Possible to dynamically hide/show a subreport

2003-06-11 10:16

Is it possible to dynamically hide or show a subreport based on a variable/field/parameter value in the subreport? We can pass parameters into the subreport, but is there a concept of an "out parameter"? If there is an out parameter construct, then the parent report could decide to hide or show the subreport based on a subreport out parameter value.

 

Does anyone know if its possible to dynamically hide or show a subreport during fill time? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Subreports can by displayed or not based on their

<printWhenExpression>.

 

But that means that you cannot hide them based

on a value that they are calculating themselfs.

By the time the report has returned some value,

it is already appearing on the document and cannot

be removed.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
