Class ReportItemDescriptor
- Namespace
- ReportWright.Design
- Assembly
- ReportWright.Design.dll
What the designer knows about one kind of report item (A.7.2): where it sits in the palette, its icon and label, its default size, the element it emits, the property sections the grid shows, and the schematic it draws on the surface. Items are registered, never hard-coded; adding one is adding a descriptor.

Gets the default width in twips.
- Group
Gets the palette group.
- IconKey
Gets the icon key.
- Id

- Kind
Gets the element kind.
- Label
Gets the label.
- MinimumVersion
Gets the oldest schema version the element exists in; the palette greys the entry out in an older file (decisions, item 2).

Gets why the item cannot be placed, for the palette's tooltip; null when it can.
- PropertySections
Gets the property sections the grid shows for this kind, from the property catalogue.
Methods
- Child(DesignerDocument, RdlElement, string)
Adds a child element.
- CreateElement(DesignerDocument, string)
Creates the element a placement inserts, without position or size (the document sets those).
- Display(string?, out bool)
The display text of a value: an expression becomes a bracketed placeholder (A.7.4), a literal is itself.
- Draw(RdlElement, int, int)
Draws the schematic (A.7.3): real geometry where it is cheap, bracketed expression text where a value would be.
- Matches(RdlElement)
Whether an element is one of this kind; the default compares the element name, a chart descriptor also reads the chart type.
- Named(DesignerDocument, string, string)
A new element of this document's namespace with a name attribute.
