Question

Do anyone have good ideas of how to modify the toolbar for the WinForms version of the ReportViewer Toolbar? That is, I want to remove some buttons and varius, but it looks like the solution is to create a brand new toolbar instead of modifying the one that is there.

Like, I had to remove export to excel, and did it this way:

  // Disable excel export   foreach (RenderingExtension extension in lr.ListRenderingExtensions()) {     if (extension.Name == 'Excel') {       //extension.Visible = false; // Property is readonly...       FieldInfo fi = extension.GetType().GetField('m_isVisible', BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);       fi.SetValue(extension, false);     }   } 

A bit trickysh if you ask me.. For removing toolbarbuttons, an possible way was to iterate through the Control array inside the ReportViewer and change the Visible property for the buttons to hide, but it gets reset all the time, so it is not an good way..

WHEN do MS come with an new version btw?

Answer 1

There are a lot of properties to set which buttons would you like to see.

For example ShowBackButton, ShowExportButton, ShowFindControls, and so on. Check them in the help, all starts with ‘Show’.

But you are right, you cannot add new buttons. You have to create your own toolbar in order to do this.

What do you mean about new version? There is already a 2008 SP1 version of it.
