Custom Report Wizard

edited May 2003 in End User
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.


    Cheers,
