I have a standard winforms app displaying numerous Telerik reports in a winforms ReportViewer, using Reporting Q3 2015.
My users would like a couple features implemented:
1. Ability to select/copy/paste report content from a report to some other app.
When the report is instantiated in the report viewer and mouse is over it, a hand cursor appears, enabling scrolling of the report, but no other functionality.
Is there a way to alter that behavior to allow a user to select some content in the report, then CTRL-C it, similar to what can be done in reports in the Telerik web report viewer?
I don't need to allow editing of the report at runtime, just "mousedown -> drag to select -> ctrl-c".
2. Ability to export reports to PDF or Excel without having to save first.
I found this article: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/faq-display-pdf-browser.html
Obviously the winforms report viewer already has export to PDF/Excel functionality in the report toolbar... Is there a way to override that click event?
Of course I could simply put a new button on the form, enabling that export without saving first functionality... but having 2 export buttons certainly isn't efficient.
If it makes any difference, in my app I have some reports implemented as classes from a library, and others as trdx files. So can go either way if it makes things easier.
Thanks much for assistance with these issues.
