Delphi

uses
  dxReport.Control;  // Declares the TdxReportControl class
//...

procedure TMyForm.dxReportControl1DesignerFormShow(ASender: TObject; AForm: TForm);
begin
  AForm.Caption := 'My Report Designer';  // Changes the Report Designer form caption
  AForm.WindowState := wsNormal;             // Switches from maximized to the normal form state
  AForm.Position := poScreenCenter;          // Centers the dialog on the screen
  AForm.Width := 1200;                       // Specifies the dialog width
  AForm.Height := 800;                       // Specifies the dialog height
end;

// Add the following linker directive to the corresponding CPP source file:
#pragma link "dxReport.Control"  // Required to use dxReport.Control.hpp declarations
// ...

void __fastcall TMyForm::dxReportControl1DesignerFormShow(TObject *ASender, TForm *AForm)
{
  AForm->Caption = "My Report Designer";  // Changes the Report Designer form caption
  AForm->WindowState = wsNormal;             // Switches from maximized to the normal form state
  AForm->Position = poScreenCenter;          // Centers the dialog on the screen
  AForm->Width = 1200;                       // Specifies the dialog width
  AForm->Height = 800;                       // Specifies the dialog height
}
