  In the designer is a list of elements such as BandedList, Barcode, […], TextBox.
  
  New to swiss payment standards, we have to include a QR Code to all invoices.
  
  This code will be:

  • 46x46mm (V23)
  • 7x7mm swiss cross (img) centered
  • Error proveness “M” (= reduncy of 15%)
  • Free space of 1.6mm on all sides
    
    (Find example below)

  Now I wanted to know if I can create such a custom element and provide it to the user designer for every single record.
  
  If seen https://www.grapecity.com/en/forums/ar3-ar6/add-custom-control-to-tool this link, but the provided answer does not have an actual target (or not anymore).

  Looking forward for tips,

  Cheers

  Hi Peter,

  Yes, you can definitely add a custom control to the Designer toolbox which can be placed on the report. For Page/RDL reports, you’ll have to write a class which implements the ICustomReportItem interface and override its methods. I have attached a sample application which adds a RadarChart as a report item to the Designer. Please take a look.
  
  For the QR code, you’ll have to create your own control with the specifications and add it in a similar way.

  Hope it helps
