  Line object is rendering if height property not zero. ???

  
  
  If we change the Height of Line object, it will not remain a straight line, it will be a ziczac... So even it display, this solution is not workable.

  FastReport.net 2017.1.0 - Still not Printing Horizontal Line Object in Web Report. Also I cannot use buttons on Viewer in Asp.net project, that can be used to drill down the report....Can anyone share how to use drill down (button events) in Asp.net Projects.

  1. LINE OBJECT
  use textobject and border property as workaround, in fastreport user manual, stated :
  
  If possible, use the object's border instead of "Line" object. This will simplify the report and
  avoid possible problems with the export to different formats.
  
  2. DRILL DOWN REPORT
  I use workaround too, see attached pictures (I use google drive, download it) :
  Image 1 : basic report
  
  Image 2 : popup report/url]
  
  If you click nota or deposit in the report column (image 1), it will popup another report (image 2).
  To achieve that:
  
  in frx file, let's say 'nota' and 'deposit' are printed by textobject with name "Text14" :
  
  

  <TextObject Name="Text14" Left="120.96" Width="83.16" Height="22.68" Hyperlink.Expression=""java script:btnPopup(" + [MainReport.Urut] + "," + [MainReport.InvID] + ");"" Text="[MainReport.Uraian]" WordWrap="false" Font="Tahoma, 10pt"/>
  

  
  looks weird : Hyperlink.Expression actually contains this expression :
  "java script:btnPopup(" + [MainReport.Urut] + "," + [MainReport.InvID] + ");"
  
  and in html page, there is a script :

  <script type="text/javascript">
      var btnPopup = function (source, id) {
          var DTO = { "source": source, "id": id };
          //use ajax to load another report
          $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              //I use asp.net MVC and WebAPI, this function will call a method in webapi to load second report
              url: "/api/report/load4",
              data: JSON.stringify(DTO),
              contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
              dataType: "json",
              success: function (data) {
                  //a widget to simulate popup window and second report is in this window
                  $("#jqxHelper").jqxWindow("open");
                  $("#popup").html(data);
              },
              error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                  $.MessageBox({ top: "10%", message: "AJAX error." });
              }
          });
      };
  </script>
  
  <div id="fastreport"></div>
  <div id="jqxHelper"><div id="popup"></div></div>
  

  
  
  in WebAPI
  

  public class ReportController : ApiController
  {
          public class myAPILoad4
          {
              public int source { get; set; }
              public int id { get; set; }
          }

                          cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                          cmd.CommandText = "your query name";
                          cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", value.id);
                          using (FastReport.Web.WebReport wr = new FastReport.Web.WebReport())
                          {
                              wr.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Percentage(100);

                              wr.ToolbarIconsStyle = FastReport.Web.ToolbarIconsStyle.Custom;
                              wr.ButtonsPath = "/content/";
                              wr.Report.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/yourfrxfile.frx"));
  
                              using (SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                              {
                                  using (DataTable dt = new DataTable())
                                  {
                                      dt.Load(dr);
                                      dt.TableName = "MainReport";
                                      if (dt.Rows.Count == 0)
                                      {
                                          throw (new Exception("Record not found."));
                                      }
                                      wr.Report.RegisterData(dt, dt.TableName);
                                  }
                              }
  
                              wr.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
                              retval = wr.GetHtml().ToHtmlString();
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  retval = "<h3>" + ex.Message + "</h3>";
              }
              return retval;

  Thanks for the detail and quickest reply.
  
  Can you please share similar code for calling Asp.net instead of MVC. One more point is that we not using .frx, rather we convert into class and add C# in project and then create its object. So should we defined the httplink.expression in frx file on a textbox and will this script transformed in C# Code ?

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  you may try, but..... the point is, use hyperlink expression in a textobject to execute javascript, for example :
  

      var btnOpenDrilldownReport = function (event) {
          window.open("/secondreport.aspx", "_blank");
      };

  I am trying this in Report after getting it converted to C#, as we are using Class files instead of frx files.
  
  1. When I tried to add HyperLink Expression, when generated C# file, it added a code, which is throwing Error: CalcExpression ... Why designer adding URL Hyperlink Expression as Calculating Express method.
  
  2. So What I did is just added thru Code executing it. I added following code.
  rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Hyperlink.Expression = "\"java script:alert([myDataSource.CountryName]);\"";
  rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Text = "[myDataSource.CountryName]";
  
  Now Report is working, column is showing field value, but when I click HyperLink, It catch error that myDataSource is not Define... Can you guide me how to access the DataSourceName in Java Script.

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  1. that's how fastreport translates your expression into code.
  when you open your frx file in designer and save as 'class', the code :

       protected override object CalcExpression(string expression, Variant Value)
      {
        if (expression == "\"java script:window.open('/home','_blank');\"")
          return "java script:window.open('/home','_blank');";
        if (expression == "Value < 0")
          return Value < 0;
        return null;
      }
  

  
  2. See attachment :
  a. picture 1 : you need 'kind' property = URL and 'expression' property
  b. picture 2 : edit 'expression' property to access datasource
  
  on development stage, use frx template file, make sure it works as expected.
  on production stage, save frx file as a class

  Thanks alot for quick reply. Actually, we are setting/registering data dynamically on report run. Data source is not defined in FRX and in design time. On Runtime we register Data and bind textboxes with particular fields. Can you give any idea how to access Datasource values/fields thru javascript in such designed reports.

  sorry, i never use fastreport from code, but.....i tried this and success :

                                      wr.Report.RegisterData(dt, dt.TableName);
                                      
                                      //create hyperlink on the fly
                                      foreach (FastReport.Base obj in wr.Report.AllObjects)

  Really appreciate your effort to help me.
  
