Gets behavior settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting

Declaration

C#

public ReportModifyBehaviorProperties Properties { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property Properties As ReportModifyBehaviorProperties

Property Value

Type	Description
ReportModifyBehaviorProperties	Behavior settings.

Remarks

Use ReportPromptToReportBehavior.Properties to access the behavior settings. The following settings are available:

ReportModifyBehaviorProperties.FixLayoutErrors

Specifies whether the designer attempts to fix the report layout when report controls overlap.

ReportModifyBehaviorProperties.RetryAttemptCount

Specifies the maximum number of attempts to fix report layout errors in the LLM response. The default value is 3.

ReportModifyBehaviorProperties.Temperature

Specifies the balance between creativity and consistency in AI responses.

Use the following code to register a ReportModifyBehavior and attach it to the reportDesigner1 UI component created at design time from the Toolbox:

C#

using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting;

public partial class Form1 : Form {
    public Form1() {
        InitializeComponent();
        behaviorManager1.Attach<ReportModifyBehavior>(reportDesigner1, behavior => {
           behavior.Properties.FixLayoutErrors = true;
           behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.5f;
           behavior.Properties.RetryAttemptCount = 2;
        });
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting

Public Partial Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        behaviorManager1.Attach(Of ReportModifyBehavior)(reportDesigner1, Sub(behavior)
            behavior.Properties.FixLayoutErrors = True
            behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.5F
            behavior.Properties.RetryAttemptCount = 2
        End Sub)
    End Sub
End Class

The following code registers a ReportModifyBehavior and attaches it to the WinForms Report Designer control (XRDesignMdiController):

C#

using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting;

public partial class Form1 : Form {
    public Form1() {
        InitializeComponent();
        // Create a new blank report instance or use your report.
        XtraReport report = new XtraReport();

        // Create a ReportDesignTool to configure and display the report in the Report Designer.
        ReportDesignTool designTool = new ReportDesignTool(report);

        // Attach AI-powered behavior to the Report Designer's MDI controller.
        behaviorManager1.Attach<ReportModifyBehavior>(designTool.DesignRibbonForm.DesignMdiController, behavior => {
            // Enable automatic layout error correction in the report.
            behavior.Properties.FixLayoutErrors = true;

            // Set the creativity level of AI suggestions (range: 0 = deterministic, 1 = creative).
            behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.5f;

            // Define the number of retry attempts for AI operations in case of failure.
            behavior.Properties.RetryAttemptCount = 2;
        });

        // Display the Report Designer with a ribbon UI.
        designTool.ShowRibbonDesigner();
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting

Public Partial Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        ' Create a new blank report instance or use your report.

        ' Create a ReportDesignTool to configure and display the report in the Report Designer.
        Dim designTool As New ReportDesignTool(report)

        ' Attach AI-powered behavior to the Report Designer's MDI controller.
        behaviorManager1.Attach(Of ReportModifyBehavior)(designTool.DesignRibbonForm.DesignMdiController, Sub(behavior)
            ' Enable automatic layout error correction in the report.
            behavior.Properties.FixLayoutErrors = True

            ' Set the creativity level of AI suggestions (range: 0 = deterministic, 1 = creative).
            behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.5F
