Report Template Editor
Hi all
I've got a situation in whcih I'm stuck. I need to create a report template editor. (I'm using C# in Windows Application). The idea is that the user will select the feilds from the screens (that will be dispalyed on the top part of the screen and the report should be generated accordingly. I'm also including an example of the same here.
There is a screen with a lot of questions and answers. Some of these answers are in textbox and some are checkboxes. The answers have been grouped against each question.
So when the user opens the retport template editor he writes some static text and selects the feilds according to his choice.The report when generated should take the actual values and display it to the user. The selection is not restricted. User might chosse all the answers or some answers. So the statement generated should be The user selected 1and 2 but not selected 3,4 and 5 or the generaed sstaement could be The User answered 1, 2 and 3. The user did not answere 4 and 5. Also the text of the answer should be configurable viz., for example, if a user answers hilday then the text should be displayed as vacation
The ultimate idea being the generated statement should also be configurable for user.
The interface should be as simple as possible with formatting and gender recognition incorporated in the generaed document viz., the headings in Bold, underline and centered, sub heading Bold and left align etc.,
I've already created a sample which allows user to drag and drop feilds but it has got a lot of delimiters for alternative text for each answer. The client rejected saying that this si a lot cumbersome looking and with all the delimiters it looks as if he is writing code and he wants the display to look as plain english.
Hope I'm clear with the idea!!!!!!1
Can anyone suggest me on how to acheive this in minimal time? say in a span of 10 days or so?
