customize WPF Reportviewer

[Dieter]

Hi there

I want to add a combobox into the Reportviewer Toolbar so that i can change the size (A0,A1,A2 ....) from the Report which is displayed.

Until now i have added the following into the Telerik.ReportViewer.Wpf.xaml

<telerikInput:RadComboBox x:Name="PapersizeCb" 
                          ItemsSource="{Binding PaperSizeList}" 
                          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedPaperSize}">
</telerikInput:RadComboBox>

My Problem is that i don't know how i can modify the Viewmodel of the Reportviewer to bind my Properties.

 

The version of Telerik I'm using is Q3 2014 SP1.

 Regards

Hello Dieter,

As of Q1 2014 Telerik WPF ReportViewer uses only implicit styles, where its template is exported in a XAML file per theme (C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q1 2015\Wpf\Themes). Also the ReportViewerModel is only for internal usage, where to work with the viewer you can rely on the exposed API.

Instead you can add a custom control overriding the default control, which is bound to the properties of the viewer's ReportViewerModel. In the overridden methods you can interpret the received values as required e.g. change the report's PageSettings properties and update the viewer's ReportSource.
