Custom columns on Report Explorer

edited July 2015 in General
Hi.

I use Report Explorer in my app to show/view/print reports, and I'd like to add some
custom columns to detailed list view. Is there a simple way to do this?

Using D7, RB 15.05.

Thanks,
Laércio

    Hi La?rcio,

    It is possible to create a custom report explorer descendent that meets
    your needs. Take a look at the following example on adding a button to
    the existing explorer. The same concepts would be used only you would
    add new columns to the listbox.

    Hi Nico, thanks for reply.

    Having a look based on your sample, I think I'll need to override/modify 2 procedures:

    1. ppRptExp: procedure TppReportExplorer.GetItems(aFolderId, aItemType: Integer; aList:
    TStrings);

    2. ppRptExp: procedure TppItemList.GetItemsForFolder;

    The column that I need to add to list view is a custom field on 'ItemPipeline' (saved on
    RB_ITEM table).

    What is the best way to do this?

    Thanks,
    La?rcio

    Hi La?rcio,

    The ListView in the explorer is handled by the TppItemsList object. You
    will need to create your own replacement to this class and use it with
    your custom explorer.

    Currently the ListView columns are created in the SetParent routine and
    defined in the SetSortModeDescription routine.
