Cosmetic problems

[Johnathan]

I have recently started using the Telerik reporting to make a multi-sourced complex report.  I have figured out how to fulfill most of my requirements, but I have two issues currently with the Telerik reporting that I have not been able to resolve.

Issue #1:

All of the paging/printing/exporting options at the top are doubled up.  (A colored icon and a greyed icon)  This happens regardless of the Skin that I tried.  Since the demos don't have a source option like the other Telerik controls, I have not been able to view how it was done in your demos to make the header look normal.  I have attached a small screenshot below.

Report definition looks like this:

<telerik:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" Width="721px" Height="1100px" runat="server"
    Report="NAVPass.Reports.AMRForm, NAVPass.Reports, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
    ProgressText="Generating AMR document..." Skin="Original">
</telerik:ReportViewer>

Issue #2:

I have checkboxes attached to a data source.  They load correctly, but no matter what parameters I try in the properties, they always appear left justified, and I am trying to center them within the column.  I have tried the following properties:

TextAlign : Center
Padding->Left : [some value]
CheckAlign : MiddleCenter
Location->X : [some value]

The two tables have data sources that are loaded in a fairly straightforward way:

// Detail section
ICollection<Inspection> inspectList = insRepo.GetInspectionsForAMR(ReportParameters["AMRID"].Value.ToString());
tableInspections.DataSource = inspectList;
ICollection<Equipment> equipList = equipRepo.GetEquipmentForAMR(ReportParameters["AMRID"].Value.ToString());
tableEquipment.DataSource = equipList;

From the designer.cs file:

//
// cbRequired
//
this.cbRequired.CheckAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
this.cbRequired.CheckedImage = ((object)(resources.GetObject("cbRequired.CheckedImage")));
this.cbRequired.IndeterminateImage = ((object)(resources.GetObject("cbRequired.IndeterminateImage")));
this.cbRequired.Location = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.PointU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.30000001192092896, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
this.cbRequired.Name = "cbRequired";
this.cbRequired.Size = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.SizeU(new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.59999996423721313, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch), new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.24999998509883881, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch));
this.cbRequired.Style.BorderStyle.Top = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.BorderType.Solid;
this.cbRequired.Style.Padding.Left = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch);
this.cbRequired.Style.TextAlign = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.HorizontalAlign.Center;
this.cbRequired.Style.VerticalAlign = Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.VerticalAlign.Middle;
this.cbRequired.StyleName = "";
this.cbRequired.Text = "     ";
this.cbRequired.UncheckedImage = ((object)(resources.GetObject("cbRequired.UncheckedImage")));
this.cbRequired.Value = "=Fields.Required";

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.  Thanks.

I have submitted this issue as support ticket #333497.

Hello Johnathan,

The images from your post, lead us to think you've encountered the problem described in the following KB article: The styles of the web report viewer's toolbar are messed up.

About the CheckBox troubles you are experiencing we will need more information in order to reproduce it. To avoid any confusion please check out the attached sample project. I have made the checkbox with the code you have provided, we would appreciate if you modify the attached project to reflect the problem.

All the best,
Steve

Thanks.  The first problem with the styles at the top is fixed.  For the checkboxes, I didn't have to do anything to your files except add the report and the objects to my project and test it, and the problem was there immediately.  I broke it out into a new solution that had a page that displays nothing but the report and the collection of objects you created and the problem is there.

I tried to attach a zip file to this post and I am getting the message "File is not of correct type. Try again."  I attached a "gif" with a screenshot of how it appears.  Let me know where to send the zip file.

Hello Johnathan,

Thank you for the screenshoot.

We have reproduced the CheckBox item behavior you have described in  the HTML rendering (were using Image rendering where it is ok).
Currently there is no out of the box way to change this behavior as it is by design following the HTML rendering patterns. As a workaround our suggestion is to nest the CheckBox in a Panel item as I have done in the attached sample report. Make sure it is the same size as the image used for it and align it at the position you want to (center in this case). This will force the CheckBox to keep its alignment settings.

Sincerely yours,
Peter
