I have a report with a DataSource based on a StoredProcedure which takes about 1 min to execute.

Is it posible to show something (a progress bar, a message, ...) during loading of report ?

It takes too long before preview and users don't know what's happening.

Thank's

Hello,

In this regard, I would recommend you to check the following example in our Code Central: http://www.devexpress.com/example=E906. It demonstrates implementations of the progress bar for XtraReports versions v2008 vol 2 and the upcoming vol 3 (available in beta), which are slightly different.

 Thank's for it !

Another one.

I have a report with a group header

In this group header I have a label and a table.

This label need to be printed only on first page.

I've done that using label's PrintOnPage where if PageIndex > 0 then e.Cancel = true

Now I need on this pages to acomodate the GroupHeader height and to move that table to be printed in place of that label (upper because in place of the label it's empty space)

I've tried xrTable1.Location = new Point(0,40) and GroupHeader1.Height = GroupHeader.Height - 150 but it's not working.

How can I do this ?

Handling the PrintOnPage event, you cannot move the header's content up. Also, there is no way to obtain the current page number on the BeforePrint event in the current XtraReports version. So, the dilemma cannot be solved by means of using the GroupHeader bands. So, you can start tracking the existing suggestion at http://www.devexpress.com/issue=AS16487, to be notified of its status when it is changed.

Alternatively, you can try to use the ReportHeader band for the label. Probably, this will suit your needs.

 Another issue

I found that loading my DataSource takes too long so I've tried to put a simple form to show a wait message before DataSource is loaded.

Which is the best way to do that ?

Thank's
