Source Code

Executing the example requires to place the following code in the body of the executeExample method of the ViewController class (see the Displaying of Regular Report section):

// Get regular report object
MAProceduralReportViewController *proceduralReportController = (MAProceduralReportViewController *)m_controller;
// Get array of regular report views
NSArray *dataViewControllers = [proceduralReportController dataViewControllers];
// Parse regular report views in cycle
for( UIViewController *controller in dataViewControllers)
{
    // Check if the current view is a regular report sheet viewer
    if([controller isMemberOfClass:[MAProceduralReportDataViewController class]])
    {
        // Get sheet viewer view
        MAProceduralReportDataViewController *dataViewController =(MAProceduralReportDataViewController *)controller;
        // Get number of regular report documents
        int documentsCount = [dataViewController documentsCount];
        // Get current document index in regular report
        int currentDocumentIndex = [dataViewController currentDocumentIndex];
        // Check if the next document exists
        if(currentDocumentIndex + 1 < documentsCount)
        {
            // Display next document name in the development environment consloe
            NSLog(@"Document name: %@",[dataViewController documentNameAtIndex:currentDocumentIndex + 1]);
            // Open document
            [dataViewController openDocumentAtIndex:currentDocumentIndex + 1];
        }
    }
}

After executing the example the mobile device screen displays a regular report. This report contains a document, which name is displayed in the development environment console:

Document name: Profile
