Choose default export type

[Gilgen]

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to choose the default export type selected. Indeed, i restricted the export to the PDF export only and I want to select it by default.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jonathan,

Currently it is not possible to have a predefined/preselected export format, which however makes sense and it is logged on as a feature request. For the time being you can hide the export combobox and button by setting the viewer's ShowExportGroup property to false. You can then handle the export by yourself through external UI, which would allow only export to PDF (more info here).

Kind regards,

You can achieve this with a bit of jquery after the viewer has been displayed: 

$('[id*="ReportToolbar_ExportGr_FormatList_DropDownList"]')[0].selectedIndex = (index of the default option you want);

Has this been updated? I'm curious if a default export type can be set on the latest version of the ReportViewer for wpf? I would prefer to go with a custom UI, but due to the ReportViewerModel being hidden with that latest update I was forced to rethink this approach. As it currently stands I cannot access the page controls (moveToNextPage, moveToLastPage, etc..) from outside of the template. So, in order to have a nice UI that is based around a single toolbar I need to be able to work with the template provided for the ReportViewer. I am implementing my own dialog for exporting with different options. Similar to what you have linked to above I have been able to setup an export for my reports and I can easily present this to the user by subscribing to the ExportBegin event and stopping the default.  I would like to be able to modify the template to allow the user to click a button rather than the provided drop-down. Yet, the ReportViewerModel seems to only be able to work with a drop-down's selection.  I'm looking for a way to set and trigger a default export form a button click in wpf.

Hello Zack,

Please check my post in the Custom Toolbar (ReportModelViewer missing) forum thread. I believe that using the ReportProcessor and custom UI will allow you to accomplish the task.

If you need further help, let us continue the discussion in the above linked thread.


Thank you for your understanding.
