Remove Dock Panels from the End-User Report Designer
- 2 minutes to read
The DesignDockPanelType enumeration lists the End-User Report Designer’s default dock panels.
This example illustrates how to remove dock panels from the Report Designer using the IDesignForm.SetWindowVisibility method.
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;
// ...
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
// Create a Design Tool with an assigned report instance.
ReportDesignTool designTool = new ReportDesignTool(new XtraReport1());
// Access the standard or ribbon-based Designer form.
// IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignForm;
IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignRibbonForm;
//disable saving of the designer panels configuration
(designForm as XRDesignForm).SaveState = false;
// Hide the Field List and Properties window dock panels.
designForm.SetWindowVisibility(DesignDockPanelType.FieldList |
DesignDockPanelType.PropertyGrid, false);
// Load a Report Designer in a dialog window.
// designTool.ShowDesignerDialog();
designTool.ShowRibbonDesignerDialog();
}
These panels are removed from the Report Designer’s toolbar, making it impossible for end-users to access them and change their visibility:
