Interface Elements for Desktop > Report Designer > Report Designer for WPF > Interface Elements > Control Toolbox
The Control Toolbox contains all available report controls and allows end-users to add them to the report being edited. Report controls can display both static and dynamic information of different kinds (simple or formatted text, pictures, tables, etc.) and adjust a report layout (organize controls within panels, insert page brakes, etc.)
The available report controls can be divided into the following categories.
