How to resize the design section of an ActiveReports Designer control?

Question

Hi all. I'm developing an application (by C#) that has a part that enables the final user to design his self report. It has an option to design automatically ActiveReports controls from a passed data source and shows it, but I can't resize the designe section's ruler to fit it's width.

How can I resize the design section of the designer control programmatically?

Answer 1

Use ActiveReport.ReportWidth property to set section width (in inches) and respective Section.Height to set height.

In order to notify design-time infrastructure (ComponentModel and such) update the values using property descriptor, such as:

TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(report)["ReportWidth"].SetValue(report, 4f);
