drill down in groups

rbuser

Hello,

Sorry if this is a newbie questions or in the wrong group.

Is there any way to use the drill-down feature, when using groups instead of
when using master detail reports.
I want to just show the subtotals/summary of the group, and when desired let
the user click on a label to show the detail band.
I use RB 6.03 Enterprise
I've already tried the following code in RAP, but this doesn't work:
if Detail.Visible = true then Detail.Visible := false else Detail.Visible :=
true;

if I also use a messagebox to display the visibility value, it does toggle!

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

The easiest way is to use the drill down subreport functionality. Instead
of creating a group, create a master detail report using a subreport to show
the details.

The alternative is to code you own drill down feature. You would need to
code the OnDrawCommandClick event handler of the label. Then regenerate the
report from that page forward. Here is an exampel which shows how to drill
down a subreport manually. You could use this approach to force the current
page to regenerate and all the following pages to regenerate.
