public bool FixLayoutErrors { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
<DXCategory("Behavior")>
Public Property FixLayoutErrors As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to resolve report control overlapping; otherwise, false

Remarks

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.XtraReports.UI
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.
        Dim report As New XtraReport()

        ' 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

            ' Define the number of retry attempts for AI operations in case of failure.
            behavior.Properties.RetryAttemptCount = 2
        End Sub)
