Posted on by @rp@n 30

Hi team,

i have one SSRS report.  In this report in header I have added one text " Duplicate report".

This report is called from 2 diferent menu items. Original and Duplicate

When user click on Original then the text " Duplicate report " should not display in the report 

If they run the report from Duplicate menu item, than the text " Duplicate report" should display in the report.

Kindly let me know how we can enable or disbale the text in report based on the menu item.

Pls give me more shed on this.

thanks!

    Hi,

    I think you can't get the report output menu item in the report design.

    One suggestion will be creating name field on the report temp table and insert the report output menu item into the name field.

    In the report design you can enable or disable the text box based on that name field.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    thanks Girish, almost i understood

    As you said,  "insert the report output menu item into the name field.

    In the report design you can enable or disable the text box based on that name field."

    Kindly send me the sample code pls

    Assuming this is custom report.

    You can get the report menu item in the controller class only.

    So create one name parameter for storing the calling menu item and assign the value in the prePromptModifyContract method.

    In the dp class you can get the values from the contract class.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    Hi Girish, the first suggestion will be the simple I guess . And this is standard report and needs to add the text only in the header.

    Kindly give me the sample code based on your first suggestion to enable or disable text.

    Pls give me more shed on this

    Both my suggestions are interlinked. You need to follow both the suggestions.

    There is no sample code for this. Try to create them and if you stuck on any issues kindly let us know.

    Thanks,

    For 1 menu item, create extension, call your new controller which will call report with duplicate named text in the report. For the other menu item no change is required.

    To make it more simple create 2 design one with original text box and another with duplicate text box.

    Call the respective design on the controller class based on the menu item.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    Hi Girish,

    They asked me to change in the existing design only. Not to create duplicate.

    That particular text should enabled or disabled based on menu item. Thst is the requirement

    Hi, I haven't tested it but can you try to find menuitem in main method of controller class as mentioned in the below article. If you can find it, then you can manipulate textbox based on caller menu items.

    Hi,

    Then you need to create one parm method in contract class- Pass the value in prePromptModifyContract method with the caller menu item.

    Get that parm menu item on the dp class and insert the value into the temp table.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
