorer, PropertyGrid and Toolbox controls to it. It also contains code that loads a layout created in the LayoutBuilder class to a page report object; then loads the page report object to a stream, which is loaded to the Designer.
