Custom Report Wizard

rbuser

Hi,

I'm currently working on an end-user Report Builder system and I've run
into a problem. There is no scroll bar in the Report Wizard when choosing
which data fields you want to appear on the report. Some of our fields have
very long names and need a scroll bar to be seen. I found the Report Wizard
dialog and can add scroll bars in the source, but I will need to repeat that
each time I upgrade Report Builder. What would I need to do to create my own
custom Report Wizard (with scrollbars) and implement it?

Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion. They are simply listboxes at this time. We can
look into changing them to scroll to width, as it does for the height. Try
setting the ScrollWidth property of the listbaxes in our dialog to
accomplish this. The problem is that you should only set it after the field
names are retreived so you can measure the text of each one in order to set
the ScrollWidth property to be that of the longest field name.
