Example

This example shows how to override the SaveFile and OpenFile commands in the End-User Report Designer.

Form1.cs

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;

namespace CustomSavingEUD {
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        // Create an MDI (multi-document interface) controller instance.
        XRDesignMdiController mdiController;

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            // Create a design form and get its MDI controller.
            XRDesignForm form = new XRDesignForm();
            mdiController = form.DesignMdiController;

            // Handle the DesignPanelLoaded event of the MDI controller,
            // to override the SaveCommandHandler for every loaded report.
            mdiController.DesignPanelLoaded +=
                new DesignerLoadedEventHandler(mdiController_DesignPanelLoaded);

            // Override the Open Command.
            mdiController.AddCommandHandler(new OpenCommandHandler());

            // Open an empty report in the form.
            mdiController.OpenReport(new XtraReport1());

            // Show the form.
            form.ShowDialog();
            if (mdiController.ActiveDesignPanel != null) {
                mdiController.ActiveDesignPanel.CloseReport();
            }
        }
        void mdiController_DesignPanelLoaded(object sender, DesignerLoadedEventArgs e) {
            XRDesignPanel panel = (XRDesignPanel)sender;
            // Override the Save Command.
            panel.AddCommandHandler(new SaveCommandHandler(panel));
        }
    }
}

The following code shows the Save and Open command handlers that implement the ICommandHandler interface:

    }

    public void HandleCommand(ReportCommand command,
    object[] args) {
        // Save the report.
        Save();
    }

    public bool CanHandleCommand(ReportCommand command,
    ref bool useNextHandler) {
        useNextHandler = !(command == ReportCommand.SaveFile ||
            command == ReportCommand.SaveFileAs);
        return !useNextHandler;
    }

    void Save() {
        // Write your custom method here.
        // ...

        // Example:
        panel.Report.SaveLayout("report1.repx");

        // Prevent the "Report has been changed" dialog from being shown.
        panel.ReportState = ReportState.Saved;
    }
}

OpenCommandHandler.cs

using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UserDesigner;

public class OpenCommandHandler : ICommandHandler {
    public OpenCommandHandler() {
    }

    public void HandleCommand(ReportCommand command,
    object[] args) {
        switch (command) {
            case ReportCommand.OpenFile:
                Open();
                break;
        }
