Change custom report layout by C/SIDE

Roger

If I have a report with two defined custom reports, how can I choose one of this layouts before printing the report? I wnat to to that by C/SIDE. Is it possible?

Thanks for all answers.

Hi @Roger ,
There is an event before the report selection that allow you to personalize the business logic: you could check for a field on order (i.e.) and select the Custom Report Layout before the report selection.
This should help you.

Have a nice day,
Roby

Hi Michael,
No, the way in Robys answer was not that was i have needed. But in BC140, there a a new event who solved exactly what i want.

Codeunit 951 "Document Report Mgt." has the event OnAfterGetCustomLayoutCode. With this event i was able to change the custom layout, which user can choose on an page who i have provided for that, like this:

LOCAL [EventSubscriber] OnAfterSetCustomLayoutCode(ReportID : Integer;VAR CustomLayoutCode : Code[20])

IF SelectionHeader.GET(PrintCode) THEN BEGIN
IF SelectionHeader."To Thank Letter Rep. Lay. Code" <> '' THEN BEGIN
CustomLayoutCode := SelectionHeader."To Thank Letter Rep. Lay. Code";
END;
END;

Hope, this helps

Hi Roger,

Unfortunately I work on NAV 2017 and not on BC, I think that I will create two different reports in place of two layout.

Thanks for your reply and your help/

Hi Michael

May it could be a solution to implement your own publisher event "OnAfterSetCustomLayoutCode" in codeuint 9651. Then you'll have the same possibility as in BC.

Yes I see this codeunit and the function "TryUpdateRdlcLayout". I will try this option.
Thanks again,

On 2017 there is a function on TAB77 you call before printing.
As I remember it’s called something like SetTempLayoutCode.

Remember to set it back with a blank Code afterwards.
