Designer on an own form

rbuser

Hallo,

I want to show then Reportdesigner for our end-users on my own form, where
I want to place the designer and some other components.

I did:

ReportDesigner.Form.Parent := MyPanel;
ReportDesigner.Form.BorderStyle := bsnone;
ReportDesigner.Form.Align := alClient;
ReportDesigner.Show;

The designer appears on my form, but the designer's main menu isn't there.
Where is the main menu gone???

Hi Christine,

Check out the MDI demo located in the \RBuilder\Demos\3. EndUser\4. MDI\...
directory. This gives an example of loading a complete Report Designer
inside another form using MDI.

Hi Christine,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to embed the Report Designer inside
another form. The Designer was never meant to be added to another form, it
is meant to be a form of its own. The closest you can get to accomplishing
this is to use MDI. Otherwise, the Designer form will need to be
independent of any others in your application.
