Changing the "Preview" Button

[Matt]

So, created the dashboard (report....have to call it a dashboard...don't ask), and have it set the way I want it.  It's a very basic three text inputs and a chart for results.  The trouble is the button that says "Preview".  I wanted to change it to say "Run", however, it doesn't look like there is any line in the code to do so.

Am I missing something?


Thanks gang!

Hi Matt,

In order to change the Preview button text you can:

• Web/Win forms report viewer modify the ReportViewer.Resources.ReportParametersPreviewButtonText property;
• WPF/Silverlight localize the PreviewButtonText property as elaborated in Report Viewer Localization help article.

All the best,

"Web/Win forms report viewer modify the ReportViewer.Resources.ReportParametersPreviewButtonText property"

Where exactly do I find this?  I've scoured my page and seen nothing resembling the information in that link.  This is the problem with not being a coder and being expected to be one.  Sigh...

Hi Matt,

It's a property of the report viewer, it can be set programmatically or declaratively from the Report Designer property grid.

Kind regards,

Ok, we are still having trouble with this.

Can you show me an example programatically how this works?  We also looked through the properties fields and still were unable to find the section you mentioned.  My software guy had some trouble with this as well.

I'm sorry for the trouble on this, but it seems to be a bit of a problem child.

Hello Matt,

Not sure what hurdles you've hit as this is a standard property. I've attached two screenshots showing how to change the property value from both the Visual Studio designer and with code.

Attaching the snapshots worked wonders.  I managed to get the button to change to run after a lot of trial and error.  Thanks a bunch!
