Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on modifying the layout in the UIbuilder class to show/hide certain controls based on the menutitemoutput name. Additionally, I need to implement functionality to switch between different SSRS report designs called in the controller class.

Could you please provide guidance or share a snippet of code demonstrating how I can achieve these tasks?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @Hisham Alsayed

In controller class you must add condition in main method.

e.g.

public static void main(Args _args) { YourController controller = new YourController (); if(_args.menuItemName == menuItemOutputStr(FirstOutputMenuItem) { controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(YourReport, Report1)); } else { controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(YourReport, Report2)); } controller.parmArgs(_args); controller.parmDialogCaption("Caption"); controller.startOperation(); }

Best regards,

Hi Hisham,

if let's say you have two designs. Maybe you can add a hidden boolean contract parameter: isReportDesign1()

And in the controller class, you can fill this parameter by checking _args.MenuItemName()

now in the uiBuilder you can access the contract class and hide or show controls based on the contract parameter

OR I think you can do that check in the UIBuilder directly, by using this line of code if(this.controller().parmArgs().menuItemName() == yourMenuitem) then hide or show controls

Thanks,
