Ribbon Interface provides easy creation of templates and high representativeness as MS Word. The Ribbon Report Designer Interface is developed to eliminate all the shortcomings of the previous version of report designer such as less flexibility, usability and convenience.

In the current version of Report Sharp-Shooter, new report designer can be invoked from start menu (Perpetuum Software->dotNetModelKitSuite->Report Sharp-Shooter->Run Report sharp-Shooter Samples Center) by pressing the “Design Template with New DesignerForm” button. Or you can invoke the report designer directly from code manually. The designer includes 4 tabs: Home, Insert, Layout, and View. These tab sections includes the controls which are grouped according to their functions. Thus, the development of any template becomes productive and less time consuming.

New version 5.0.0.0 of Report Sharp-Shooter will feature contextual tabs. Contextual tabs will allow you to provide the user with UI controls within a certain context, for example, when some object in a report template is selected. Contextual tabs with a similar context are organized in a contextual tab group so you can have more than one tab in a group.

A convenient preview during the selection of properties values provides the ability to see the result of changes in element immediately. Preview will be available for Font, FontSize, TextFill, Angle, Fill, Gallery of Styles, SizeMode, Line, Shadow, Label, BackColor and BarColor.

And one more useful functionality will be developed in Report Sharp-Shooter 5.0.0.0. Quick access toolbar will include standard controls like save, undo, redo and so on.

Report Sharp-Shooter 5.0.0.0 release will be available in the middle of November, 2010.
