ReportViewer and ActiveX

[Soren S. Jorgensen]

Hi,

I need to (somehow) show the ReportViewer (Microsoft Reports) in a ActiveX
control.

I got a 3rd. party app (SAP Business One) where I need to use the
ReportViewer and the only way to show the control (using SBO's internal API)
is through an ActiveX control.

I see no posiblity to "load" the ReportViewer control from COM (I could be
wrong here)

Has anyone an idea how to approach this ??
Any thoughts greatly appriciated...: )

Soren,

Unfortunately, there is no supported way to export a .NET control to
COM.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,

Well - with a little C++ MFC programming there actually is !!

With new MFC 8 classes CWinFormsView, CWinFormsContro l and CWinFormsDialog
you're able to "host" your .NET UserControls in MFC apps.
Creating a MFC ActiveX and putting a CWinFormsContro l (hosting a
Microsoft.Repor ting.WinForms.R eportViewer) on it, I'm now able to (at least)
show the viewer as an ActiveX control. Still needs to do some work mapping
events, properties ect - but I'm getting there :)

As the new MFC classes are fullt documenten, so must be the approach!!
