Remove Report Types from the Report Wizard

• Aug 01, 2025

The Report Wizard customization enables you to remove specific report types, preventing users from selecting them when creating a new report. The following examples hide the “CrossTab” report type from the Report Wizard in two different ways:

1. Register ReportWizardSettings with customized report types using AddService:

   C#

   using DevExpress.XtraReports.Wizards;
   // ...
   ReportWizardSettings settings = new ReportWizardSettings();
   settings.ReportTypes.Remove(ReportType.CrossTab);
   reportDesigner1.AddService(typeof(ReportWizardSettings), settings);
   

   VB.NET

   Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Wizards
   ' ...
   Private settings As New ReportWizardSettings()
   settings.ReportTypes.Remove(ReportType.CrossTab)
   reportDesigner1.AddService(GetType(ReportWizardSettings), settings)
   

2. Implement IWizardCustomizationService and write the logic to customize report types in the IWizardCustomizationService.CustomizeReportWizard method body:

   C#

   using DevExpress.XtraReports.Wizards;
   // ...    
   reportDesigner1.AddService(typeof(IWizardCustomizationService), new WizardCustomization());
   class WizardCustomization : IWizardCustomizationService {
       public void CustomizeReportWizard(IWizardCustomization<XtraReportModel> tool) {
           ReportWizardSettings settings = tool.Resolve<ReportWizardSettings>();
           settings.ReportTypes.Remove(ReportType.CrossTab);
       }
   // ...    
   

   VB.NET

   Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.Wizards
   '...
   reportDesigner1.AddService(GetType(IWizardCustomizationService), New WizardCustomization())
   Friend Class WizardCustomization
       Implements IWizardCustomizationService
       Public Sub CustomizeReportWizard(ByVal tool As IWizardCustomization(Of XtraReportModel))
           Dim settings As ReportWizardSettings = tool.Resolve(Of ReportWizardSettings)()
           settings.ReportTypes.Remove(ReportType.CrossTab)
       End Sub
   ' ...
