Running a report
To run a report, use one of the following methods of the Report object:
Method | Description |
---|---|
void Show() |
Runs a report and shows it in the preview window. This method is equal to: if (Prepare()) ShowPrepared(); |
bool Prepare() |
Runs a report. If the report was prepared successfully, returns true . After this method, you need to call one of the following methods: ShowPrepared , PrintPrepared , SavePrepared , Export :if (Prepare()) ShowPrepared(); |
bool Prepare(bool append) |
Runs a report. If the append parameter is set to true , the prepared report will be added to the existing one. So you can build several reports and display them in the preview as one report: report1.Load("report1.frx"); report1.Prepare(); report1.Load("report2.frx"); report1.Prepare(true); report.ShowPrepared(); |
void ShowPrepared() |
Shows a prepared report in the preview window. The report must be either prepared using the Prepare method, or loaded from the .FPX file using the LoadPrepared method:if (Prepare()) ShowPrepared(); |
void ShowPrepared(bool modal) |
Shows a prepared report in the preview window. The modal parameter determines whether the preview should be shown modally. |
void ShowPrepared(bool modal, Form owner) |
The same as the previous method. The owner parameter determines a window that owns the preview window. |
void ShowPrepared(Form mdiParent) |
The same as the previous method. The mdiParent parameter determines the main MDI window. |
