How to customize an old version of the Report Wizard (that was used up to version 13.2)

Important Note: The approach demonstrated in this code example is related to an old version of the Report Wizard that was used up to version 13.2. Starting with version 14.1, a new version of the Report Wizard was introduced, so please refer to the How to customize the New Report Wizard (introduced in the 2014 vol.1 release) in the End-User Designer code example to learn how to customize the new version of the Report Wizard.

This example demonstrates how to create a Custom Report Wizard with the capability to define the SQL query, based on which the resulting report's data source will be generated (see the corresponding suggestion: AS4685).

In order to run you custom wizard in the corresponding handler, override the ReportCommand.NewReportWizard, ReportCommand.AddNewDataSource, and ReportCommand.VerbReportWizard commands (as described in this documentation article: How to: Override Commands in the End-User Designer (Custom Saving). A Custom Report Wizard inherits from the XRWizardRunnerBase class, custom wizard pages are inherited from the InteriorWizardPage class.

Note that for most custom wizard pages, you should override the InteriorWizardPage.OnWizardBack() and InteriorWizardPage.OnWizardNext() virtual methods, to provide proper wizard navigation logic.
