I again have a little problem.
I have used ReportViewer in my Windows Form Application in visual studio 2010. The width of my report id about 7 inches. When i view the report in print layout, the report is cut across the page,i.e, only half of the content is on the page and rest is out of right margin and page boundary. I then have to click page setup in the report viewer top menu to change page setup, i just reduce left and right margins to 0.25 from 1 each.
I don't want to do it every time I view and print a report. Is there a way to change these setting programmatically in C# or change the default page layout?
you can use below code:
System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings pg=new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings();
pg.Margins.Top = 0;
pg.Margins.Bottom = 0;
pg.Margins.Left = 0;
pg.Margins.Right = 0;
System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize size = new PaperSize();
size.RawKind = (int)PaperKind.A5;
pg.PaperSize = size;
reportViewer1.SetPageSettings(pg);
this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
Use pg.LandScape = true along with you existing,
pg.Margins.Top = 0;
pg.Margins.Bottom = 0;
pg.Margins.Left = 0;
pg.Margins.Right = 0;
pg.LandScape = true
ReportViewer rpt = new ReportViewer();
rpt.SetPageSettings(new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings() { Landscape = true });

I'm building an app with RAD Studio 11, but I can't find a way to change the item font of my TListBox.
I tried to change TListBox.Font in the Object Inspector, but when I select my TListBox called ingredientsDataBase in the Object Inspector, I can just change TListBox settings instead of TListBox.Items settings.
I add a TListBoxItem manually as follow:
Then, I can change ListBoxItem1.Font in the Object Inspector, after selecting my ListBoxItem1 (no problem).
The problem is that, when I run my program, the Font change only affects my ListBoxItem1, and I want the same Font for every item that I add to my TListBox.
UPDATE 1
After your help I tried to convert your Delphi code to C++.
__fastcall TIngredientCreator::addButtonClick(TObject *Sender){
//More code Here
//Then I ADD a new ListBoxItem to my ListBox "ingredientsDataBase"
ingredientsDataBase->Items->Add("newIngredient");
TListBoxItem *lbItem = new TListBoxItem(ingredientsDataBase);
lbItem->Parent = ingredientsDataBase;
// Remove Family and Size from the items TStyledSettings
lbItem->StyledSettings = lbItem->StyledSettings << TStyledSetting::Family << TStyledSetting::Size;
// You can now set these TextSettings as needed
lbItem->TextSettings->Font->Family = "Algerian";
lbItem->TextSettings->Font->Size = 18;
lbItem->Text = "algerian";
delete lbItem;
}
There is no syntax error, but I can't associate my new ListBoxItem, in this case the Text or Name of that new ListBoxItem called "newIngredient" (I don't know how to do it in this code), so when I run my program nothing happen to mi new Item at least.
UPDATE 2
I found a way to associate my newIngredient to TListBoxItem Object as follow:
int index = ingredientsDataBase->Items->IndexOf(newIngredient);
lbItem = ingredientsDataBase->ItemByIndex(index);
When I run the code and I add a new Ingredient, just the Text of the newIngredient is changed to "algerian", because in the first code I have this line lbItem->Text = "algerian" all good here. But Font and Size still without change.
Thanks for your answers
When you add items to the listbox, you need to clear some items from the default StyledSettings property of the new item, if you want to modify the corresponding TextSettings.
Here's an example in Delphi to do what you want:
procedure TForm5.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
lbItem: TListBoxItem;
begin
lbItem := TListBoxItem.Create(ListBox1);
lbItem.Parent := ListBox1;
// Remove Family and Size from the items TStyledSettings
lbItem.StyledSettings := lbItem.StyledSettings - [TStyledSetting.Family,TStyledSetting.Size];
// You can now set these TextSettings as needed
lbItem.TextSettings.Font.Family := 'Algerian';
lbItem.TextSettings.Font.Size := 18;
lbItem.Text := 'algerian';
// In Embarcadero C++Builder you use the ">>" operator to remove members from a set, and "<<" to include them.
end;
After your help my code in a Multi-Device Application C++ Builder project result on the next code:
__fastcall TIngredientCreator::addButtonClick(TObject *Sender){
//More code Here
//Then I ADD a new ListBoxItem to my ListBox "ingredientsDataBase"
ingredientsDataBase->Items->Add("newIngredient");
int index = ingredientsDataBase->Items->IndexOf(newIngredient);
lbItem = ingredientsDataBase->ItemByIndex(index);
// Remove Family and Size from the items TStyledSettings
lbItem->StyledSettings = lbItem->StyledSettings >> TStyledSetting::Family >> TStyledSetting::Size;
// You can now set these TextSettings as needed
lbItem->TextSettings->Font->Family = "Consolas";
lbItem->TextSettings->Font->Size = 18;
delete lbItem;
}
If you are trying to do it in a Windows VCL Aplication C++ Builder Project is easier (You can change the font of the entire TListBox once):
ingredientsDataBase->Font->Size = 8.5;
ingredientsDataBase->Font->Name = "Consolas";
The company I'm with is likely to obtain an ActiveReports 7 license. There's a new project requirement that several webgrids (not actually webgrids, but more like html rendered with zurb) need to be converted into pdfs. At one point in the code behind they're effectively datasets or can be created into such. Is there a way to shuttle the data from the datasets into active reports, then render it out as a PDF. I'd like to keep the report as generic as possible, and thus have one active report for all the datatables, so doing using active reports as its usually done is kind of out of the question.
