The report dialog is constructed automatically by the UI builder in Sysoperationframework
, but sometimes you may want to influence how the controls are visualized in the dialog. In this recipe, let's see the different options available for grouping and ordering controls in a report. There are multiple options for this. We will start with a simple grouping mechanism and move on to more sophisticated changes.
This recipe will extend the PktRDLCustTransList report we built in Chapter 3, Report Programming Model, and the PktInventBatchTrans report built in Chapter 4, Report Programming Model – RDP.
This section will discuss grouping controls at the model level, that is, in the Visual Studio editor, followed by grouping controls at the UI builder and contract level.
