Remarks

The CustomWizardData class is used to pass custom data from the Report Wizard page to the ReportWizardCustomizationService methods.

The following JavaScript code stores data that the user entered on the custom page. The data is placed in the session.

function beforeInitializeWizard(args) {
    class LabelPage extends DevExpress.Analytics.Wizard.WizardPageBase {
        canNext() {
            return false;
        }

        canFinish() {
            return true;
        }

        commit() {
            return $.Deferred().resolve({
                Label1: this.label1Value(),
                Label2: this.label2Value(),
                Label3: this.label3Value(),
                ReportName: this.label4Value(),
            }).promise();
        }

        label1Value = ko.observable('Label1');
        label2Value = ko.observable('Label2');
        label3Value = ko.observable('Label3');
        label4Value = ko.observable('SomeReportName');
    }
    args.wizard.pageFactory.registerMetadata('CustomLabelPage', {
        create: () => new LabelPage(),
        getState: (state) => state,
        setState: (data, state) => {
            state.customData = JSON.stringify(data);
        },
        resetState: (state, defaultState) => {
            state.customData = undefined;
        },
        template: 'wizard-labels-page',
        navigationPanelText: 'Specify label values'
    });
}

function afterInit(args) {
    const defaultGetNextPageId = args.wizard.iterator.getNextPageId;
    args.wizard.iterator.getNextPageId = function (pageId) {
        if(pageId === 'selectReportTypePage' && args.wizard.iterator._getCurrentState().reportTemplateID === 'CustomLabelReport') {
            return 'CustomLabelPage';
        } else {
            return defaultGetNextPageId.apply(this, [pageId]);
        }
    };
}

function CustomizeReportWizard(s, e) {
    if(e.Type === 'ReportWizard') {
        DevExpress.Analytics.Widgets.Internal.addToBindingsCache('dxTextBox: { value: label4Value }', function($context, $element) { return { 'dxTextBox': function() { return { 'value': $context.$data.label4Value } } } });
        DevExpress.Analytics.Widgets.Internal.addToBindingsCache('dxTextBox: { value: label1Value }', function($context, $element) { return { 'dxTextBox': function() { return { 'value': $context.$data.label1Value } } } });
        DevExpress.Analytics.Widgets.Internal.addToBindingsCache('dxTextBox: { value: label2Value }', function($context, $element) { return { 'dxTextBox': function() { return { 'value': $context.$data.label2Value } } } });
        DevExpress.Analytics.Widgets.Internal.addToBindingsCache('dxTextBox: { value: label3Value }', function($context, $element) { return { 'dxTextBox': function() { return { 'value': $context.$data.label3Value } } } });
        e.Wizard.events.addHandler('beforeInitialize', beforeInitializeWizard);
        e.Wizard.events.addHandler('afterInitialize', afterInit);
        e.Wizard.events.addHandler('beforeFinish', (result) => {
            result.state.customData = result.state.customData || 'CustomizeEmptyReport';
        });
    }
}

The following code processes custom data in the ReportWizardCustomizationService.TryCreateCustomReport method:

public override XtraReport TryCreateCustomReport(XtraReportModel model, object dataSource, string dataMember, CustomWizardData customWizardData, XtraReport report) {
    if (Enum.TryParse(customWizardData.ReportTemplateID, out CustomReportType customReportType)) {
        if (customReportType == CustomReportType.InstantReport) {
            return new InstantReport() {
                Name = customWizardData.ReportTemplateID,
                DisplayName = customWizardData.ReportTemplateID
            };
        }
        else if (customReportType == CustomReportType.CustomLabelReport) {
            var labelReport = new LabelReport();
            labelReport.ApplyCustomData(customWizardData.Data);
            return labelReport;
        }
    }
    return base.TryCreateCustomReport(model, dataSource, dataMember, customWizardData, report);
}

The following code deserializes and applies custom data to the report:

    public partial class LabelReport : DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport {
    // ...
        public void ApplyCustomData(string customDataJson) {
            Labels labels = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Labels>(customDataJson);
            xrLabel1.Text = labels.Label1;
            xrLabel2.Text = labels.Label2;
            xrLabel3.Text = labels.Label3;
            Name = labels.ReportName;
            DisplayName = labels.ReportName;
        }
    }
    // ...
}
