Drill-Down to a Different Report

[johnham]

There seems to be a field in the Drill Down properties called "Drill-Down Report". I figured that this would allow you to have drill down into another report. However, my problem is that I store my reports in an SQL Database. Is there a hook or event that I can use to load a report during drill-down?

Hello John,

You can use GetDrillDownReport of component. You need fill e.Report property in hanlder of this event. For example:

Code: Select all

StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load("report.mrt");
e.Report = report;

Thank you.

Where do I find a reference to the Component. My code is all based on the Report.

For Design:

Code: Select all

StiReport Report = new StiReport();
Report.Design();

For Print:

Code: Select all

StiReport Report = new StiReport();
Report.Print();

For Preview:

Code: Select all

StiReport Report = new StiReport()
Report.Preview();

Of course these are simple examples but as you can see I am not using a component directly. Is there a reference to an StiComponent somewhere in my Report object?

Hello John,

I mean GetDrillDownReport event of any component in report. Please look at attached image.

Thank you.

My end users are not programmers. Is there anyway I can hook this event in my code like I do the loading event and just provide this functionality for them?

Like before I load the designer or print or preview I good hook an event that would attempt to find the report they specify in the "Drill-Down Report" property of the component.
