Drill-Down to a Different Report

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?

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.
