    ReportDesignTool designTool = new ReportDesignTool(new XtraReport1());

    // Access the standard or ribbon-based Designer form.
    // IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignForm;
    IDesignForm designForm = designTool.DesignRibbonForm;

    //disable saving of the designer panels configuration
    (designForm as XRDesignForm).SaveState = false;
    // Hide the Field List and Properties window dock panels.
    designForm.SetWindowVisibility(DesignDockPanelType.FieldList |
        DesignDockPanelType.PropertyGrid, false);

    // Load a Report Designer in a dialog window.
    // designTool.ShowDesignerDialog();
    designTool.ShowRibbonDesignerDialog();
}
