Remarks
The Open Report dialog appears in the Web Report Designer when opening a report (when the user clicks the Open menu command).
To customize the Open dialog, handle the CustomizeOpenDialog event and call the e.Customize method.
Note
The complete sample project How to Customize the Save As and Open Dialogs in the Web End-User Report Designer is available in the DevExpress Examples repository.
Report files in this example are arranged in folders in the root Reports folder. Folder names correspond to the report’s Category. The customized dialog displays report names and categories.
The Open dialog is defined in a HTML template.
The dialog model defines the properties used in the dialog template and binds them to Knockout observables. The model specifies the following functions:
- to set the current report URL
- to get the current report URL
- to update the model’s properties when the dialog is displayed. The updateCategories JavaScript function is used.
The updateCategories function calls the client-side DevExpress.Reporting.Designer.ReportStorageWeb.getUrls method to obtain report names and categories. This method uses the ReportStorageWebExtension.GetUrls method of a server-side report storage to get a dictionary that contains report names and categories. The code processes the dictionary and fills the categories data array.
The model defines the dialog buttons and their actions. The Open button’s action calls the e.Popup.open method and the Cancel button’s action calls the e.Popup.cancel method.
The dialog HTML template and dialog model are passed to the e.Customize(template, model) method to modify the Report Designer’s Open dialog. This method is available in the CustomizeOpenDialog event handler.
The customizeOpenDialog function is the CustomizeOpenDialog event handler. The function uses the ASPxClientReportDesignerCustomizeOpenDialogEventArgs.Popup property to specify the dialog’s width, height, and title. The function defines variables used in the dialog model and defines the dialog model. Finally, the function calls the e.Customize method to modify the dialog based on the specified model and template.
