Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the XRControl.HtmlItemCreated event to customize the content of an XRLabel control, when a report is exported to HTML. In the event handler, create two custom HTML elements, which will display a check box and a hyperlink on a Web page, and add them to the control’s content using the HtmlEventArgs.ContentCell property of the event parameter.

Follow the steps below to create a sample project.

  1. Start Visual Studio and create a new Windows Forms Application or open an existing one.
  2. Add a new report (named XtraReport1) to the application.
  3. Drop an XRLabel control onto a report and handle its HtmlItemCreated event as follows.

    using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.HtmlExport;
    using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.HtmlExport.Controls;
    using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
    // ...
    
    private void xrLabel1_HtmlItemCreated(object sender, HtmlEventArgs e) {
        // Clear content of the currently processed item.
        e.ContentCell.Controls.Clear();
    
        // Create a check box. 
        DXHtmlGenericControl checkBox = new DXHtmlGenericControl(DXHtmlTextWriterTag.Input);
        checkBox1.Attributes["checked"] = "true";
        checkBox1.Attributes["type"] = "CheckBox";
    
        // Create a hyperlink. 
        DXHtmlAnchor hypLink = new DXHtmlAnchor();
        hypLink.InnerText = "XtraReports Web Page";
        hypLink.HRef = "https://www.devexpress.com/Subscriptions/Reporting/";
    
        // Add the created elements to the item's content. 
        e.ContentCell.Controls.Add(checkBox);
        e.ContentCell.Controls.Add(hypLink);
    }
    

Then, to export a report to HTML, you can use code similar to the following.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;
// ...

private void ExportToHTML() {
    XtraReport1 report = new XtraReport1();
    report.ExportToHtml("Test.html");
    StartProcess("Test.html");
}

public void StartProcess(string path) {
    Process process = new Process();
    try {
        process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
        process.Start();
        process.WaitForInputIdle();
    }
    catch { }
}
