Wyn Enterprise: List

In Wyn Enterprise, a List control is a container element of the report that repeatedly displays the data of a report control placed inside the List control for every record in the dataset bound to the report.

To add a List control to a report and to add other controls to the List, navigate to the Report Designer and follow the below instructions:

Drag and drop the List control onto the designer area from the Designer Toolbar.
Using the Inspector Panel on the right side of your screen, customize the appearance of the list. See the Inspector Panel Properties section for more information on the properties of the List control.
Now, drag and drop another report control onto the List control in the design area. For example, drag and drop the TextBox control on the List control.
In the following example scenario,
- A TextBox control is dropped onto the List control. The field (ProductID) of the dataset is bound to the TextBox control.
- On previewing the report, the TextBox control repeats itself and displays all the ProductIDs present in the dataset.
