Declaration

procedure ShowDesigner;

Remarks

Call ShowDesigner and ShowViewer procedures to display Report Designer and Report Viewer dialogs. Global skin and palette settings defined using the Project Settings dialog or a TdxSkinController component affect both dialogs.

The Report Designer dialog allows users to design and configure the current report template, including placeholder positions, source dataset fields, appearance settings, etc. All saved changes made in this dialog update the Layout property value and raise the OnLayoutChanged event. For example, you can handle this event to save report template changes to a file.
