Passing parameters

edited February 2003 in Server
Hi, I would like to pass customs parameters to the server without having to
show the autosearch dialog window. How can I do that ?

    1. If you are using the ClientReport, see the article below.

    2. If you are using the WebTier, this will be supported in the next release.

    ClentReport: Custom AutoSearch
    -------------------------------------------

    There are two approaches to customizing autosearch when using the
    ClientReport component.

    a. Customize the built-in autosearch dialog in the same manner as applies to
    a standard TppReport (see RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Custom AutoSearch
    Dialog).

    b. Use the ClientReport.OnReceiveAutoSearchFieldsEvent. This event fires
    when the client report receives autosearch fields from the server. In the
    event-handler, you can programmatically set the search values. You can
    optionally set ShowAutoSearchDialog to False to suppress the autosearch
    dialog and then call PrintToDevices to send the autosearch values to the
    server.


    example:

    ClientReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].ShowAllValues := False;
    ClientReport1.AutoSearchFields[0].SearchExpression := 'A';

    {optional code to suppress the autosearch dialog and generate the report}
    ClientReport1.ShowAutoSearchDialog := False;
    ClientReport1.PrintToDevices;
