const ReportDesigner = dynamic(() => import('devexpress-reporting-react/dx-report-designer'), {ssr: false})

function App() {
  const designerRef = React.useRef<DxReportDesignerRef>(null);

  function onBeforeRender(args: any): void {
    // You can adjust Report Designer settings here. 
  }

  function doSomething() {
    // Invokes New Report Wizard
    designerRef.current?.instance().RunWizard('NewViaReportWizard');
  }

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={doSomething}>Invoke Report Wizard</button>
      <ReportDesigner ref={designerRef} reportUrl="TestReport">
        <RequestOptions host="http://localhost:5000/" getDesignerModelAction="DXXRD/GetDesignerModel" />
        <Callbacks BeforeRender={onBeforeRender} />
      </ReportDesigner>
    </>
  )
}

export default App

set designerModel(newVal: DevExpress.Reporting.Designer.IReportDesignerRootContext)

Property Value

Type
IReportDesignerRootContext

Methods

AddParameterType(parameterInfo, editorInfo) Method

Declaration

AddParameterType(
    parameterInfo: DevExpress.Reporting.Designer.Data.IParameterTypeValue,
    editorInfo: DevExpress.Analytics.Utils.IEditorInfo
): void

Parameters

Name	Type
parameterInfo	IParameterTypeValue
editorInfo	IEditorInfo

AddToPropertyGrid(groupName, property) Method

Declaration

AddToPropertyGrid(
    groupName: string,
    property: DevExpress.Analytics.Utils.ISerializationInfo
): void

Parameters

Name	Type
groupName	string
property	ISerializationInfo

AdjustControlCore Method

Declaration

AdjustControlCore(): void

CloseCurrentTab Method

Declaration

CloseCurrentTab(): void

CloseTab(tab) Method

Closes the specified report tab

Declaration

CloseTab(
    tab: DevExpress.Reporting.Designer.Tools.INavigateTab,
    force?: boolean
): void

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tab	INavigateTab
force	boolean	True to silently close the tab; false to show the Save Report dialog. If omitted, the value is false.

Remarks

The CloseTab method closes the specified Report Designer tab.

The force parameter value determines whether or not to show the Save Report dialog if the report in the tab contains unsaved changes, as follows:

True

the tab is closed without notification. Changes are not saved.

False

the Save Report dialog is invoked.

To access all available Report Designer tabs, call the GetTabs method.

Use the CloseCurrentTab method to close the currently active tab.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the method.

ASP.NET Core

<script type="text/javascript">
  function CloseSecondTab() {
      var tabs = reportDesigner.GetTabs();
      reportDesigner.CloseTab(tabs[1]);
  }

  function ForceCloseSecondTab() {
      var tabs = reportDesigner.GetTabs();
      reportDesigner.CloseTab(tabs[1], true);
  }
  function CloseCurrentTab() {
      reportDesigner.CloseCurrentTab();
  }
</script>

@{
    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("reportDesigner")
        .Height("1000px")
        .Bind("TestReport");
    @designerRender.RenderHtml()
}

Tip

When the user closes a report tab in the Web Report Designer, the ReportTabClosing and ReportTabClosed events are raised. Call the IsModified method to determine whether a report in any tab is changed.

GetTabs Method

Returns open tabs in the Report Designer.

Declaration

GetTabs(): DevExpress.Reporting.Designer.Tools.INavigateTab[]

Returns

Type	Description
INavigateTab[]	An array of Report Designer tabs.

Remarks

Use the GetTabs method to obtain all open tabs in the Web Report Designer.

The following code gets all tabs and closes the second tab:

ASP.NET Core

<script type="text/javascript">
    function CloseSecondTab() {
        var tabs = reportDesigner.GetTabs();
        reportDesigner.CloseTab(tabs[1]);
    }
</script>

@{
    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("reportDesigner")
        .Height("1000px")
        .Bind("TestReport");
    @designerRender.RenderHtml()
}

IsModified Method

Indicates whether a report in the Report Designer’s active tab is changed.

Declaration

IsModified(): boolean

Returns

Type	Description
boolean	True if the report has been modified; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the IsModified property to determine if a report in the current tab is modified. After you save the modified report (or take another action to process it), call the JSReportDesigner.ResetIsModified method to clear the modification flag.

You can also use the NavigateTab.isModified property to determine whether a report loaded to a particular tab is modified.

Example

The following code demonstrates how to save a modified report in the active tab, and how to save all modified reports in the Report Designer.

ASP.NET Core

<script type="text/javascript" id="script">
    // Saves a modified report in the active tab
    // and clears the modification flag.
    function saveCurrentReport() {
        if (reportDesigner.IsModified()) {
            reportDesigner.SaveNewReport("Rep1");
            reportDesigner.ResetIsModified();
        }
    };
    // Saves modified reports in all tabs,
    // clears the modification flags,
    // displays a message when the report is successfully saved.
    function saveAllReports() {
        var tabs = reportDesigner.GetTabs();
        tabs.forEach(tab => {
            if (tab.isModified()) {
                if (!tab.url()) tab.url('Report' + Date.now());
                reportDesigner.ReportStorageSetData(tab.context().report.serialize(), tab.url())
                    .done(function (result) {
                        tab.resetIsModified();
                        DevExpress.Analytics.Internal.ShowMessage(DevExpress.Analytics.Utils.getLocalization("The report has been successfully saved.",
                            "ASPxReportsStringId.ReportDesigner_SaveReport_Message_OK"), DevExpress.Analytics.Internal.NotifyType.success);
                    });
            }
        });
    };

OpenReport(url) Method

Opens the specified report.

Declaration

OpenReport(
    url: string
): void

Parameters

Name	Type
