ReportObject Class
The ReportObject class is an abstract class that all report objects derive from. It contains all properties and methods that are common for any type of report within the application.
Properties
A ReportObject object has the following properties:
- ExportType – This value indicates which format to export the report.
- Uses the enumeration wrExportType.
- IsEditAllowed – Boolean value. If False the report object cannot be edited because the active role does not have access to one or more elements defined in the report object.
- IsExecuteAllowed - Boolean value. If False the report cannot be executed because the active role does not permit access to one or more Data objects on the report.
