rsClientReport -> Outline Settings

edited September 2003 in Server
I am using rsClientReport to connect to server, is there anyway to activate
outline settings as the web-tier design ?

Or would you support this function in the future ?

Thank you.

    The Report.OutlineSettings are used to control the behavior of report
    outline generation. Keep in mind that the report executes on the server.

    The ClientReport and WebTier enable the report outline to be previewed
    by remote apps and web browsers.

    If you want to control the outline settings from the ClientReport or
    WebTier, try defining some custom parameters that can be sent to the
    server. Then use the ReportVolume.BeforePublishReport event to access
    the custom parameter values sent from the client and configure the
    Report.OutlineSettings on the server.

    For an example of implementing custom parameters, see the following
    examples. The example work together. Each contains a ReadMe.doc and
    commented code.

    My Report Settings on server already configure the outline settings on
    designtime, but seems to be reset during the runtime.

    Do you meant I must set it during runtime ? (configure ppReport ?)

    Thank you.

    Please e-mail support@digital-metaphors.com if you would like to receive
    a patch to RB 7.03 that fixes this issue.

    The ClientReport supported the report outline in RB 7.0, but the feature
    was subsequently broken by a modification to the previewer source code.
    (I did not check 7.01 and 7.02, but have fixed this issue for 7.03).