  Basically we are creating reports (frx) files without any predefined datasets, as we are attaching reports with Business objects at runtime, hence in frx files there is no DataSet defined. To run the report, we set following values at runtime. Now in this case, Javascript, cannot access the Datasource object may be because its not pre-defined.
  Is there any way to access these dynamic data source from Javascript.
  

              
              InternalDataSourceName = "MyDataSourceName"
              rpt.RegisterData(IList_DataSource, InternalDataSourceName);
              rpt.GetDataSource(InternalDataSourceName).Enabled = true;
              DataBand.DataSource = rpt.GetDataSource(InternalDataSourceName);
  
              rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Hyperlink.Expression = "\"java script:alert('\" + [MyDataSource.CountryName] + \"');\"";
              rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Text = "[myDataSource.CountryName]";
  
• ipong

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  based on your code, InternalDataSourceName = "MyDataSourceName"
  
  why you set [MyDataSource.CountryName] in javascript, instead of [MyDataSourceName.CountryName]
  
  
• devoas

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  Its just a typo error in copying part of text from actual code. As in actual code, this name is also passed by report caller... So corrected here
  

              InternalDataSourceName = "MyDataSource"
              rpt.RegisterData(IList_DataSource, InternalDataSourceName);
              rpt.GetDataSource(InternalDataSourceName).Enabled = true;
              DataBand.DataSource = rpt.GetDataSource(InternalDataSourceName);
  
              rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Hyperlink.Expression = "\"java script:alert('\" + [MyDataSource.CountryName] + \"');\"";
              rpt.txttbl_Countryname.Text = "[MyDataSource.CountryName]";
  

  
  The report is running, showing data column, hyperlink is also shown but when clicked nothing happen and browser debugger show "UnCatught Reference Error: MyDataSource is not Defined"

  Finally get this working. You are my hero. Thanks alot. I made a mistake and that was removing the method CalcExpression, which was initially causing error from generated C# file. That is why in javascript call instead of value, it was [Datasource.Fieldname] and I was in impression that it will evaluate in JS .... But now I found that this method convert the expression to actual value and link automatically converted to correct call like javascript.alert('USA'); .....
  
  Once again I am really thankful for your constant and detail replied.

  Hi Ipong,
  
  I just saw new version of FastReport 2017.1.13, changes say
  [WebReport]
  - fixed bug with handling of onClick event in WebReport
  
  Just to test, I made a report, with Hyperlink Type Custom and attach Click Event but its now showing a clickable on viewer and click even also not working. So feature like drill down (expanding/collapsing) any group still not achievable.
  
  Can you please help on this.

        if (expandedGroups.Contains(groupName))
          expandedGroups.Remove(groupName);
        else
          expandedGroups.Add(groupName);
        
        // refresh the report
        Report.Refresh();

  drilldown report doesnt need hyperlink, do not mixed up with javascript click action sample.
  
  1. original frx file, rptCOA.frx
  2. picture drilldown report, before click
  3. picture drilldown report, after click
  4. converted frx file to class (i renamed frCOA.cs to frCOA.txt)
  5. code in asp.net

  FastReport.Web.WebReport wr1 = new FastReport.Web.WebReport();
  wr1.Report = new frCOA();
  wr1.Report.RegisterData(dt, dt.TableName);
  .......
  

  
  notes :
  1. i can't test in medium trust hosting environment because my project uses ms.access database
  2. in frCOA.txt :

  //before edit
  "=\"255, 128, 0\" LineHeight=\"22.68\" />\r\n
  
  //after edit
  "=\"255, 128, 0\" LineHeight=\"22.68\" ClickEvent=\"Text3_Click\"/>\r\n
  
  //and comment this
  //Text3.Click += Text3_Click;

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  WOW, its working, I used your frx file and attached Business Object to test it and its working .... For just a test, i added ClickEvent=\"Text3_Click\ on text2 and text5.... Noted that test2 responded for Click Event but text5 which is from Detail Band did not responded to click Event.... Does this means ClickEvent can only be attached on GroupHeaders ? is this assumption right ...?
  
  
• ipong

  December 2016 edited 6:03PM

  yes, because it is drilldown report, when you click an object in group header, it will expand/collapse data1 or footer.
  
  thanks for your info, now I can create an interactive report, for example : sort column at runtime, when you click an object in column header, it will sort the column in data1

  Happy New Year!.
  
  Its really good idea to enable click event on Column headers and sort report based on it. If you create any sample pls do share here.
  
  My question was that ClickEvent as per documentation can be attached on any object. But if you try to attach click Event on any object other than Group header, it will not respond to click Event, neither it will show as clickable in preview nor it will come to click Event code if you apply break point. So why this has such behavior, If click event can work on Detail Object smoothly, we don't need to use Javascript to open separate report, we can call directly from open thru C# Code (code behind). What is your input on this.

  sort at runtime

    public class ReportScript
    {
      private bool toggle = false;
      
      private void Text4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
        toggle = !toggle;
        Sort abc = Data1.Sort[0];
        abc.Descending = toggle;      
        Report.Refresh();
      }
    }

  click event and javascript are two different beasts and for two different intents
  there is a reason why you must use javascript to open subreport, for example :
  main report contains 100 rows
  sub report contains 1000 rows for each row in main report
  
  non javascript method : you must register all data (100 + (100 * 1000) rows) at once
  javascript method : only register 100 rows at first time, when user need details, open another report to register 1000 rows dynamically
