Report Parameters - (Whats new in v8.2)

     

In my previous post about what's new in XtraReports for v2008.2 I teased about this new feature. And some of you have guessed it right. Report parameters!.

XtraReport now has a Parameters collection where you can define your params.

Each report parameter can be used anywhere in the report. In filtering expressions, in the formula builder dialog, etc.

For example:

"[Country] = [Parameters.parameter1]"

Now all we need is some UI where an end user can enter the parameter value. And for the default print preview dialogs, that UI is generated automatically.

 

Cheers,

Azret

Hi,

It would be good if it supports FK lookup for parameters natively. For example, automatically use combobox/gridlookupedit/lookupedit to show all records from table country in dialog.

Anyway, parameters feature is definitely a good feature! Thank you

The thing I would like to see in XtraReports more than anything is better support for multiple columns - the ability to prevent a record from being split at a column or page boundary, the ability to insert a column break, and the abilty to define multiple columns at the DetailReport level.

It is better like crystal report enable user to support Discrete, Range and Specified(Multiple values) option. It is very valuable and perfect solution if able to support above features.

Kang Chian Gim,

It is unlikely that multiple-value parameters will be implemented in XtraReports v2008 vol 2. However, we've added this request to our To Do list, and if you want to vote for it, please start tracking the corresponding suggestion at www.devexpress.com/issue=S91884.

I wait to see it also implemented in web-reports :) i've seen the issue, ... it's the last wall to replace Crystal Report.
