Exposing/Showing Collapse All and Expand All Arrows In The Designer; Is It Possible?

edited November 2006 in General
Hello All!

I have a client that is using version 5.x. He says when he runs a report,
after the report is displayed, he can see a set of green up an down arrows
which allows him to either "Collapse All Sub Reports" or "Expand All Sub
Reports". He (and I for that matter), would like to know if those can be
exposed/visible while in the designer.

Thanks in advance for any information that you can share.

Regards,
Everett

    Hi Everett,

    This is most likely a drill down report. It is not possible to show the
    effects of a drill down report in the designer. The buttons you see to
    expand all or collapse all are not built in to ReportBuilder. They were
    either added to a custom previewer or added to the template your user was
    running. The routines TppReport.ExpandDrillDowns and
    TppReport.CollapseDrillDowns can be used to perform these tasks in the
    previewer.
