How to add External datasets in LRDesigner? »

[hamlettu]

Hi
I read user manual, in DATA SOURCES session(page 5),
it say "External datasets by implementing QAbstractItemModel".
I want to use external datasets in my app like demo_r1.
I see the picture in user manual,
there are external_customers_data and external_orders_data look like root node.

I try to add "Dataset", but it need to use a exist Datasource and sql.
And the Dataset is a child node of Datasource.

How to add External datasets in LRDesigner?

Thanks

Hi!
The simplest way to add an external data source is to realize one slot callback data source.
Just do something like this:

Code: [Select]

void MainWindow::slotOneSlotDS(LimeReport::CallbackInfo info, QVariant &data)
{
    QStringList columns;
    columns << "Name" << "Value" << "Image";
    switch (info.dataType) {
            case LimeReport::CallbackInfo::RowCount:
                data = 4;
                break;
            case LimeReport::CallbackInfo::ColumnCount:
                data = columns.size();
                break;
            case LimeReport::CallbackInfo::ColumnHeaderData: {
                data = columns.at(info.index);
                break;
            }
            case LimeReport::CallbackInfo::ColumnData:
                qDebug() << info.index <<info.columnName;
                if (info.columnName == "Image")
                    data = QImage(":/report//images/logo32");
                else {
                    data = info.columnName+" "+QString::number(info.index);
                }
                break;
            default: break;
        }
}

.....

callbackDatasource = report->dataManager()->createCallbackDatasource("oneSlotDS");
connect(callbackDatasource, SIGNAL(getCallbackData(LimeReport::CallbackInfo,QVariant&)),
            this, SLOT(slotOneSlotDS(LimeReport::CallbackInfo,QVariant&)));
