(WYSIWYG Report writer) How to place a DataReport in design mode on a form at Runtime??
-
hi.. I am trying to design a 'What You See Is What You Get' (WYSIWYG) type Report writer tool... I want the user to be able to place labels, pictures and fields from a Database on to the report.. Can anyone give me tips on how i should do this?? The DataReport designer which comes with Visual Basic does everything i want to do.. Is there a way that i could use the 'design view' of the DataReport at run-time in a VB or VC application and then invoke the actual report through a command button or a menu-option??? In other words, how can i place a DataReport in design mode on a form at Runtime?? Can it be done???? please help ananth

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for but hopefully it will help. If you can afford to purchase a product you should check out ActiveReports by DataDynamics, they have an end user design component. Their website is located at www.datadynamics.com I have no affiliation with them, other than being a satisfied customer. Good Luck!