The only thing I can think of at the moment is a single textbox in the group header into which I could concatenate all the headers, and a single textbox in the details into which I could throw all the data for each row. The problem here is that I'd run into many formatting issues as nothing would line up properly - as tab delimiting would solve nothing here. I could have multiple textboxes with various spacing, but then it would eventually devolve into a different report for each dataset. Is it possible to apply some sort of markup so that I could keep the spacing of columns as I feed the data in. Do active reports richtextboxes honor html markup? Or is there another solution altogether?
I'd use Itextsharp, but its not free for commercial products.
Thanks,

You can dynamically build a report that will output a simple table based on a specified DataSet, well actually a System.Data.DataTable. Basically for each column in the DataTable, add a textbox to the header to hold the name of the column and add another textbox to the Detail section to hold the value.
For the textbox in the detail section set its DataField property to the name of the column. With the binding in place, you can set the report's DataSource property to the DataTable and then run the report and export it to PDF.
The following code is a basic example:
var left = 0f;
var width = 1f;
var height = .25f;
var space = .25f;
var rpt = new SectionReport();
rpt.Sections.Add(SectionType.ReportHeader, "rh").Height = height;
rpt.Sections.Add(SectionType.Detail, "detail").Height = height;
rpt.Sections.Add(SectionType.ReportFooter, "rf").Height = height;
foreach (System.Data.DataColumn col in dataTable.Columns)
{
var txt = new TextBox { Location = new PointF(left, 0), Size = new SizeF(width, height) };
txt.Text = col.ColumnName;
rpt.Sections["rh"].Controls.Add(txt);
txt = new TextBox { Location = new PointF(left, 0), Size = new SizeF(width, height) };
txt.DataField = col.ColumnName;
rpt.Sections["detail"].Controls.Add(txt);
left += width + space;
}
rpt.DataSource = dataTable;
rpt.Run();
var pdf = new PdfExport();
pdf.Export(rpt.Document, #"c:\Users\scott\downloads\test.pdf");
I am inserting an image in the crystal report by dragging a field of type picture from the database fields. The image is inserted as a blob field with a default (original) size even though in the database the image can have different sizes. The problem is that the image does not preserve its original size. Is there a way how specify the original size of the image in crystal reports?
Crystal report will not auto- re-size the image. So better to set the original size in Crystal report
try this code in c#:
CRAXDRT.Report report1 = new CRAXDRT.Report();
CRAXDRT.Application app = new CRAXDRT.Application();
report1 = app.OpenReport("YorReport.rpt", OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByDefault);
for (int i = 1; i < report1.Sections.Count + 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j < report1.Sections[i].ReportObjects.Count + 1; j++)
{
try
{
CRAXDRT.BlobFieldObject t1 = (CRAXDRT.BlobFieldObject)report1.Sections[i].ReportObjects[j];
if (t1.Name == "YourBlobFieldName")
{
t1.Height = 200;
t1.Width = 200;
}
}
catch (Exception) { }
}
}
Check the Can Grow checkbox for the BLOB field.
That will auto size the field by image's original size.
I have an excel 2007 Add-in built with VS2010 VSTO library.
when i create a new object of the add-in, i also create an excel left task pane, using the following code:
Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane taskPaneAddIn;
MyAddIn addIn;
addIn = new MyAddIn(this.Application);
taskPaneAddIn = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(addIn, "My AddIn");
taskPaneAddIn.DockPosition = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionLeft;
taskPaneAddIn.Width = addIn.Size.Width + 5;
The addIn is a windows user control which has its own dimensions.
The code above seems not to work as the taskPaneAddIn width is always fixed on the excel. the user always has to manually expand the task pane to see the entire width of the control.
Is there any programmable way to set the task pane width?
I think the source of your problem is that when you add the control to the CustomTaskPanes, its Width gets set to zero (I think it has to do with the fact that the control gets docked). To address your problem, you can do the following, and retrieve the width of your control before it is added:
var control = new TaskPaneControl();
var width = control.Width;
var taskPane = CustomTaskPanes.Add(control, "Wide");
taskPane.Width = width;
taskPane.Visible = true;
I have a Visual Studio application with a splash screen image cut into "slices". The positions are specified in the Form Designer so they line up properly on the screen. However, the images are out of place when the application is run on the Chinese version of Windows XP. It looks as if the image slices were "exploded" apart.
What's going on here? Do international versions of Windows have a different meaning of the "top left" coordinate of the picture? How can I force the images to be precisely displayed where I want them?
We found a solution! Apparently the picture boxes stretched out on the Chinese XP PC, but the images they contained did not. The fix was to add code like the following:
Me.PictureBoxIcon.Width = Me.PictureBoxIcon.Image.Width
Me.PictureBoxIcon.Height = Me.PictureBoxIcon.Image.Height
Dim loc As New Point
loc.X = Me.PictureBoxIcon.Location.X
loc.Y = Me.PictureBoxIcon.Location.Y + Me.PictureBoxIcon.Height
Me.PictureBoxAbout.Location = loc
Me.PictureBoxAbout.Width = Me.PictureBoxAbout.Image.Width
Me.PictureBoxAbout.Height = Me.PictureBoxAbout.Image.Height
Hope this helps someone else!
In the OnLoad event of the form, you could always explicitly set the location of each section. If starting at the top left with the first and assuming an array with the images in order:
images[0].Location = new Point(0,0);
for (int i = 1; i < images.Length; i++)
{
images[i].Location = new Point(images[i - 1].Location.X + images[i - 1].Width, 0);
}
That will set the first image to the top left corner and all subsequent images to just after the last image.
