How to Create Custom Function for DevExpress XtraReports Calculated Field


I know how to create Custom Fields in a DataSet for a Report in DecExpress XtraReports. But I need to Declare a Custom Function in available function list for Calculated Fields. I do not know how to solve this problem.

source type : Date
result : Date String In other Calendar Formats

source type : TinyInt (Enumeration)
result : Custom Enumeration Value Name

Solution

  • As per Q232469 and S132091 it isn't supported without using Scripts. However in saying that the Expression Editor does allow for Custom Functions as per Implementing Custom Functions I would look at this sample How to: Implement a Custom Criteria Language Operator and see if it does what you need.

    Otherwise the suggestion is to add a Calculated Field then in your Script override the returned value of that Calculated Field see Calculated Fields

    Hope this helps
