Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to tell what the runtime location of a panel or other report element will be once the data is populated and the report is rendered...?
I am generating a report with some unknown amount of data in a table, then rendering the report into a pdf using the ReportProcessor and RenderingResult classes. Once the pdf is rendered, I hope to append some additional objects to the pdf outside of telerik reporting, so I set up an empty panel at the bottom of the report for this piece. The issue is though that I have to add my objects by specifying the x and y PDF page coordinates, I just need to know (even approximately) how far down my panel will be.
Is this possible? As far as I can tell the panel.Location coordinates are given in terms of the design time layout.
Thanks!
Robert

Hello Robert,
Your findings are correct, the Location of a report item would always contain the location specified in the report definition. The actual location is defined after the report has been processed and paged and you do not have access to these.
